Cuban Helps
Beat Orioles
With 4Hits
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Camilo PaScual, who is de-
veloping into a pitcher worth
watching, also was a hitter of
merit yesterday as the Senators
defeated Baltimore, SIS, before
an enthusiastic. kid packed
crowd of 1897 at Griffith Sta
dium. PaScual struck out IL
and supplied four of the Sena-
tors Is hits as they shared their
third straight victory.
The 22-year-old righthander
nevertheless spent a tedious and
apprehensive afternoon. When
the Orioles weren't tanning they
notched nine hits, and that pro-
duction plus three errors behind
him combined to keep Pascual
under pressure
Leading the league in strike
outs with 80 in three games,
Pascual achieved his second
straight triumph over the ORR
oles and thus matched his 1855
win total against all clubs. Pas
cual has won eight major league
games and four of these have
been at the expense of the ORR
oleS, against whom he has q
clear record.
Wight Victim Again
PaScual'S victim was a luck
less Bill Wight, battered for
eight runs by Boston and WASH
ington while retiring only one
batter in previous outings. This
time the fact that Wight would
start. was kept a secret from
him by Manager Paul Richards
until an hour before the game.
Richards was attempting to
prevent Wight from becoming
stirred up about the possibility
of another failure after being
bombed for an unbelievable
216.00 earned-run average in his
two other starts. The Senators
were unsympathetic. They clip
ped Wight for nine of their Is
hits and all their runs before
he was chased in the third
inning.
The only consolation Wight
could CLEAN from the proceed
ings. and this is slight balm, is
the fact that his earned-run
average was lowered to $500.
Three Whit Twice
i Pascual distributed his strike
outs among nine players, twice
victimiZing Jim Pyburn, Gus
Triandos and Bill Gardner. He
got at least one in every inning
after the first, which was de-
voted exclusively to Shortstop
Jose Valdivielso's throwing out
runners. Camilo also supplied
three singles and double, bat
ting in two runs.
Wight famed the first two
batters he faced and was dream
ing of different sort of a be-
ginning than his other pair of
disasters, but he wasn't to es-
cape flrst-inning damage Karl
Olson singled to center, stole Sec
ond and went to third on TRAN
dos throw into centerfield be-
fore Roy Sievers walked Jim
Lemon got Karl across with a
single to right.
The Orioles matched that run
in the second when singles bv
Tito FrancQna, Triandos and
Wayne CauSey produced a run,
but with two out in the bottom
OF the inning, Pascual singled
and that led to a run. First
BaSeman Bob Boyd permitted
Wlght's pickoff throw to escape
him. allowing Pascual to take
second. Ed Yost walked and
Dick Tettelbach scored the
pitcher with single to center.
Decisive Rally in Third

again with two down. Sioyers
singled but was forced by
Lemon. and Ed FITZGERALD flied
out. Jerry Snyder and Valdi-
vielso singled to fill the bases,
and Pascual thumped two runs
across with another single.
When Yost also singled to score
Valdy, it was bye-bye Wight.
