Bv BURTON HAWKINS,


NEW YORK. Aug. 22-The Mats
stirred up lot of excitement here
today, but in all the confusion they
failed to stir up run and the
Yankees thus captured a 10 de-
cision as Rookie Hank Borowy
stopped Washington with three hits
to nullify the 4-hit pitching of Ale
jandro Carrasquel.
That excitement the Mats created
was packed into the ninth inning.
For eight previous innings the lone
hit off Borowy consisted of Mickey
Vernon's second-inning single, but
in the ninth the Mats loaded the
bases with none out.
At that juncture the Mats SEEM
ingly were in a fair way of checking
their losing streak at four games
but suddenly things happened to
them. To sum it up, they deserted
vast Yankee Stadium with a 5-game
losing streak.
1t was disturbing to Manager
Bucky Harris of the Mats. He sent
Bobby Estalella plateward to bat for
Carrasquel starting the ninth and
was gratified when the chunky Gu
ban walked. George Case then con-
trbiuted the second hit off Borowy,
a single to left, and the bases were
crammed when Stan Spence's bunt
trickled down the third-base line,
remaining inches inside as Third
Baseman Red Rolfe let it roll.
Di Mag Fools Esty.
That was the situation when Roy
Cullenbine stepped to the plate. He
sent long fly to Joe Di Maggie in
center field After the catch Estalella
broke for the plate and that, it de-
veloped, was mistake Di Maggie
unleashed one of his more magnifi-
cent throws to Catcher Rollie HENS
ley, nipping Estalella, and Bruce
Campbell then sent lofty game
ending fly to George Selkirk in right
field.
Carrasquel, bidding for his fifth
successive victory, was sabotaged by
Third Baseman Cullenbine in the
second inning when the Yankees
produced their only run.
The olive skinned Venezuelan
walked Charley Keller to launch the
Yankees portion of the second in
ming and was in trouble when Joe
Gordon beat out bunt down the
third base line. Selkirk forced Cor
| don at second as Keller took third,
Cullenbine Errs Miserably.
Hemsley shot double play
grounder at Cullenbine, who pro-
ceeded to make a mess of things.
He threw wildly into right field as
Keller crossed the plate. When
Campbell scooped up the ball and
returned it wildly past Cullenbine
Selkirk shifted to third and HENS
ley to second.
Borowy then slapped bounder
to Carrasquel and strange events
occurred. Carrasquel threw to Al
Evans at the plate and Selkirk was
trapped between third and home
While Cullenbine and Evans were
chasing Selkirk up and down the
line Hemsley ran over to within a
few feet Of third and Cullenbine
tagged him out. Roy then whipped
the ball to Evans and caught Sell
kirk at the plate.
Thereafter Carrasquel performed
a notable job of halting the Yam
KEGS, who had hit homers in /:
successive games. He pulled out OF
trouble nicely in the fourth, fifth
and sixth innings when the Yankee.
were putting heavy traffic on the
bases, but in the meantime the
Mats weren't giving Borowy any
gray hairs.
Borowy Hot on Slab.
In the third inning Ellis Clary
reached third base through the me.
dium of walk and a brace of in.
field outs but was stranded. In tn,
fourth Borowy walked Cullenbin,
and Campbell with one out but Yer
non drilled into double play. From
the fifth through the eighth inning
Borowy retired the Mats in order.
Carrasquel eased out of predica
ment In the fourth when a walk t,
Keller, Gordon's single and anothe
Cullenbine error on another Hens
ley grounder filled the bases will
one out. He got Borowy on a fl,
to Spence in short center, though
and Phil Rizzuto forced Hemsley a
second.
