NEW YORK, Aug. 13 CUP) Each week that passes furnishes fresh proof that if the Clove land Indians do win their first American league flat; in 20 years, Bobby Feller, like hist ory's Betsy Ross, will have done most of the "stitching." Every game he pitches pro vides almost indisputable evi dence that he's going to be the major leagues' most prolific winner for 1940 while at the same time taking rank with the daughter displaying a catch of past and future baseball greats. : steelhead and a 32 pound ial Allows Seven Hits ' mon hooked during a recent Feller won his 20th victory of the season Monday as he pitched Cleveland into first place with an 8-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers who dropped i into second. He gave up only i seven hits while becoming the first pitcher in either league to reach the 20-game victory mark. A spot of wildness in the sev enth when he walked three straight made the victory a tight one. Barney McCoskcy doubled to score two runs and an in field out added another. Feller settled down and blanked the Tigers the rest of the way, however. The Indians loosed a 12-hit attack that in cluded three home runs and drove young Hal Newhousor to cover in the first inning with three runs. Hal Trosky's 21st homer drove in two and Beau Bell's four-bagger, the other. Roy Weatherly hit his fifth homer of the year in the fifth off Clay Smith, who followed Newhouser. Feller fanned seven and walked five. Chicago's White Sox advanced to within 2M games of third place in the American league by shading the St. Louis Browns, 6-5. The Sox slammed out 16 hits and led by 5-2 at one time but the Browns fought back and tied the score in the seventh. The Sox clipped Bill Trotter for a run and the game in the ninth.

Nine teen safo blows, together with eight Balslger errors, enabled the winners to post their second win of the 19-10 seaion In four starts. The Lowell-Wooden Box game began as a well-played contest with good pitching and good fielding, but soon developed into a free-hitting fracas marred by a succession of errors. Low ell's girls opened the scoring with three runs in the second made on four Wooden Box er rors, a walk and Joyce PaUke's hit. With the score standing 7-4 favoring the Lowell club going into the first of the sixth. Wood en Box proceeded to push across four markers on two walks and five Lowell errors to take the lead from their rivals, 8-7.
