BOSTON, Aug. 13.-Bob Por-
Iterfield threw to first base seven
times in one inning in a recent
game, attempting a pickoff play
i. Which reminds that Al
Crowder once went an entire
season. late in his career. with
out ever throwing to a base.
II figured I had just so many
pitches left in my arm and
wasn't going to waste any 81
them Crowder said. when ]
took my position on the mound
and could see the runner out OF
the corner of my eye. I knew
he wasn't going anywhere. Il
Il couldn't see him I'd step back
off the rubber and make him re-
treat just by doing that"
The results have been about
the same. In the first inning
of the Senators opening game
with Baltimore. Gil Coan broke
too soon on an attempted steal
and was trapped by Porterfield's
throw to Shortstop Bob Kline
/. That's the only time Bob
has picked anybody off base this
season despite those dozens ano
dozens of throws. And his
teammates feel it's only matter
of time until Porterfield Injuries
his arm with his off balance
awkward move to second base
which has fooled nobody.
~ +
Righthanders with deceptive
moves to first base are rare
virtually to the point of nom
existence. Pitcher Bob Teller,
Shortstop Lou Boudreau and
Catcher Jim Hogan teamed to
devise a highly effective pickoff
at second base, but it required
precise timing and a lot Of prac-
tice and none of the present
crop of players seem to have the
patience to duplicate their pro-
| ficiency.
Hogan gave the signal when
a runner at second became too
frlsky, and Teller and Boudreau
commenced to count in unison.
On the count of three, for
instance. Teller would whirl and
| fire to second base. :. Boudreau
had worked out the timing to
be there with split-second eff
cheney. Wonderful to watch,
and wonder it hasn't been
| initiated.
| When the Senators game with
the Orioles was rained out
Wednesday night. Pitcher George
Zuverink of Baltimore asked
Coach Al Vincent to warm him
up on the sidelines before they
shed their uniforms. Zu-
verink tossed few pitches. then
cut loose with fast ball at the
same instant an engineer threw
a switch that turned. of the
stadium lights. Vincent
hastily hit the ground and
fortunately escaped injury as the
ball whiZzed over him.

Regarding the Defense De-
