ernoon against the Athletics,
with Spec Shea the only avail
able choice of Manager Bucky
Harris to oppose Alex Kellner.
And If Vernon hits anything so
trivial as single it can be re-
garded as an upset.
Mickey's last seven hits have
been for extra bases. He had
gone hitless II straight times
before banging a double and
triple last night as the WASH
ing club crushed the Athletics,
1875. Thirteen of his last 16
blows have been for distance,
with z doubles, triples and 3
homers in the group.
Five HOmers One Game.
Vernon's extra-base banging
was lost sight of in a rash of
homerS as Jim Busby, Wayne
Terwilliger and Roy Sievers
swatted them for the Senators
and Gus Zernial slammed two,
but the significance of Mickey's
clouting isn't lost on Harris.
I'D like to see Mickey win a
third batting championship, of
course" Harris said, "but maybe
he'll be more help if he's timely
with those long shots. He's
whacking in those runs, which is
what counts"
The Senators, who have won
seven of their last 10 games, are
facing in Kellner a pitcher who
held them to one hit the only
other time he opposed them this
season. Shea, denoted to bull
pen duty after being slapped
around freely in six starts, still
is seeking his first win.
Harris plans to pitch Maury
McDermott and Bob Porterfield
in tomorrow's double-header
here and then will use Johnny
Schmitz in one of the games
with the Yankees in Mondays
holiday bill in New York. His
other pitcher against the Yam
KEGS will depend on developments
here.
Stone Starts Well.
The Senators now have going
their longest winning streak of
the season. They wrapped up
last nights game early, getting
refreshing pitching perform
ance from Dean Stone in the
process. Stone had q two-hitter
in his grasp for six innings be-
fore willing.
Busby clouted his fifth home
run Of the season off Bob Trice
in the first inning, but Zernial
tied it up in the second with a
home run into the upper deck
that was the only hit of Stone
in the first five innings.
The Senators exploded for four
runs in the third after Vernon
walked and Sievers popped a
single to center. Jim Lemon hit
into a double play, but Pete
Runnels doubled Vernon home.
Shortstop Joe DeMaestri bobbled
Joe Tipton's grounder and Ter
williger belted a three-run homer
into the leftfield seats.
Sievers Hits No. 8.
A walk to Eddie Yost, Busby's
single, Vernon's sacrifice fly and
Lemons double gave Washington
a I'll lead in the fourth and the
Senators added two runs in the
sixth when Vernon walked and
Sievers hit his eighth homer.
The score mounted to 12-1 in
the seventh when Vernon tripled
across two runs and scored on q
wild pitch.
The AS picked up a run in the
seventh on Jim Finigan's double
and Don Bollweg's single, then
added four in the eighth when
they chased Stone. who, how
ever, had earned credit for his
second win. Pete Suder and
Elmer Valo doubled, Spook
Jacobs singled and Zernial
blasted a mighty home run over
the leftfield roof.
Seven of the Senator's IL hits
were for extra bases, three
homers, three doubles and a
triple. Six of the Athletics nine
hits also were for distance. The
Senators were aided by 10 walks

PHILADELPHIA, May 90
Mickey Vernon, in the twilight of
his baseball career at 36, isn't
hitting as frequently as he'd like
to, but there are few complaints
concerning the Senator'S mel
lowing first baseman. He's only
a .267 hitter at the moment, but
is enjoying his best start from
the standpoint of producing
extra-base blows.

An American Tradition

''The darkest hour is just before the dawn" We
hope So For as we read the it often that
mans darkest hour is indeed upon us, and that
there is nothing individuals do to our
selves and fellowmen from steady march to
oblivion. 5f~ @sl@tS~ &f
But this isn't so. There is thing of great i'm
portance that every American citizen do. 1t is
to follow an old tradition of country, to believe
and to speak what we believe. The great strength
of democracy and the fatal weakness of dictatorship
is this. The problems and shortcomings of demo-
cratic society out in the open and freely dis
cussed In dictatorship they are buried under a
blanket of enforced silence until they blow the
whole structure to pieces. II .4...9a.
The atomic bomb has not abolished moral law,
but only made it's consequences more certain. The
beliefs we held yesterday valid today as they
were then. Our duty is to hold resolutey those be-
liefs and speak them out.
The trouble is many of afraid. But from her
earliest days America has stood for the right of
women and men to speak their minds whether any
one else agreed or not And if enough of us will OBJ
serve this tradition congressional investigation
even a nationwide attempt to enforce conformity
to a single narrow point of view seriously threat
en- the liberties for which our nation has always
stood What is more, might be, able to help our
and historic destiny.
The new style in public discussion is, quite true,
bit alarming Those who counsel understanding of
the point of view of other nations risk of being
accused of being 'un-American." Those who propose
