Senators Seek
Third Straight

BY BURTON HAWKINS

Tom Brewer. a stranger to
victory this season despite four
excellent efforts that include a
10 defeat by the Senators, will
strive to avoid a seventh sue
cessive loss tonight when the
Red Sox battle Washington at
Griffith Stadium.
Brewer, a 23-year-old right
handler who vaulted from the
class D Carolina League to cap
ture 10 games with Boston last
season, has been the victim of
shutouts by Bob Porterfield and
Chicago's Dick Donovan. He
also dropped a 81 decision to
Cleveland's Herb Score and a
80 affair to Detroit's Duke Mas
ameng his six setbacks.
Brewer has been sabotaged by
Red Sox team showing a ia
maliar tendency to come apart
on the road. Boston has won
only five Of 18 engagements
away from the friendly confines
of Fenway Park.
Senators Call on Pascual
Camilo Pascual, rated by
many observers as the Senators
swiftest pitcher. will attempt to
present Washington its longest
winning streak of the year. That
would be a modest but welcome
three-game string which would
place the club in position to
take over fifth place with an
other triumph tomorrow.
Porterfield and Johnny Schmitz
collaborated in limiting the Red
Sox to six hits last night as
the Senators won. 81. before
5,295 spectators. Porterf1eld, who
annexed his fifth decision, was
forced to retire after five in
nings when his arm stiffened
as the RESULT of being whacked
by Billy Klaus line drive in the
second inning.
Eddie Yost, sidelined again
with a sore shoulder, is expected
back in action tonight. Juan
Delis replaced him last night and
Clipped in with run-producing
single, although his fielding was
shoddy.
Meanwhile, Manager Chuck
Dresser continues to be baft1ed
by the performance of sturdy
Carlos Paula, q 1886 hitter but
not looking the part. OF Paula's
last four hits, three were in
field affairs and the other a
broken-bat blooper to short GEN.
ter.
Paula Starts Spurt
Paula has enough muscle to rip
Griffith Stadium from its foun-
datiops, but with the exception
of a pinch home run at Cleve-
land, he has been a single slap
per. Chuck is waiting for him
to erupt, but is content for the
Negro outfielder to remain lucky
until the explosion occurs.
Paul touched off a two-run
inning against loser Frank Sui
Ivan in the second inning last
night when he beat out
grounder to Shortstop Eddie
Joost back of second base. Tom
Umphlett banged a double to
left and Tony Roig scored Paula
with grounder to Second Base
man Billy Goodman. Umphlett
came across on Porterfield's sim
gle to left.
The Red Sox produced their
lone run in the fourth inning
when Gene Stephens walked,
sped to third on Norm Zauchin's
single to left and scored after
Jackie Jensen flied deep to
Umphlett.
Paula popped a single into CEN
ter in the fourth and the Sena-
tors generated another run when
Third Baseman Klaus threw wild
into rightfield attempting to
force Paula at second after field
ing Umphlett's grounder. Paula
continued to third on the error
and scored on Delis' single to
right.
Notes: Four Red Sox are not
with the club. Milt Boiling,
recuperating from a broken ell
bow, remained in Boston to work
out with Ted Williams. First
Basemen Harry Agganis is in a
Boston hospital with pneumonia
and Pitcher Mel Parnell is hav-
ing a balky right knee treated in
