Senators Look
Alive in Win
Over Cleveland
BY BURTON HAWKINS

The Senators are supposed to-
be stepping stones for all clubs
with pennant ambitions-and
generally fulfill that role-but
they've produced some stirring
struggles against the Indians to
|ieopardize Cleveland's prospects.
As the result of q Us triumph
over Cleveland last night at
Griffith Stadium before Vice
President Nixon, Secretary of
State Dulles and Attorney Gen.
Ieral Brownell. plus 9,153 other
customers, the Senators have an
81 edge over the Indians for
the year. They can't claim a
margin over any other club.
It's a strange spectacle,
watching the Senators against
the Indians. Chuck Dressen's
outfit comes alive. Dean Stone,
for instance. has won only six
games this season. but he has
Ia 80 mark against Cleveland.
Indians Rally in Ninth
Stone required help last night
as the Indians rallied for five
runs in the ninth inning. They
were killed off, finally, not by
the pitching Of Bob Chakales or
Chuck Stobbs. but by Larry
Doby's overzealous base run.

Dolby, representing the tying
run, welcomed Stobbs with a
looping single to left which
scored Al Smith and sent Vic
Wertz to third base with two out.
Dolby, attempting to get into
position to score on q single,

SpOu mSSueS OeDut
The Senators spoiled 38-year-
old Sal Maglie's debut as an
American Lacquer. The ex-Giant
was shelled for five runs and six
hits before departing with none
out in the third inning after Roy
Sievers singled.
They also deprived Cleveland
OF chance to take over first
place as Baltimore edged Chi
cago, 2-1. The Yankees. victori-
GUS over Detroit, moved into a
second place tie with the Indians,
,002 behind the White Sox.
The Senator's will attempt to
stop the Indians again today,
with Camilo Pascual nominated
to oppose Art Houtteman. In a
double-header tomorrow the
Senators will send Johnny
BchmitZ and Bob Porterfleld
against Early Wynn and Mike
Garcia.
, Four Runs In First
Msglie's entrance into Ameri-
can League competition was un-
distinguished. He was clipped
for four runs in the first inning

single gave the Washington club
another run in the second inning
and they added two more for a

singles by Valdivielso, Oravetz
and Sievers'. plus an error by
AL Rosen.
ShutOut Spoiled
Stone entered the ninth inning
with four-hit shutout. but Sam
Dente opened with a double,
Ralph Kiner walked and Hank
Foiles doubled to dispose Of him
and give the Indians a run.

with a single that scored Kiner
before Gene Woodling tapped in

score Foiles with the third run
and Avila came across when
Rosen was whipped out by Eddie
Yost.
When Wertz walked, Stobbs
was waved In from the bullpen.
Dolby kept the uprising alive
with his single, scoring Smith,
but few seconds later he ended
it all with his reckless run to
