SENATORS

pressive performance yesterday
is tempered by the recollection
that he also struck out 1876 times
with Chattanooga last season
Dresser likes his ability to blast
them into the next county,
though, and will give him a shot
at a regular job.
Equally as pleasing as the hit
ting of Lemon and FITZGERALD
was the SEVENTH pitching of
Chuck Stobbs, who in the last
two years has won five games
three of them at the expense of
the Yankees. With his polished
job yesterday he doubtless won
an assignment against the YAM
KEGS Tuesday in New York.
Hope to Fatten on Orioles
It's here. against the Orioles,
that the Senators hope to get
fat. Washington's hitters are
tuned up. as six home runs in
the three games with the Yam
KEGS would indicate.
Cal Griffth's new fence has
figured in six Of the 10 home
runs belted in Washington so
far. with the Senators holding a
81 margin. FITZGERALD parked
McDermott pitch into the
regular leftf1eld bleachers yester-
day for the only Washington
home run that would have been
a homer under any circum-
stances.
Olson (twice), Dick Tettel-
bach, Pete Runnels and Lemon
have found the range on the new
seats or the wire screen in front
OF the visiting bullpen. Yogi
Berra is the only opposition hit
ter to thump one into the new
seats, with Mickey Mantle crash
ing two out of the lot and Elston
Howard lofting one into the
visiting bullpen.
Score Two in First
The Senators obtained two
quick runs from McDermott in
the first inning after Ed Yost
walked and Third Baseman Andy
Carey threw wild into rightfield
trying to force him after fielding
Tettelbach's grounder. Olson
sacrificed and Sievers singled to
left. scoring both runners.
Washington's lead mounted to
40 in the fourth when Lemon
and Fitzgerald smashed their
homers. The Yankees rebound
ed with two runs in the fifth
when Howard singled. Carey
doubled and Lou Skizas popped
a pinch single to right scoring
both.
A walk to Yost. Olson's single
and Lemons ground rule double
into the Washington bullpen got
the Senators a run off Tommy
Byrne in the fifth. They sud-
denly were presented two more
runs in the same inning when
Rightfielder Hank Bauer
dropped Snyder's fly. Howard's
homer gave the Yankees their
last run in the seventh.
Bauer's two errors yesterday
were the first two miscues he's
committed in one game since
June %. 1852.
The 33-year-old ex-Marine
erred only twice over a complete
season in both 1854 and 1853
He had five errors last season
and four in SO.
NOTES: New York pitchers
gave UP IL bases on balls in the
series and eight of them were
awarded to you guessed it,
Yost. :. Ed officially is O-for-5
but he has been to the plate Il
times and has reached first base
10 times. twice on errors.
Some of the Yankees compiled
fancy averages Z. Bill Skowror
left as a .538 hitter. while Berrs
batted 500, Howard .428 anC
Jerry Lumpe 400 Olsor
sparks those Senators who have
seen more than slight service
with his 636 mark.
Mantle. who had everybody
dealing strictly in superlative,
after his two mighty homer,
opening day. couldn't get a bal
out Of the infleld yesterday. HI
struck out, grounded out, popped
out and fouled out.
