Pitching and Fielding
Click at Same Time
In Four-Game Sweep
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats are living again. in
a gay mood with a four-game
winning streak, a trio Of 300 hit
tiers and a pitching staff that
has permitted only one earned
run in 80 innings.
They're within whispering dis

letics over the week end and re-
vived interest in their affairs.
The Detroit Tigers, weak sis
ters of the West, move into Grif-
fifth Stadium tomorrow night
when the Mats open a 14-game
home stand, and it's at the tall
enderS' expense that the Mats
hope to square their record in the
two-game series. The st. Louis
Browns then come here for three
games before the rugged men,

cago and Cleveland. provide more
strenuous competition.
Quite A Few Heroes.
Quite a few Washington play
ers had prominent parts in the
teams surge. Apparently hope
lessly beaten Friday night when
Bobby Shantz held a f1ve-run
lead, the Mats scored eight runs
in the last three innings and
escaped with a 10-7 decision.
Walter Masterson followed up
Saturday with a two-hit shut
out. In yesterdays first game
Bob Porterfield had the 8,937
customers squirming with anti
cipation of a perfect game. He
had one for the first six innings,
before Eddie Joost lined a sharp
single to left to start the bottom
half of seventh. Porterfield, who
blasted his second homer in two
games to give the Mats three of
their five runs in the second
inning off Harry Byrd, went on
to pitch a one-hitter, facing the
minimum 27 batters in the
process.
Then Chuck Stobbs followed
with a neatly-pitched second
game, which the Mats won, GO.
Stobbs would have had the
teams third straight shutout
with more adequate fielding sup
port, but as it was he distributed
10 hits nicely. The Mats COM
piled string of 27 scoreless
innings before the Athletics got
a run off Stobbs in the seventh
as the result of an error.

73 Home Runs if Maintained

"Campy is taking his own ad-
vice this year." he said. You
know how we've all been trying
to help Gil Hodges snap his bat
ting slump. Well. Campy ad-
vised him to crowd the plate
more as he was missing too
many pitches that cut the outside
corner of the plate. Roy thought
it was such a good idea that he
decided to do it himself"
Whatever the reason, Campa-
nella has been hitting at a mur-
derous clip. In 81 games, the
bulky backstop has walloped- 10
home runs and has driven in 80
runs, topping the majors in both
departments. In his last Is times
at bat, he has driven in Is runs,
an average of one per time at
bat.
If he continued his present
pace through all 154 games, he
would hit 70 home runs and
drive in 278 runs.
That's wishful thinking, of
course, as no man can keep up
such a tremendous pace. It isn't
even likely that Roy will break
Hack Wilson's major league
mark of 100 runs batted in, with

Ruth'S 60 home-run record with
