single to Triandos for two more
runs in the third, while Bobby
Adams triple and Smiths double
produced another run in the
fourth.
Sievers HOmerS Twice
Roy Sievers, who had slammed
a two-run homer in the first
game, contributed another after
Yost walked in the first inning
of the second game. Karl Olson
doomed another homer in the
fourth with none aboard to slice
the Senator's deficit to one run.
Both drives landed in the newly
installed seats in leftfield.
The first game was a battle of
homers. with Smith. Garner and
Tito Francona clouting them for
the Orioles and Sievers and Jim
Lemon connecting for Washing
ton. Both of the Senator's
homers were rocketed high into
the regular leftfield bleachers.
Baltimore clipped Chuck
Stobbs for two runs in the fourth
after the lefthander had retired
10 batters in order. A double by
Jim Dyck and walks to Philley
and Jim Pyburn filled the bases.
Gardner got two runs across
with a single to left.
Pete Runnels' single and
Sievers' blast tied the score, but
Smith nudged the Orioles into a
30 lead in the fifth with a
homer into the centerfield seats.
Orioles Erase Lead
Lemon homered in the sixth to
tie the score and the Senators
picked up two more runs in the
inning off winner Ray Moore.

judged Lou Berberet'S fly to left
into a double. Sacrifice flies by
Oravetz and Stobbs got them
around.
Gardner opened the seventh
with a homer and when Willie
Miranda singled with one down,
Stobbs was yanked. Connie
Grob. who sparkled in three pre-
vious appearances, had nothing
Pinch-hitter Bob Boyd WEI
coined him with a triple to score
Miranda and tie the count at
SIS. Francona later batted for
Dyck and socked a homer into
the Senators bullpen to climax
the four-run uprising.
The Orioles made it 8-5 in
the ninth after Tex Clevenger
walked a pair. Bunky Stewart
came along to walk two more
and force across a run.
Washington made a feeble
gesture in the ninth when Tet-
telbach singled and Gardner
bobbled Runnels' grounder. Sic
vers fouled out and Lemon flied
TO short right before Olson
singled to score Tettlebach.
Berberet's trickler to Triandos
at first base was the crusher.

former Senator's pitcher who
retired after the 1853 season to
join a shoe firm. has been re-
stored to the active list by the
club. which has asked waivers
on him. If unclaimed by to-
day. Walter will be free to shop
for a job. Now 35, Masterson
has been working out for two
weeks and says there's still zip
on his fast one.
When Pyburn, former Auburn
end, crashed into Berberet, for
mer Santa Clara guard, trying
to score in the eighth inning of
the opener, he learned the Sem
ators' catcher is tough to bulge
Pyburn came in standing
up in an effort to dislodge the
ball, but Jim finished up on his
back as Berberet gave him an
emphatic jolt.
