launched the bottom Of the sec

triple to the centerfleld corner.
Ed FITZGERALD followed with a
blow which hit in front of
Rightfielder Hank Bauer, skipped
over his shoulder and rolled to
the bullpen for another triple,
scoring Lemon.
Jerry Snyder lined to Cerv in
leftf1eld and when Morgan

that point, Stengel yanked him.
Mcdonald, making his first ap-
pearance since he suffered
groin injury July 2. came in to
fan Eddie Yost, but he walked
Jim Busby and Vernon on eight
successive wide pitches, forcing
across FITZGERALD.
Out of the bullpen came Allie
Reynolds to retire Runnels on
a grounder to McDougald at
second base and three Senators
were stranded.
That 81 lead appeared skinny
in the fifth after Andy Carey
singled and took second on
passed ball and Willie Miranda
beat out a bounder to short.
Reynolds tried to sacrifice and

a shoulder block by the muscular

it off with a drive back at the
pitcher and when Reynolds
turned the ball struck him on
the left heel and rebounded to-

Stone sacrificed and Yost

double. scoring Snyder. Yost
shifted to third base when Busby
was thrown out by McDougald
and Eddie scampered across the
plate when a Reynolds pitch,
fired head-high and inside at
Vernon, got past Yogi Berra for
a wild pitch.
Stone gave the Senators
rooters an anxious time in the
seventh after McDougald hon.

Slaughter batted for Miranda
and walked. Eddie Robinson then
batted for Reynolds and also
