into today's second round Of the

couldn't afford to relax despite

They were only one shot ahead
of little Jerry Barber. the veteran

him fourth in the latest money

He didn't get his fourth homer

his first last year until June s.
And by the time he had eight
runs batted in a year ago, AZ

Angry Senator'S
Out for Yanks'
Scalps Tonight
Loput to Oppose
PorterfieId's Bid
For Second Victory
BY BURTON HAWKINS

ALI but annihilated by the
Yankees in their lone fracas this
season. the battered, angered
Senators viii attempt to retaliate
tonight when the well-muscled
New Workers invade Griffith
Stadium for the opener Of two
game series. Game time Is 8
o'clock.
Bob Porterfield, who split four
decisions with the Yankees last
season. will try to notch his
second victory. He'll be opposed
by crafty Ed Lopat. who gen.
orally has found Washington a
delightful club against which to
operate.
Lopat. whose lefthanded cum
ming has whipped the Senators
~ times in SO decisions, will be
making his first appearance Of
the season as he shoots for his
160th major league triumph.
Also Slated for Relief
Porterfield, an ex-Yankee who
beat the Orioles, 1875, on six hits
opening day, is calculated to be
Washington's busiest pitcher
this season. Manager Chuck
Dresser plans to relieve with Bob
frequently in close games, a
maneuver which has the COM
plete approval Of the Senators
strong boy.
The Yankees. of winging in
quest Of a return to their cham
pionship StatuS--interrupted by
the Indians after five years
come to town with two victories
in three games. One of those
was a devastating 1871 crusher
over the Senators. who aren't
likely to forget the episode.
Whether they can do anything
about it In the immediate future
will depend chiefly on Porter
field and Johnny Schmitz. The
latter will oppose New York's
Whitley Ford. who restricted the
Senator's to two singles Wednes-
day. in tomorrow's 2 o'clock
game.
Suspension Benches Noren
The Yankees will be handi-
capped in the series, with Out
fielder Irv Noren suspended in
definitely as the result of a
heated squabble with Umpire
Bill Mckinley at Boston Thurs
day. The lefthanded hitting
Noren normally would play
against the righthanded Porter
field, but the Yankees hardly are
crippled with Bob Cerv, Enos
Slaughter and Elston Howard
available.
On display as the Yankees
frSt baseman. unless Manager
Casey Stengel veers from an an
nounced decision to play him
regularly, will be Bill Skowron.
The sturdy righthanded hitter
batted $40 with New York in 81
games last year and has started
this season spectacularly with
two home runs In three games.
Dresser sent the Senators
through a lengthy batting drill
yesterday at Griffith Stadium.
Outf1elder Jim Busby hobbled
from the batting cage with a
bruised instep and Catcher Bruce
Edwards suffered a banged toe
as the result Of foul tips, but
both are expected to be avail
able tonight.
