Dresser can't pry him from the
bullpen.
Unless Dean Stone or Bob
Wiesler start to win, Chakales
will become starter" Dresser
said, "but right now ! want him
in relief"
Sure, I want to be a starter"
Chakales said, but whatever
use Dresser wants to make of
me is all right with me. He's
helped to make a better pitcher
of me. He taught me the value
of a slow curve and he's shown
me a lot, too. about setting up
hitters for different pitches"
In his last two outings Cha
kales has resembled the pitcher
the Phillies thought they might
have someday when they handed
him a $4,000 bonus in 1945.
Bob, wild in the minors, bounced
from Cleveland to Baltimore to
Chicago to Washington, where
he finally may succeed.
Il think having my appendix
out during the winter had a lot
to do with my improvement, f"
Bob said. II feel like pitching
now. Last year I had a sore arm
and a bad back. I'm stronger
and more confident. I'm getting
my curve and slider over the
plate and that gives me a big
lift"
Beaten in Is of their first IA
meetings with Chicago last sea-
son, the Senators will rely on
Camilo Pascual to present them
a second straight triumph over
their 1855 tormentors tonight at
8 O'Clock. The Cuban right
handler will be opposed by Dick
Donovan, who whipped the SEN
atorS five times in six decisions
last year.
Fans Get Early Shock
The Senators gave some 6,162
customers an early shock last
night. Stone was nailed for
three unearned runs in the first
inning and with the polished
Pierce on the mound for Chicago
that appeared to be the ball
game.
But Washington rebounded
with four runs in the first. Ed
Yost and Dick Tettelbach walked
and Karl Olson singled across
a run. Then after Roy Sievers
famed, Lemon walked to load
the bases. Pete RunnelS slammed
. double to left. scoring three.
A YoSt error on Luis Apa-
racio'S grounder, Pierce's sacri-
flee and Bubba Phillips single
tied the score in the second in
ming and when Stone walked
Nellie Fox, Chakales was sum-
moned from the bullpen. He got
Minnie Minoso to hit into al
double play. with Snyder initial
ing 1t with a dash to his left for
Minnies sharp grounder.
Lemon Comes Through
That's the way it stood until
the seventh. when Yost singled,
Tettlebach sacrificed, Olson took
a third strike and Sievers was
Intentionally passed. Lemon re-
sponded to that strategy by belt
ing perhaps his most tremendous
homer-eight rows or so from
the top of the bleachers in front
OF the beer sign.
Il hit one in Chattanooga last
year that was longer" Jim said,
but they use a livelier ball I'M
that league. Everything I had
went into the one hit off Pierce.

half game and the Pirates, of all
people. are only a game off the
pace.
Enos Slaughter, a Yankee dis
card, tormented his old mates as
he doubled and scored the win
ming run for Kansas City in the
ninth inning yesterday.
What made it worse for the
Yanks was that they had batted
back from a To deficit earlier
on home runs by Mickey Mantle,
Hank Bauer and Yogi Berra. But
they could do nothing with Re-
lief Pitcher Ed Burtschy, who al
lowed just one hit in the last
Az innings.
Garcia Pitches Six-Hitter
Mike Garcia turned in a six
hit pitching job as the Indians
trounced the cellar dwelling
Orioles last night and got plenty
OF help from Jim Busby and AL
Rosen. who drove in three runs
apiece. Busby got his with a
home run, double and single,
while Rosen did it with a solitary
single. The blow came with two
out, the bases loaded and a 80
count in the first inning.
Frank Sullivan, a great Tiger
tanner. also turned in a six-hitter
as the Red Sox tripped Detroit.
Sullivan made his lifetime rec
ord against Detroit 3D. with the
aid of two-run homers by Dick
Gernert and Frank Malone.
The blow was Malzone's first
major league round-tripper and
he also played brilliantly at third
base. Earl Torgeson's home run
with one on provided the only
Detroit runs.
The Dodgers rocked the Cards
with four first-inning runs, high
lighted by Jackie Robinson's two
run triple, then really went to
town with homers by Roy Cam
PAMELA, Gil Hodges and Carl
Furillo in the third. Don New
combe coasted after that for his
third victory. but he coasted too
much in the ninth inning and
Glen Labine had to come to his
relief. Labine came in with two
on and none out and shut the
door effectively.
Pittsburgh's one-two punch of
Dale Long and Frank Thomas
accounted for four runs against
Cincinnati. more than enough
for Friend. Both Long and
Thomas walloped home runs
with a man on base.

BY ALEX PRESTON

/ Virginia Gov. Stanley today
was sent a sharply worded re-
quest for a complete investiga-
ton into the temporary escape OF
a maniac killer from Southwest
ern State Hospital for the Grim
inally insane.
( Commemorative Attorney
Sterling Harrison of Leesburg
who wrote the Governor, said the
overnight freedom of Maurice
Ray Fox nearly threw the south
ern end of Loudoun County into
a panic Wednesday night.
Four years ago Fox escaped
from another hospital. Western
State at Staunton. and returned
tc Loudoun where police say he
shot to death three persons, in
Guiding his father. At the time
of his recapture in 1852 he re-
pprtedly threatened the lives OF
his mother and two brothers
who live in the Arcola section OF
the county, and to "clean out
the whole community.
The escape OF Fox in 1852 LED
to reshuffling. of personnel al
the Stanton institution and tC
legislation at the 1854 General
Assembly strengthening the
hands of hospital and law en-
forcement officials in recapturine
mental patients.
/ Fox slipped away to freedom
wednesday night while attend
ing dance for patients at South
western State Hospital in Marion
where he had been committed as
a result OF the 1852 Sayings. He
was recaptured at the edge OF
Marion yesterday morning, offer.
ing slight resistance.
Police quoted him as saying he
had had a CONFUSION and coulo
not remember his whereabouts
during the night.
In his letter to Gov. Stanley
the Loudoun County prosecutor
said that if hospital officials were
Iat fault for the mans escape,
drastic action" should be taken
Mr.. Harrison sent copies of the
letter to DR.. Joseph r. Blalock,
superintendent of Southwestern,
and to the State Hospital Board.
Mr.. Harrison told reporters
there was no excuse for the ZAP
parent laxness" in maintaining
custody of known dangerously
insane persons.
Fox had been confined to the
