Torres Gets in Scrap
For Nat Third Base;
Bosox Win Early
BY Burton hdWkIns
Stor SfoR Corrsspondsnt

HAVANA, Mar. 1.-THE scrap for
Washingtons third-base job rapidly
is assuming the proportions of a
battle royal with Gilberto Torres
now tossed into the melee along
with George Myatt and Sherry
Robertson.
Unless President Clark Grif1th
swings q deal for an established
star, Torres will be at third base
for the Mats against left-handed
pitching, with Myatt thus far hav-
ing an edge over Robertson for the
assignment when the Mats are fac
ing a right-hander. Torres will
bring more fielding finesse to the
Washington infield than either
Myatt or Robertson can supply and
his early season swatting also is
relished by Manager Ossie Bluege.
A frail Cuban, who willis under
steady play in hot weather, Torres
nevertheless is expected to be ex-
tremely valuable in a part-time role.
Torres, Guerra Get in Line.
Torres, who signed with Wash
ington yesterday after threatening
to jump to the Mexican League,
Immediately bolstered Bluege's
hopes of Tightening the Mats de-
fense. Torres came up with the
games most sparkling play as his
club absorbed a 7-3 walloping from
the Boston Red Sox here. Gil
streaked in for Ernie Andres roller,
scooped it up with bare hand and
nipped the runner at first with a
crisp throw.
Washington's catching staff also
had been fortified with the addi-
ton of Fermin Guerra, who signed
with the Mats after second pro-
longed conference with Griffith.
Guerra had accepted a $4,000 bonus
for signing Mexican League con-
tract and announced after con-
ference with Griffith on Saturday
that he would play in Mexico.
But Griffith conferred with him
again yesterday, boosted salary
terms and brought him into the
Mats fold. Guerra will return the
$4,000 bonus to Mexican League
officials.
The Mats were limited to four
hits by Tex HughSon, Boo Ferriss
and Mickey Harris, but the Red Sox
got to Roger Wolfe, Mickey Haef-
ner and Walter Masterson for II
hits.
Heaths Errors Hurt Mats.
Boston poured three unearned
runs across in the third after jeff
Heath dropped Paul Campbell's fly
for a two-base error, Ted Williams
triple, Bobby Doerr's double and
Dom Di Maggio's single followed.
The Red Sox, made it 40 in the
fourth when Frankie Pytlak doubled
and got around on Hughson's sac
rifice and Campbell's fly to Heath
Doerr's single and Di Maggio's triple
earned the Red Sox SO advantage
in the fifth, but the Mats in their
half of this inning produced three
runs with considerable help from
Ferriss.
Haefner's single to center repre-
sented Washington's only hit of the
inning, but Ferriss walked three and
Shortstop Johnny Pesky dropped a
force-play throw at second base.
Singles by Harris and Campbell,
plus another error by Heath, netted
Boston another run in the eighth
and the Red Sox picked up their last
run in the ninth on singles by Lang
and Di Maggie, Lang scoring as
Andre dribbled a slow roller to
Torres.
Idle today after splitting the two
game series with the Red Sox,
Washington will resume action to-
morrow against a Cuban all-star
team in the first of five games.
