PorterfieId Is Able
To Laugh at Latest
Thump on Head

Bob Porterfield, a magnet for
misfortune. received another
thump on the head yesterday,
but in contrast to the severity of
the Clyde Vollmer line drive
which knocked him unconscious
in Orlando. Fla. several weeks
ago, the Senators crack right
handler came up smiling with his
latest lump.
Porterfield was sitting on the
steps of the dugout in the fifth
inning when Sam Jethroe. Pr
ates' pinch-hitter. lofted a foul
atop the grandstand roof.
The bali trickled back down
the roof and conked the un-
suspecting Porterfield on the top
of the head. but Bob laughingly
reported only slight headache.

White Sox Picked to Stop

One Of these years the Yam

It is more difficult, in per-

The Senators, struggling along
on a modest production of hits
recently. erupted for 16 of them
yesterday to deal the upstart
Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-3 defeat
before smattering of 1,841 fans
at Griffith Stadium.
The Pirates. basking in the
synthetic glory of leading all
major league clubs in exhibitions
with Is victories in 81 games,
were presented all their runs by
Frank Thomas. He doubled
across Hal Rice in the sixth in
ming and blasted a two-run
homer into the leftfield bleach
ers in the eighth off Spec Shea.
Shea, who travelled eight in
nings and permitted all of the
Pirates six hits. gave an en-
couraging performance, giving
up only two hits in the first five
innings.
Three Hits for .Sievers.
Roy Sievers led the Senators
robust attack with a triple and
two singles. but perhaps the most
exhilarating effort by the Sem
ators was turned in by Wayne
Terwilliger. The trim second
baseman, threatened with loss
of his job earlier, produced a pair
of sparkling fielding plays in adj
dition to contributing a single
and double.
Refreshing, too, to Manager
