Yogi Tops 500
In Seyen-GaIlle
Hitting Spree
Strong Finish Marks
Ford's Fifth in Row;
N. [. Leaders Win
BY the Associated Press

Cleveland's best chance of
slowing up the Yankees pennant
drive is to cool of Yogi Berra's
blazing bat.
The sturdy Yankee backstop
Is really red hot right now. In
his last seven games, Berra has
hit safely IA times in 81 times
at bat for a $40 average. The
Yankees have won six of those
seven games. Two weeks ago,
Berra was hitting .287. Today
he is at .306--and climbing. Last
Sunday he got four hits against
Baltimore. Three days before
that he got four against Chicago.
It was Berra who proved the
difference in New York's 81 VIC
tory over Cleveland last night
that sliced the Indians margin
over the Yankees to liz games.
With Yankees on second and
third in the third inning, Berra
cracked a single of Art Houtte-
man, scoring both runners. That
was the ball game. The Indians,
who had drawn first blood on
Larry Doby's f1rst-inning home
run, his 23d of the season,
couldn't bulge Whitley Ford after
that as the young lefthander
permitted only one hit in the last
five innings.
ErSkine Bests Raschi.
The National League race re-
manned unchanged as the top
three clubs-New York, Brooklyn
and Milwaukee-added to their
victory column. The league
leading Giants maintained their
five-game advantage over Brook
lyn with a I'll triumph over the
crippled Cubs. The Dodgers had
to go all out, edging the Cardin-
ais, 81, as Carl Erskine hested
Vic Raschi in a pitching duel.
The third-place Braves, 10
lengths off the pace, outscored
the Phillies, 81.
The White Sox served notice
they are still in the American
League race by drubbing the Red
Sox, 6-2. The victory advanced
them to within six games of the
Indians. In other games played
under the lights, Cincinnati
overpowered Pittsburgh, To. and
the Athletics downed the Orioles,

Hard-Up Harris
Wins Sympathy
OF Hutchinson

Carver With Murrero
And/or Keriuznkos

Star stoff Correspondent

DETROIT. Aug. with his
starters worn out, Bucky Harris
reluctantly dipped into his bull
pen for a pitcher to face the
Tigers today. narrowing the
choice to Connie Marrero and
Gus Keriazakos. and was ex-
tended sympathy by Freddie
Hutchinson. Detroit manager.
Informed of Harris problem,
Hutchinson expressed his under
standing of the situation in poker
parlance. What a hell Of a pair
to draw to-" exclaimed Freddie,
who preferred to stand pat with
Ned Carver as his starter.
Marrero. employed for only six
innings during July after fritter-
ing away a game to Philadelphia
in late June. last enjoyed victory
June 20 against Baltimore. Keri-
azakos. never trusted with q
starting assignment, on occasion
has turned in creditable relief
pitching.
The Senators now face the
necessity of taking the remain
ing two games of the series here
if they hope to leave town in
fourth place. They were beaten,
20, yesterday by the five-hit
pitching of Bill Hoeft, who has
earned two Of his six triumphs
at Washington's expense.
Another Costly Trip.
Washington's latest excursion
has all the indications Of de-
veloping into another costly road
trip. The Senators have dropped
seven of nine games thus far
and after leaving Detroit they'll
battle the White Sox four times
and the Red Sox in five games.
They've lost four of five in Com
iskey Park and the only two
they've played in Boston.
After splattering three Detroit
pitchers for Is hits the previous
night. the Senators stirred no
only one threat against Hoeft
after the Tigers grabbed a 10
lead against Chuck Stobbs in
the first inning when Harvey
kuenn doubled. shifted to third
on Bill Tuttle's single ard scored
on Ray Boone's grounder.
Hoeft was in trouble only in
the second inning. Jim Busby
was nicked on the leg by a
pitched ball. Tom Implicit sent
Jim to third with a single. to
right. but Ed FITZGERALD popped
out and Stobbs was thrown out
by Second Baseman Reno Ber-
toia.
Implicit Takes Spill.
Hoeft chung tenaciously to his
slim margin until Boone pro-
v1ded him with another run in
the sixth. Implicit attempted
a diving. rolling catch of Boone's
foul down the rightfield line but
missed and injured his left leg
in the tumble. Tom stayed ia
the game after receiving treat
ment, and after the time out
Boone blasted his 18th homer
into the lower leftfield stands
The Senators lone hit in the
last six innings was provided by
Eddie Yost. who singled with
one down in the eighth. but
Wayne Terwilliger flied to Bob,
Nieman in left and Vernon
grounded out. Yost and Vernon
each collected two hits.
Stobbs pitched well enough to
deserve his fifth straight victory
but he was stacked against a
lefthander who was having one
OF his rare effective days. Chuck
held the Tigers to seven hits
with Kuenn the only Tiger to
obtain two.

A ReaffirmatiOn
Of Editorial Principles

The advent of Sentinel editor supplies with this
opportunity to state few of the guiding principles which
have animated this newspaper during its almost 100 years
of life
There is nothing particularly in what we have to
say this subject We like to think that principles
shared by good newspapers everywhere And event.
we that readers of the Sentinel have paid this
paper the high praise of their confidence the
the principles which they have apparently tested and
found worthy.
We hope and trust the Sentinel will continue to receive
that faith friendship and confidence We will do everything
in our power to merit the reader regard which value
highly.
Here in brief are the newspaper ground rules we
know them:
There is no basis for partizanship in the news.
Every person. every group has right to consideration
from its community newspaper.
Political favoritism in the columns is the abuse OF
a trust. 1t will have place in the Sentinel.
Nor does editorial bulysm have place in this news
paper We respect the rights of others well as their Tree
DOM We expect the same consideration from others and
will get it.
We don't like to be pushed around ourselves. Hence, we
don't expect to do any pushing of others.
In sincerity fairness and dignity we will have points
which we think the community would like to have called to
its attention edoraand these editorials in comparison
to the news, will have frank and honest viewpoints
The full name of this newspaper is The Montgomery
County Sentinel Sentinel is vgilant This Sentinel will
try to be vgant the behalf of the County the name OF
which it proudly bears.
