Ramos Out to Stop
Streaking Red Sox
Pot o. Gold Also
On Griffs' Card
Here Tonight
BY BURTON HAWKINS

It's pot o. gold night at Crit
fifth Stadium tonight and after
that cash-and-carry importation
from the minors is disposed of
before the game the Senators
would relish banking a victory.
They came home recently feel
ing rather spry with six wins in
seven games but since have lost
three in a row.
The extra-curricula activity is
supposed to be worth q chuckle
and certainly will be a pleasur-
able sensation for the lucky
ticketholder who will have an
opportunity to take home as
much coin as he can carry in a
bank sack from the mound to
the nearest box seat.
The game has been moved
back to 8:15. Those fans who
deposit stubs at the gate by 1850
will be eligible to have a ticket
drawn. The record so far is
$1.050 but officials indicate there
will be more money carried of
tonight, with the possibility that
paper money will be included.
If a woman or child has the
lucky stub, a male escort may be
selected for the heavy work.
Ramos Opposes Sisler
When that merriment is COM
pleted, Pedro Ramos will at
tempt to snap the Senators from
their gloomy mood when he
starts against Boston's Dave
Sisler.
Chuck Stobbs pitched a credit
able game last night, allowing
nine hits in a route-going Job,
but Ted Williams. Sammy White
and Dick Gernert socked him for
solo homers to give the Red Sox
Ia 30 triumph and their ninth
victory in 10 games.
Williams, accorded a mixed
reception of boos and cheers by
the crowd of last. lofted his 14th
homer into the Senators bullpen
in the first inning, but Washing
ton tied it up promptly when
Whitley Herzog walked and Pete
Runnels doubled him across.
Tom Brewer, who posted his
18th win. was on the wrong end
of 2-1 score in the sixth when
Jim Lemon rammed his 18th
homer into the leftfleld seats, but
White tied the score in the sew
Ienth with his smash into the CEN
terf1eld bleachers.
Gernert's Blast Decides 1t
With two down and none on
in the eighth, Gernert doomed
his homer over the new leftf1eld
fence to provide the decisive blow.
The Senators had a shot at
collecting several runs in the
fourth when they loaded the
bases with one out as Clint
Courtney singled. Lemon doubled
and Herb Plews walked, but Lou
Berberet batted for Tony Roig
and hit into a double play.
They had another opportunity
with one down in the eighth
after Roy Sievers walked. Lemon
singled off Shortstop Don Bud
din's glove for his third hit.
That sent Ramos. running for
Sievers, to third but Plews
watched a third strike and
Ernie Oravetz. batting for Jose
Valdivielso. lined to Billy Good
man at second base.
NOTES-About 1000 bottles of
beer were sold in the new suds
section in leftfield. Lemons
homer, which scattered the fans
in the new beer garden, was the
Senators Both, setting a club
record. Ed Yost and Ramos
were presented certificates en-
fitting them to have their auto
mobiles air conditioned.
They were the hottest Senators
in June and July, it seems, with
Yost batting in the most runs
and Ramos winning the most
games in that period.
Buddin and Brewer each got
two of Boston's nine hits, the
Senators got eight. The
Red Sox will be here tomorrow
for a Q o'clock game, the last
here before the Senators journey
to Baltimore and Boston.
