For Five Runs

By Burton Hakins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

BRADENTON, Fla, Mar. 20.-The
Mats allergy to victory approached
epidemic proportions here today as
the Boston Braves displayed vast
unconcern for the pitching prowess
of Early Wynn, Mickey Haefner
and Ray Scarborough to wailop
Washington, S-6 1t was the Mats
sixth defeat in eight exhibition
games and their third straight loss.
The Braves, who won yesterdays
struggle by the same score, ac-
cumulated only nine hits, but their
timely blows fashioned one run of
Wynn, five off Haefner and two
more off Scarborough as the Mats
compiled II hits off Ed Wright and
AL Epperly.
Washington grabbed . 81 lead
off Wright, but that advantage
vanished with the appearance of
Haefner, who yielded run In the
fourth, three more in the fifth and
another in the sixth.
Wynn's First Pitch Liked.
Boston spurted into a 10 lead in
the first inning, when every batter
belted Wynn's first pitch. Alvin
Dark singled sharply to left and
Mike Mccormick propelled him to
third with a single to right. Dark
scored on Jim Russells fly to deep
center before Bob Elliott drilled
ipto O dnt,hIn-r1ov
That was the only run Wynn
permitted in his 3-inning workout
and the Mats clipped Wright for
the tying run in the third when
AL Evans singled, romped to third
on Wynn's lusty double over Ceni
terfielder Russell's head and scored
on Eddie Lyons fly to right after
Johnny Sullivan popped out.
Washington whisked into 81
lead In the fourth. Mickey Vernon
opened with a double to right-center
and Lee Culberson fetched him
across with a single to center. Cul-
berson shifted to third when Wright
tossed out Larry Drake and scored
when Eddie Yost punched single
into left.
Braves Take Command.
That situation existed briefly, for
the Braves nicked Haefner for run
with two out in the fourth. Russell
walked, Elliott famed and Frank
Mccormick forced Russell before
Danny Litwhiler rammed double
to deep center. Mccormick beat it
around the bases and slid under
Lyons relay to Evans, who seemed
reluctant to tangle with McCor-
mick's spikes.
The Braves moved into command,
5-3. with a 3-run outburst against
Haefner in the fifth. With one out,
Clint Conatser batted for Wright
and walked. Dark looped single to
right and Conatser scored from sec
ond on Mike McCormick's single to
center. A walk to Russell jammed
the bases and Elliott's sizzling sin
gle to left scored Dark and Mike
Mccormick before Frank McCor-
mick smashed into double play.
The Mats greeted Epperly, IA
game winner at Milwaukee last sea-
son, with a run in the sixth when
