Jim Hearn, the righthander
nobody wanted. is the first Ma
tional League pitcher to win six
games this season. He picked up
No. 6 yesterday in Milwaukee as
the Giants beat the Braves,
80, in the only major league
game scheduled. That edged
the Giants into second place,
three percentage points ahead
Of the Cubs.
It was the fourth complete
game for Hearn, who has lost
two. Only Gene Conley of the
Braves and Robin Roberts Of the
Phillies have completed five.
The Braves touched Hearn for
10 hits. but only two went for
extra bases and he left eight
stranded. After getting his 80
lead. the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder
gave just four hits over the last
five innings. In all, he famed
six and walked one.
WiIdness Shelved Hearn
It was wildness that contrib
uted to Hearn's 1854 disap-
pointment. He was put on the
shelf as a starter with the world
champions after September ! by
Manager Leo Durocher. And at
seasons end he was on the
block.
But nobody stepped up to get
Hearn, one Of the stars of the
Giants little miracle of 1851.
He won II that year. including
the first game in the pennant
piayoff with Brooklyn.
Hardly anyone wanted Hearn
in 1850. either. when st. Louis
let him go to the Giants for the
waiver price. Yet Jim, who
came up with the Cards in 1947,
led the league in 1850 with a
2.49 earned run average.
Has One Shaky Moment
Hearn had one really shaky
moment yesterday. Danny
O'Connell made his fourth
straight hit leadof double In
the ninth. But Hearn let him
get only as far as third while
ending it. Hank Aaron got the
other long hit off Hearn. solo

Senators Trying
Red Sox Series
PorterfieId Choice
Tonight as Griffs
Aim at Fifth Place
BY BURTON HAWKINS

The Senators and Red Sox,
frequently embarrassed by fail
ure to produce a run and who
split a pair of 10 decisions in
their only head-on collisions this
season, open a ,three-game series
at 8 o'clock tonight at Griffith
Stadium.
Washington can sneak within
a mosquitoes eyelash of fifth
place, currently occupied by Bos-
ton, by whipping the Red Sox in
two of three games. It will re-
quire a sweep, however. for the
Senator'S to take possession.
Boston is setting the pace. re-
luctantly, in being blanked. The
Red Sox have been the victims
of seven shutouts, while the Sem
ators have been held seoreless
five times. No other team in the
league has been whitewashed
more than three times. i.
Porterfield to Pitch
Bob Porterf1eld, who has failed
to remain the route in four starts
since he edged Tom Brewer of
the Red Sox, 10, on three hits
a month ago, will be given the
opening assignment by Manager
Chuck Dresser. He'll be op-
posed by 6-foot-6 Frank Sui
hvan.
Porterfield. trying for a fifth
win, will follow the pattern OF
two past seasons If he achieves
it. A 22-game winner in 1858,
Bob registered his fifth victory
of that season May %. Last
year, en- route to IS wins, he
captured No. on May 81.
Hope that Ted Williams would
return to duty here and perhaps
needle sagging attendance was
extinguished when the slugger
remained in Boston. Working
himself in condition, Williams
stayed home to take batting
practice at Fenway Park. He

BOSTON, May 20 (P.-Every
time William Helis' Helioscope
has appeared In a race this sea-
son, a new track record has re-
sulted-even when the brilliant
4-year-old was defeated while
trying to spot Social Outcast and
Fisherman S pounds each at
Bowie last April.
Helioscope more than squared
things with Alfred G. Wander
bilt's Social Outcast in yester-
days $50,000-added Massachu-
sets Handicap at Suffolk Downs.
winning by long half length in
2:01, two-fifths Of a second
under the track mark for a mile
and one-quarter set in the same
race two years ago by To Mar
ket.
Leads all the Way
The Heliopolis colt led all the
way under a strong ride by
Sammy Boulmetis, but had to
stand off a strong challenge
from Social Outcast and Jockey
Eric Guerin in the early stretch.
At the end the Helis colt was
pulling away gradually.
Eddie Arcaro could do no bet
ter than third, three lengths be-
hind Social Outcast, in his effort
to give Sam Tufano's Wise Mar
gin second straight victory in
New England's No. stakes. Og-
den Phipps' Bassanio was 21a
lengths farther back. last in the
four-horse field.
Helioscope started breaking
track records in his first 1855
race at Bowie March 26 when he
ran Z furlongs in l:223s in
winning the Southern Maryland
Handicap under 1913 pounds.
This race brought him 100
pounds for the John B. Camp
bell Memorial at Bowie April 9
and Helioscope, a 1-to-2 favorite,
wasn't quite able to spot Social
Outcast and Fisherman S
pounds each. The Helis star ran
third after battling Joe Jones for
the lead most Of the way

SETS 3 MARKS IN 4 RACES
Another I rack Record
Broken by HeIioscope

Telescopes next race was the
Valley Forge Handicap at Gar
den State Park, where he ran a
mile and 10 yards in 1:403s for
another track mark, again un-
der 100 pounds. The Helis colt
also set a record for 11s miles
when he won the Olympic Han
dicap at Atlantic City last Octo-
ber in 1:473s.
Both Helioscope and Social
Outcast carried 1875 pounds yes
terday. The crowd of more than
$4,000 made the Helis star the
9-to-10 favorite, while his chief
rival went off at 7 to S. There
was no show betting on the race.
Played Around, Reder Says
After yesterdays race, in which
Social Outcast made up six
lengths to draw within a neck of
the favorite, Jockey Boulmetis
revealed that Helioscope might
have won much more convinc-
ingly but for a tendency to play
around.
Hes a lot Of race horse and
before the year is over he should
earn his right to greatness, but
he's still a clown at heart" Boul-
metis said.
"He started to clown around
and play going down the back
side when I tried to breeze him
and he ducked out at the three
eighths pole.
This meant I had to go right
back to work when Social Out
cast came up to challenge. He
proved his greatness by pulling
away"
Actually" Boulmetis con-
tinued, ''Helioscope would be
greater If he had to come
from of the pace but we never
seem to run into any early speed
in our big races and with no
pace, we have to take over"
Helioscope followed his pattern
of taking the lead from the start
and held on throughout despite
a terrific effort by the Wander
bilt entry.

BALTIMORE, May 20.-The
assurance that c. v. Whitney'S
game little Fisherman will be
entered in the $25,000. Dixie
Handicap at Pimlico tomorrow
just about makes the race and
justif1es the moving Of the famed
stakes from the dirt track to the
turf.
The son Of Phalanx is a Mary
land favorite, although he makes
only infrequent appearances out
Of the New York area. He won
many followers when, in the fole
Of a pinch hitter, he won the
Washington ID. Co. Internation-
al at Laurel last fall in a per-
formance which might be COM
pared to a rookie hitting a home
run in the World Series.
In his most recent visit to
Maryland on April 9, Fisherman
figured in another thriller when,
he lost by a whisker to Social
Outcast in Bowie'S $4,000
Campbell Handicap. A week
later he won the Excelsior Hand
leap in New York.
Fisherman ran a disappoint-
ing race last Saturday in the
Metropolitan Handicap. but he
will be well backed when he
shoulders 125 pounds in the
Dixie, which has been stretched
to a mile and three eighths. The
colt trained by Sylvester Veitch
seems to have the knack Of pro-
yiding the spectacular whenever
he comes to Maryland.
In his last three visits to the
State, he has been ridden by
Eddie Arcaro, but tomorrow
Hedley Woodhouse will handle
the reins.
Fisherman carries one pound
less than st. Vincent. the Eng
liSh-bred California star who Is
the probable favorite for the
event. A field Of II is expected
to be entered today for the
handicap.

Deal With Interpretation
One question dealing with in

Another question asks whether
the first amendment and the
