FoIoney Going
Into Air Force

Bernie Faloney, former ALL
America quarterback at Mary
land. has been commissioned in
the Air Force and will not be an
assistant coach for the Calgary
Stampeders next season as orig
inally planned.
Faloney played with the Ed
monton ESkimos, the Canadian
pro champions, last season. but
because of an old football knee
injury he had announced his re-
tirement from playing.
1t was this same knee injury
that originally cost him chance
to enter the Air Force as an Of
f1cer. AS a graduate of the Air
Force ROTC at Maryland he was
eligible for a commission, but
failed to pass the physical ex-
animation.
A later examination okayed
Faloney, and he is awaiting
orders.
At Calgary. he was to have
been an assistant coach to Jack
Hennemeier, former assistant
coach at Maryland.

The Senators, who have en-

header starting at 1870 o'clock.
Washed out of engagements

lefthanders. Chuck Stobbs and
Johnny Schmitz. Chicago will
counter with Bob Keegan ODD
and Dick Donovan. the latter a
big righthander who had an 1873
record with Atlanta last season.
Donovan, who failed in previous
trials with the Braves and Tigers,
will be seeking fourth win.
Two Efforts Wasted
Stobbs has staked the SEN
ators to pair of glittering per-
formances in his only starts but
still is looking for his first win.
He dropped a 10 affair to Bos-
ton and was a 80 victor over
Baltimore with two out in the
ninth inning of his last start
before Eddie Watkins belted a
two-run triple off Bob Porter

Crosley Field last season as if it

the Redlegs.
The National League paceset-

ming for seven runs which in
cluded a grand-slam homer by
Carl Furillo and a two-run cir
cult blow by Duke Snider.
Furillo had gone hitless for 13

With Second Homer

BOSTON, May IA (P.-Jackie
Jensen's two-run homer of
Johnny Sain in the 18th inning
beat Kansas City, 81. for the
Red Sox today and handed the
Athletics their eighth defeat in
nine games. 1t was Boston's
fourth straight win.
Jensen, who now has seven
homers for the season. got his
sixth with the bases empty in
the fourth to account for the
other Red Sox run. The AS
pushed over a run against Leo
Kiely in the fifth to tie it at IL.
Harry Agganis singled to left
with one out in the 18th for the
second hit off Sain since he had
come in in the 10th inning.
Jensen followed with a towering
drive which was close to the left
field foul line but well over the
screen.
Russ Kemmerer, third Boston
hurler, was the winner. Sain,
making his first appearance in a
Kansas City uniform, was
charged with the defeat.
1t was a game of missed op-
portunities, punctuated by peri
odical chants of "We want Will
liams" from the fans in the
rightfield pavilion. Slugger Ted
Williams, who signed a contract
yesterday, was seated in the
roof box seat of Club Owner
Tom YaWkey.
Sain, once a star with the old
Boston Braves, brought the fans
to their feet in the 10th inning
by retiring the side after COM
ing in with the bases loaded
and none out. He got Gene
Stephens to foul to the catcher,
