Continued From Page Ais

Continued From Page Al:
With one down in the ninth
Whitley Herzog singled to right
and continued to second on
Hank Bauer's tumble. Whitley
shifted to third base when Pete
Runnels popped a single to left
Coleman, who replaced Billy
Hunter at short after the latter
had been lifted for a pinch-hit-
ter, scooped up Lemons ground
er and fired to the plate. His
throw was so high that Catcher
Yogi Berra simply started to-
ward the clubhouse, disdaining
to leap for the ball as Herzog
scored.
Errors Help Yanks
Two errors gave the Yankees
two runs in the second inning
With two down Elston Howard
singled and pulled up at third
on Billy Martins double to left.
Jose Valdivielso took the relay
from the outf1eld and fired to-
ward the plate despite the fact
both runners had halted. His
throw sailed over Catcher Lou
Berberet's head and also escaped
Stone, backing up the plate.
Stone picked up the ball, then
dropped it as Howard scored.
Dean retrieved the ball again,
then unaccountably pounded the
ball in his glove a couple of
times as Martin raced across.
Bill Skowron was clipped by
a pitched ball in the fourth
inning and the Yankees lead
mounted to 80 when Howard
tripled him around.
The Senators got 'em all back
in the same inning. Herb Plews
tripled with two out and Turley
walked Ernie Oravetz and Ber-
beret to fill the bases. Valdivielso
came through with a triple to
center, chasing Turley and tying
the game.
Byerly Ends Threat
Byrne held the Senators hitless
until the ninth, but meanwhile
the Yankees were viewing one of
Stones more commendable ef-
forts. When Dean weakened in
the eighth. issuing a walk to
Mickey Mantle and a single to
Yogi Berra that sent Mantle to
third with none out, Byerly took
over.
He did a job. Skowron's
grounder to Ed Yost led to a run
down of Mantle. Plews made a
brilliant stab of Pinch-hitter Enos
Slaughter's smash to his left and
forced Skowron at second base.
Then Valdivielso grabbed Martins
Igrounder and Tipped to Plews at
second for another force play.
The Yankees threatened in the
ninth when Irv Noren batted for
Hunter and singled. Byrne sacri-
feed Pinch-runner Tommy Car
roll. but after Bauer flied out,
Carroll was picked off second
base by Berberet.
NOTES: The Senators set a
club record by striking out seven
times, lifting their season total
to 724. !. The old mark of TIC
was set by the 1854 Senators. s
If Lemon strikes tout Is more
times he will eclipse the major
league record of 1874 established
by Vince DiMaggio Of the Boston
Braves in 1888.
WaShington's home attendance
now is 408,363. about 1900 shy

six per cent of their customers

Yankees played here. Mantle
got only one hit in the three
games, his f1rSt-game homer of
Camilo Pascual. Yesterday
he walked twice, flied out and
struck out.
RunnelS made his best play of
the season in the third inning
when he left his feet in a head
long sprawl to stab Berra's
Igrounder. then tipped to Stone
at first base for the out. The
Senators now have won one more
game than they did last year.
