ons, a Highlander, took over. Two
of three passes he issued in the
eighth were mixed in Washington S
hitleSS run.
Pitchers Shine as HitterS.
Prominent among the hitters
were the pitchers with Donald ring
ing up three singles, Candini a
double and a single, and Leonard
a bunted single. Prominent in er-
ratio defense was the Yankee in
field with three errors and Mike
Garback, relief catcher, tossed in
another for good measure. But
the Mats would have won anyway,
for six of their nine runs were
earned.
Washington waited until two
were out in the first to get its scor-
ing under way. Then Stan Spence
drew pass and rode home on
singles by Bob Ortiz and Kuhel.
The Yanks came back to tie,
thanks to an error by Ortiz, but had
their fun stopped by the triple play
Larry Rosenthal singled and so did
Savage Shen Ortiz came in only
10 drop Grimes hoist when a dou-
BILE play was in sight and Rosenthal
scored from second.
But the Mats more than got that
run back. Rick FeTrell opened their
second with a sharp single and
Johnny Sullivan and Leonard got
scratch hits to fill the sacks. A
single lined to left by George Case
got two tallies across.
Mats Sew Up Game.
There was scoring by both sid 5 in
the fifth, but the Yanks got only
one marker against three II the
Mats. Donald'S second single,
George Stirnweiss' one-baser and
Bud Metheny's hoist to Ortiz ac-
counted for the New York marker.
The Mats were much buster as
they sewed up the game. George
Wyatt walked only to be forced
out by Spence then infield errors
put Ortiz and Kuhel on. Gil Torres
singled two to the counting block
and Ferrell's hoist brought in Kuhel
from third.
The sixth was another run-mak-
Ing round for both clubs. It looked
as though Candini would get out
Of trouble after Larry Rosenthal
walked and Savage singled when
Grimes and Mike Garback, batting
for the injured Hemsley. skied out,
but Donalds third wallop scored
RoSenthal.
In the Mats turn, hits by Can
dini and George Case drove Donald
to cover. Then with two ou, John
son passed Ortiz Intentionally and
Kuhel unintentionally to force
across tally.
Some Other TalIies.
Johnson yielded a seVenth-inning
run when Candinis double put Sui
liyan over and in the eighth the
Mats scored of Lyons without max
ing a hit. Kuhel and Ferrell walked,
then came a wild pitch and a wild
throw over third by Catcher Gar
back This was good for the ninth
and last marker.
Leonards back ailment still isn't
considered serious, but the knuckie-
baller asked to be taken out be-
cause he didn't want TO risk max
ing it worse He hadn't done any
pitching in two weeks. Dutch be-
lleveS two or three days of warm
weather will have him right again.
Myatt made a fashy one-hand
stop to keep hit from Metheny in
the first frame. The second sacker
went far behind the base for the
ball and got his man with an off
balance throw.
There were words between Myatt
and Second Baseman Stirnweiss in
the fifth after the former upset the
Yank ShortStop to spoil throw for
q probable double play Myatt slid
IN none too gently, and StirnWeiss
took up Grimes battle.
Hemsley had a finger torn by a
foul IN the Mats fast fifth, and Mike
Garbark took over behind the bat
lor the YankS. In his first turn at
bat Mike skied one to short left,
only to become victim Of Case S
speed.
An odd error put Bob Ortiz on
FIRST base in the sixth. Shortstop
GRIMES, after picking up the big
Cubans bounder, made no effort to
throw to first with an easy out in
sight.
