DiscardsHave Yielded
Only Three Runs in
5 Winning Games
By Burton Hawkins

Bucky Harris has dipped into
the discard pile twice in the last
three weeks and from it has
plucked a pair of aces. Spec
Shea and Lou Sleater. rejected
by the Yankees and Browns, have
compiled a SO record with the
Washington club and have given
Harris solid pitching staff.
The Mats now have six starting
pitchers and firmly intrenched
among them are their doubles
curvers, Shea and Sleater. In
five games they've permitted only
three runs, with Spec yielding
two Of these in three starts and
Sleater allowing one in going the
distance twice.
Sleater gave the Mats their
fourth shutout of the season
they had only six all last year
when he beat the Athletics, 10.
yesterday on Pete Runnels' ninth
inning single. That excellent ef-
fort came after Bobby Shantz
edged the Mats, 81, in the first
game of a double header before
1857 at Griffith Stadium to win
his sixth straight decision and
his seventh of the year. The
split dropped the Mats into a
second-place tie with the idle Red
Sox.
Hudson Pitching Today.
Sid Hudson, beaten, 2-1 and
80, in his last two outings. hoped
to snare his third victory in a
ladies' day game today. He was
to be opposed by Sam Zoldak,
longtime Mats nemesis, who has
a 1916 lifetime record against
Washington.
Harris starters seem to be
aware that the first run they
allow may defeat them. and have
been pitching accordingly. Here's
the record of Bucky's starters in
their last six efforts:
Sleater-Defeated Philadelphia,
10.
Julio Moreno-Lost to Phila-
delphia, 2-1.
Bob Porterfield-Defeated st.
Louis, AZ.
Hudson-Lost to st. Louis. 81.
Connie Marrero-Defeated st.
Louis. 20.
Shea-Defeated Cleveland, 20.
Thus. in his last full swing
through his starting staff, Bucky
has seen the Mats opponents
score only six runs in six games.
Harris is through f1ddling with
Don johnson as possible starter
as result of those performances.
Marrero to Oppose Yanks.
Bucky will send Marrero
against the Yankees Allie Reyn-
oldS tomorrow night in New York.
He'll use Porterfield, Shea and
Moreno against the Red Sox in
three games at Boston before the
Mats return to Griffith Stadium
to battle Detroit in the opener of
Ia four-game series Saturday
night.
While the Mats pitching has
been superb. allowing only % runs
In their last 10 games. their bat
ters have produced only 10 runs
over the same span. So the team
has had to settle for a split.
1t was the usually reliable Eddie
Joost who paved the way for the
Mats winning run in the second
game yesterday when he fumbled
Jim Busby's grounder. Jackie
Jensen sacrificed and, after Bob
Hooper purposely passed Mickey
Vernon, Runnels broke up the
game with a sharp single to center.
Sleater, who hasn't permitted
a run in IL innings, gave up seven
hits. while Hooper restricted the
Mats to five.
Shantz, who now has a IL rec
ord, was staked to a 20 lead I'M

run off Moreno in the first inning
