Pascua| Seeking Revenge
Against Yankees Tonight
Lost 3-Hitter
In Last Start:
Mantle Drills
By BURTON HAWKINS


a heady three hitter against the
Yankees in his last start for the
Senators but was victimized by
Joe Collins two-run eighth in
ming homer in 80 loss, will
strive for revenge and a fifth
victory tonight when he faces
the Yankees at Griffith Stadium.
Rip Coleman or Maury McDer-
mott will pitch for the Yankees,
who polished of the Senators,
8-4. last night without any help
from Mickey Mantle, sidelined
with a knee injury and unlikely
to play tonight. A crowd of
12,513. largest here since open
ing day, saw the loosely played
game.
Mantle took only a few swings
in batting practice and was
swinging strictly with his arms,
not daring to pivot. It's con-
ceivable that he could pinch
hit tonight if needed and he
may play a few innings tomor-
row in the series windup if
Manager Casey Stengel is in a
mood to permit him to test his
knee, but his availability for the
All-Star game is clouded.
Even though he wasn't pivot
ing, Mickey hit one ball that
sailed foul over the rightf1eld
stands. He lofted another over
the rightfield wall and still an
other into the leftfleld bleachers.
The Senators gave the Yam
KEGS a tidy tussle for six innings
last night, then came apart
after New York stuck its nose
in front in the seventh.
Tied in Second
Ed YoSt banged a homer into
the leftfield stands off Bob Tur-
ley leading off in the first inning
and the Senators added another
run in the same inning after
Jerry Coleman bobbled Whitley
Herzog'S grounder. A walk to
Pete Runnels and Clint Court
ney's single got Whitley around.
That advantage vanished rap
idly. Elston Howard singled to
start the second inning and Andy
Carey laced a triple to right,
scoring him. Coleman's fly to
Jim Lemon enabled Carey to
score.
Wiesler braced to hold the
Yankees to four hits in the first
six innings. but Howard and
Carey again immersed him in
trouble in the seventh with sin
giles. Coleman famed, but the
runners advanced when Turley
grounded out and both scored
on Gil McDougald's sharp single
through the box.
The score mounted to To in
the eighth after Hank Bauer
welcomed Bob Chakales with a
single. Yogi Berra and Bill
Skowron walked to fill the bases.
but Howard tapped back to
Chakales. Bob's throw to the
plate forced Bauer. but Court
neyS throw to first clipped How
ard on the back, enabling Berra
to tally. Skowron also scored
and Howard went to third when
Jim Lemons return throw to the
plate was wide. Carey then
scored Howard with a fly to
Lemon.
Threaten in Ninth
With one out in the ninth the
Senators gave New York a few
uneasy moments when Tony Roig
walked and Lou Berberet and
Herb Plews singled to fill the
bases. YoSt'S fly to left got Roig
home before Herzog walked to
reload the bases.
That brought on Tommy Byrne
to oppose Runnels, who walked.
forcing across Pinch runner
Dean Stone. Tom Morgan came
along to dispose of Roy Sievers
on grounder to Carey.
NOTES: RunnelS singled in
the eighth inning to run his hit
ting streak to Is games.
Courtney was fined 500 and
Dresser was clipped for $50 by
Will Harridge, American League
president, as the result of their
actions in the second game of a
rain-curtailed second game with
Baltimore Sunday.
The Northern Virginia chapter
of the Virginia Association of
Surveyors presented Mantle with
Sl25 gold-plated tape measure
before the game. j.. Just in case
Mickey wants to get technical
about some of those soaring swats
of his.
Turkeys victory leveled his
major league record at 81 wins.
81 losses. Runnels behaved
like a slick first baseman in the
sixth inning when he darted to
his right to spear Yogi Berra's
grounder. then threw to Wiesler
at first base for the out.
