when Andy Carey and Joe Cole

lofted his sixth homer into the

Some slight satisfaction fell to
the Senators in the fourth when
they scored a run and Runnels

to left and Sievers walked, but
Jim Lemon hit into a double

FitzGerald'S single scored Pete.

That brought on Sturdivant, who
disposed of Olson and Valdy on

Siebern dropped his fly to short

Mantle Works Out
Manager Casey Stengel Of the
Yankees tentatively planned to
start Mickey Mantle in center
field but withheld the smuggling
centerflelder after Mantle tested
his damaged right knee running
in the outfield prior to the game.
Stengel left spot open in his
batting order for Mickey and ex-
planned. We'll see what happens
when he runs. II he thinks he's
all right. and l think he's all

asked Stengel after his workout.
Well. l haven't got you in
there StenpPl renlipd

Mickey said. But l think you're
right. l don't believe I'm quite

Mantle took batting practice
and hit one ball in the new seats
in left-centef, in addition to
several line drives.
Collins replaced Mantle.
Whether Mickey will play in
the final game of the series with
the Senators today. or in the

in doubt.

Zereqo's Latest

Andrea Pietro Zerega is hav-
ing a one-man show of recent
work at The Franz Bader Gal
lery, l705 G Street, through
next Saturday, his first solo in
several years. Nearly all Of
the 20 paintings are in the
generally two-dimensional, an
gular style with fiat color areas
IN which he has been working
the last few years. He uses
all obvious balance of light
colored forms on darker
grounds. contrasted with dark
forms on lighter grounds, in
simple schemes of strong COL
ors, black and white. Many of
the paintings have the effect
OF modern poster designs.
Mi Zerega uses this tech
nlque on still life. LANDSCAPES

Jects. IL seems to me more
effective III the first two theme
classes. Portraits appear to be
more OF types than of indi-
vlduals. And religious sub

stractions, lose their warmth
and significance as inspira-
tional works.
A native of Italy, Mr.. Zerega
has been a Washington artist

list of awards. exhibitions in
which he has participated. and
other biographical data, is

nearly a year. Mr.. Dora
planned it and supervised It's
execution. aided by his secre-
tary, Mary Sayre Haverstock,
in research and manuscript
preparation. The exhibition
comprises more than 80 works,
"a paintings and 80 prints,
from % outstanding museums
from New York to California
Including the Phillips GAL
lery), dealers galleries and
private collectors. Nine of the
paintings, late antic
French, belong to the Cor
coran's w. A. Clark collection.
Effective Display
Gudmund Vigtel, admins
trative assistant, designed an
effective installation, involv-
ing alcoves with painted walls
or fabric hangings. The late
romantics, for instance, are
hung on charcoal satin; Gus
tave Moreau's six paintings,
brilliant in colors, are seen
against opulent, changeable
plum wine taffeta; Puvis de
Chavanne's group, in cool,
high-keyed colors, against q
light gray. Adding greatly to
the interest of the show is the
admirable labelling. Each
group. and many individual
works. are presented with in
formative data.
From the foregoing it will be
seen that this exhibition should
be viewed slowly, not visited as
just another display Of paint
ings and prints. Anyone who
fails to look at the pictures in
conjunction with the labels,
and also the catalogue text,
will miss its significance and
fascination.
