Vernon Will Be Calm
About 2,OOOth Hh;
He Had Bigger One
By Burton Hawkins

Mickey Vernon is sneaking up
on his 2.OO0th hit as if it con-
tains radioactive material. and
when he finally nails it there will
be no emotional outburst by the
Senators mild-mannered first
baseman.
OF the 1899 hits he has OBJ
tanned thus far, Mickey remem-
bers one above all. There's no
competition" Vernon says. ''The
big one. for me. was opening
day."
He's referring, of course, to his
10th-inning homer off Allie
Reynolds which got the Yankees
off on the wrong foot and earned
Mickey a handshake from Presi-
dent Eisenhower in the first
game of the season this year.
Vernon is approaching his
goal slowly, with four hits in his
last five games. Ned Carver will

mediate ambition this afternoon
against the Tigers, making their
final appearance of the year at
Griffith Stadium.
P0rterfield Seeks 18th.
Bob Porterf1eld, who surged
down the stretch last year, will
attempt to square his record at

of Johnny Schmitz.
Schmitz, who has won nine
game and has defeated every club

surprise. The Senators have ex-
perlenced few pleasant sensations
this year, and Johnny's work has
been a decided contrast to some
of the pitching they've viewed.
Johnny didn't permit a runner
to advance to third base last
night and only three reached sec

He walked none and had the
Tigers beating the ball into the
ground all evening.

The Senators produced all

Jim Tatum sent words of eau
ton to University of Maryland
alumni, Terrapin Club members
and the specialists previewing
football teams yesterday as the
team that will defend No. l
ranking in the country reported
for practice.
"It's ridiculous to think that
we, or any other team can win
every game every season." Tatum
said, "yet some people expect us
to go undefeateded again this
year. I want our boys to think
they can win every game, but to
me it looks like a 7-3 season."
Tatum said later that it could
be 8-2, it conceivably could be
a 81 year, and. of course, if all
the question marks developed
and il Maryland could he as
lucky as it was last year before
I Bernie Faloney was hurt, it
could be 100.
But he was serious when he
was talking about winning seven
and losing three. He wouldn't
name the seven victims or pre-
dict which three teams would
beat him, but he gave a capsule
prevlew OF nine of the 10 oppo-
nentS. He didn't mention Miami.
KENTUCKY-Paul Bryant left
the best material in the South
eastern Conference behind when
he went to Texas A8sM. 1t re-
mains to be seen what will be
done with it.
UCLA-Tatum's choice for No.
ranking in the country.
WAKE FOREST - Best IL
football players in the Atlantic
Coast Conference. Not deep, but
the Deacons will be dangerous
as long as the IL hold up.
NORTH CAROLINA - The
sleeper or dark horse of the
season, according to Jim. He
figures that if Carolina can pick
from it's five quarterbacks the
boy who can make the team
move. this could be the team of
the year.
SOUTH CAROLINA - The
Gamecocks could win nine and
lose one, Jim believes.
NORTH CAROLINA STATE
Tatum doesn't envy Earle Ed
wards job at Raleigh this year
and doesn't want to make N. C.
State angry, but he believes
Maryland should win this one.
Although, he recalled, that's
what he thought when State
won, 1913, in 1850.
CLEMSON-Ranks Don King
Of the Tigers with Ralph Gug-
lielmi Of Notre Dame as the two
best quarterbacks in the coun-
try. and while King lacks the
Notre Dame backs ball handling
sickness, King can do more
things. Jim believes. Tatum
likes this Clemson team.

Giants. Happy
To Get Out Of
Cros|ey Field
Redlegs Take Edge
For Year; Streuking
Cubs Hurt Dodgers
By the Assoeiatsd Press

II the Giants lose the National
League pennant, they may have
dropped it in Crosley Field.
They played their last contest
of the season in the Cincinnati
park last night. The Reds. cuffed
seven New York pitchers-one
less than a league record--for
13 hits and 10 walks in gaining
a 81 triumph.
The Giants have lost six Of
II games to the Reds in Crosley
Field while the second-place
Dodgers, still 31a games behind.
have won nine of the II played
there. On the other hand,
the leaders have a 80 record
against the Reds at the Polo
Grounds.
Last nights loss was costly
for the Giants, since 1t kept them
