BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.-The
Senators move in against the
Orioles tonight and tomorrow

other lefthander in hopes of a
performance similar to Chuck
Stobbs' three hitter over the
White Sox in Chicago yesterday.
Maury McDermott Glib will
pitch for Washington and at
tempt to bring the Senators the
one victory they need to clinch
their season-long series over the
Orioles. Washington is certain
of no less than than a tie over
the 22-game stretch with IL
games already won, and needs
only one more to show an edge
over Baltimore this season.
The Orioles will counter with
Lou Kretlow (4-10). who like

fine pitching performance by a
teammate. Joe Coleman tossed

Orioles Bring Up Players.
McDermott, hoping to match
Stobbs' 20 job against the
White Sox yesterday, will face
two new Orioles players. The
Baltimore team has brought up
a couple of promising farm
hands from San Antonio for use
tonight, Joe Durham, a Negro
centerfielder, and Frank Kellert.
first baseman.
Kellert was a .314 hitter in
the Texas League, where he led
the loop with 146 runs batted in
and tied for the home-run lead
with Al.
In finishing their business in
Chicago yesterday, the Senators
left only one runner on base and
got only three hits, the same as
the White Sox. The difference
was that while two of Washing
toms hits were homers the most
the White Sox got of Stobbs
was double by Chico Carrasquel
that did no damage,
StObbs Developing.
Stobbs may be developing into
the prize young lefthander the
Senators figured he would be
when they acquired him from
the White Sox before the 1858
season. His victory yesterday
over his old teammates was far
and away his best pitching ex-
hibition this year as he won his
ninth game against 10 losses:
StobbS is inclined to wildness
at times, but yesterday he walked
no one and seldom even got be-
hind a batter. =
Only three White Sox reached
base. They were Carrasquel,
who doubled in the third and re-
manned at second; Sherm Lollar,
who singled in the second and
was stranded there, and Fred
Marsh, who singled in the fifth
and was caught stealing. Stobbs
thus faced only 20 men. two over
the minimum.
Dorish Allows Only 8 Hits.
Chuck had to be that good,
for his opponent. Harry Dorish.
an old Washington tormentor,
allowed only three hits, but per-
mitted two of them to sail out
of the park.
Roy Sievers belted his oath
home run Of the year into the
left-field upper deck leading of
the fourth inning.
Bob Lemon hit his first. lead
ing of the eighth. The ball
sailed into the lower stands In
deep left center.
Lemon singled for the other
Senators hit and was wiped out
in q double play. Thus. Pete
Runnels, who walked in the Sec
ond. was the only Washington
player left on base. The White
Sox stranded only two men.
The game was played in the
phenomenal time of hour and
80 minutes for the fastest game
played In the American League
since September 80, 1851. The
Senators also had hand In
that one, which was against the
AS and consumed ! hour and
IS minutes. 4
