apparent victory was trans
formed into a CALLING loss left
the Senators a woefully debated
crew.
Chuck Stobbs seemingly had
the Orioles Stymied. He had per-
mitted three hitS-two of them
tainted-in the first five innings
and his 20 lead with two down
in the sixth inning appeared for
midable. Then the roof coll
lapsed. Dick Kryhoski singled.
So did Sam Mele and Bob Ken
nedy and Vernon Stephens, Clint
Courtney and Bill Hunter. The
six singles added up to four runs.
Bucky Harris, caught with his
bullpen idle, had nobody to put
out the fire until Camilo Pas
cual warmed up sufficiently to
strike out Joe Coleman, ninth
batter of the inning.
Harris had no inkling Stobbs'
effectiveness would vanish with
such rapidity. Chuck had famed
six Orioles in the first three in
nings and it was reasonable to
anticipate he was going to pro-
duce his finest effort of the year.
Then, blooey, and another game
exploded in the Senators faces.
Sievers' Record Intact.
Roy Sievers blasted his sew
enth home run into the left
field stands off Coleman in the
fourth inning to stake the Sen
ators to a 10 lead, but that
might have been interpreted as
an i'll omen. The team has lost
every game in which he has hit
q home run.
The Senators increased their
lead to 20 in the sixth inning.
when they might have boosted
their margin additionally and
chased Coleman, but this time
it was the uncertain coaching
Of George Myatt at third base
which broke the back of a pos
sible big inning.
Eddie Yost walked, stole Sec
ond and went to third on Jim
Busbys single to right. Mickey
Vernon got YoSt across with a
fly to left and Sievers followed
with a booming double off the
leftfield wall which narrowly
missed being his eighth homer.
Busby, appeared ready to pull
up at third base, which seemed
discreet, but Myatt waved him
to the plate. Shortstop Hunter
relayed the ball from Chuck
Dierirg to Courtney and Busby
was out. Sievers, who took third
on the play, was stranded when
Tom Wright grounded out.
After the Orioles uprising,
the Senators reduced their def
icit to 4-3 in the seventh. Pete
Runnels, hitting 500 in his last
four games, singled and with
one out Third Baseman Steph-
ems booted Wayne Terwilliger's
grounder. Clyde Vollmer batted
for Pascual and popped out,
but Yost's single to right scored
RunnelS before Busby popped
out.
Lead0f Double Wasted.
Vernon opened the eighth with
a pop-fly double to right, but
didn't bulge an inch as Coleman
knocked down Sievers' smash
and threw him out, Wright
famed and Runnels hit back to
Coleman.
The Orioles added a run in
the eighth after Bunky Stewart
walked Stephens and Courtney,
then walked to the clubhouse.
Sonny Dixon came along to force
Stephens at third after fielding
Hunters bunt, but walked Cole
man to fill the bases and Harris
had seen enough of him.
Bobby Young's fly to short left
off Johnny Schmitz scored
Courtney from third before Run
nelS made a spectacular diving
stop of Diering'S grounder and
threw to Yost to catch Hunter,
who had rounded third base too
far.
Coleman wrapped up his
fourth win by disposing of the
Senators 1928 in the ninth. Ed
FITZGERALD flied out, Terwilliger
struck out and Pinch-hitter
Tom Umphlett was thrown out
by Stephens. The defeat was
