sen hit to skip past him for a
double in a liberalized version
of scoring. He called for still
another Jensen fly, decided at
the last split second that the
courteous thing to do was to
permit Whitley Herzog to catch
it, but failed to inform Herzog
of his decision. After those cpl
sodes. he was benched in the
second game.
But Paula wasn't alone. jim
Lemon permitted jim Piersall's
liner to pop out of his glove
for a three-base error in the
third inning of the first game,
when the Red Sox scored seven
runs off Connie Grob. And in
the second game Lemon was
standing directly under Pete
Daley wallop but gave way to
Karl Olson and the ball plopped
between them. The Sox scored
only three runs in that inning
So it's likely today that Dresser
will summon his outfielders to a
soundproof room and have them
shout II got it" and Take it
until hoarseness sets in. It's
simple English. but the Senators
have been unable to coml1e-
bend.
Clevenger Chased
Tex Clevenger couldn't sur
vive the first inning of the opener
after the Senators staked him to
five runs against Tom Brewer
Clint Courtney supplied a two
run double and Lemon a two-run
single in that uprising, but when
Cleyenger gave up run and had
two on base with only one out,
Grob was called to put out the
fire.
He did, for the moment. but
they cuffed him around. in the
third, when errors by Lemon and
Ed Yost, plus Paula's fielding de-
ficiencies, immersed him in
trouble. Brewer blasted a three
run homer to cap Boston's rally
which sent the Red Sox into an
S-6 lead.
Sievers reduced the deficit to
81 in the eighth with a homer,
but that was the lone hit off
Brewer in the last 623 innings.
He went the distance to win his
sixth decision against only one
defeat.
Snyder Saves Day
Pedro Ramos emerged as the
winner in the second game, but
1t required laSt-ditch heroics
SieverS crashed three-run
homer in the first inning, when
the Senators got four, but with
two down in the ninth Washing
ton was losing. 81.
Pete Runnels singled to open
the ninth, but Sievers flied out.
Lemon singled but was forced
by Karl Olson. That left it up
to the surprising Snyder. He
responded with a homer over the
leftfield fence. 1t was the Sec
ond homer of his major league
career. His other was an inside
the-park affair against the Red
Sox at Washington a few weeks
ago.
But the Red Sox rebounded
against Ramos, with singles by
Jensen, Norm zauchin and
Piersall tying the score. Sievers'
two-out double off Tom Hurd
after Courtney and Herzog
singled provided the clincher.
with HerZog being nipped at the
plate when he also tried to
score. Dean Stone came along
to dispose of the Red Sox in
order in the 10th.
NOTES: Bob WieSler or Hal
GriggS will face the Orioles here

the Red Sox and all at Boston
Olson had gone hitless %
straight times until he singled
in the seventh inning of the Sec
ond game.
Bob Chakales appeared in both
games and it's getting to be a
rare occasion when he doesn't
walk in from the bullpen. He
has pitched in seven of the SEN
ators last 10 games The first
game was delayed a few minutes
because of rain Five of Sic
