CHICAGO, June 16.-Some
fter-thought pitching selec-
tons by Managers Chuck Ores
sen and Marty Marion, match
Hal Griggs against Jack Harsh
man in today's renewal Of the
close rivalry this season between
the Senators and White Sox.
The Sox. by virtue Of last nights
Ia victory before a crowd of
16.467. have 5-4 edge on the
seasons going.
Originally Marion had con-
sidered Dick Donovan as his
choice for today. but when he
heard Chuck Stobbs was to work
for Washington, Marty declared
for Jack Harshman, who hasn't
been in the highest favor with
his boss lately. Then Dresser
had another idea. and now-Sub-
ject, of course, to change of
managerial whims without no.
tice-Stobbs and either Dean
Stone or Pedro Ramos will work
in tomorrow's e-header,
against Donovan and Bob Kee-
gan.
The Washington pitching
wasn't anything to write home
about last night. Starter Bob
Wiesler. in his six innings,
walked eight and hit one, but
because of double plays in each
of the first four innings managed
to stay fairly close to Billy Pierce,
who was cunning for his ninth
victory. 1t was a 80 ball game
when Wiesler gave way to a
pinch hitter. Camille Pascual got
by the seventh, but in the eighth
Ia homer by Shermin Lollar, and
a bases-clearing triple by Nelson
Fox brought four runs across.
Outfleld Swampy
Chicago had showers most Of
the afternoon and there were
spots in the outfield that were
strictly marshland. However
the Sox. who have eight post
poned games to paly of, ordered
the game played.
Wiesler's wildness got him in
trouble in the first two innings
but double plays kept him alive
IA pass to Luis Aparicio set ur
the first White Sox score. He
was forced by Pierce, but Sam
my opposite and Nelson Fox
moved Pierce across with sue
cessive singles.
Wiesler continued the pat
tern of walking the first man
when he put Dave Philley on in
the White Sox sfourth, but now
his wildnesS took a new turn.
In attempting to pick Philley
of first. his throw bounded far
enough out Of any ones control
for Philley to get to third. Wies-
Ter added variety by hitting
Lollar. Then Walt Dropo's
single scored Philley, just before
Aparlcio tapped to Runnels and
Pete started double play No. 4.
Pierce Turns Wild
Now it was Pierce's turn to
get wild. The first three Sena-
tors up in the fifth, Karl Olson,
Bob FITZGERALD and Joe Validi-
vielso walked. but Wiesler hit
into a double play as Olson
scored.
The incredible Carlos Paula
came up in the Washington sixth
with some novel base running
He was on first aftel getting a
blooper single. The count on
Roy SieverS was 3 and when
Carlos lit out for second. Lol-
lars throw was several feet wide
of the base. and, Fox went after
lit. Instead Of sliding into the
base, the obliging Paula slid into
Fox and was out.
WieSler had two out in the
White Sox sixth when he walked
Lollar and Dropo. Aparicio then
singled to score Lollar.
Another fine chance to take
command was passed up by the
Senators in the seventh. The
bases were filled with none out.
but only one run scored on a
sacrifice fly by Harmon Kille-
brew.
Lollar's homer, his fourth of
the year, enabled the White Sox
to draw a bit farther ahead in
the eighth. But the worst was
yet to come. Dropo singled,
Aparicio and opposite drew
passes and Fox cleared the bases
with a triple.
