BALTIMORE, April 27.-It's
getting to be standard operating
procedure for the Senator's
pitchers to drop the Orioles
George Kell into the dirt with
fast pitches inside. And they're
learning it's fruitless. for the
veteran infielder brushes the dirt
from his uniform. then proceeds
to murder the boys from down
the pike.
Kell became irritated to the
point of waving bat at Camilo
Pascual in the sixth inning here
last night when the Cuban
Highlander decked him with a
high one in close, but the win
ner in the battle was Kell. He
contributed two singles and a
two-run double and walked for
"a perfect evening as the Orioles
overcame 30 deficit to win,
4-3, before crowd of 1874.
Results to date of keeping Kell
loose with fast ones perilously
close indicate these tactics mere
ly arouse him to exceptional per-
formances. He's hitting .467
against the Senators with 7-for-
is. He hasn't been nicked yet,
but he's bruising Washington.
Senators Short Spurt
1t was Kell who set the win
ming run in motion last night
with a two-out single to left in
the eighth inning. Then Joe
Ginsberg. filling in admirably for
injured Gus Triandos, belted
long double to left center to
bring Kell around.
The Senators are providing
the knockdowns. but Kell is sup
plying the knockouts. Washing
ton spurted into a 80 lead
against Ray Moore. The Sena-
tors picked up a run in the first
inning when Pete Runnels
singled and Roy Sievers raped
a double off the leftfield wall.
They added two more in the
fourth when Neil Chrisley
walked. Jim Lemon tripled and
Lyle Luttren singled. but there
after they were helpless. Moore
restricted them to a pair Of
singles in the last five innings.
Meanwhile the Orioles got
busy They nicked Pascual for
two runs in the fourth with two
down when Carl Powis and AL
Pilarcik singled and Kell scored
both with a double to left.
Moore's Homer Ties 1t
Moore injected the tying run
in the fifth when he doomed a
home run far into the leftheld
bleachers and the Senator's were
on the defensive for the re-
lmainder of the game.
Powis slammed a triple with
one out in the sixth and after
Pilarcik famed, Pascual walked
Kell and GinSberg. Camilo
'eased out of that predicament
when Bob Hale, batting for
Willie Miranda, forced Ginsberg.
Again in the seventh Pascual
was in deep trouble when Billy
Gardner doubled with one out
and took third on a wild pitch.
Pascual struck out Bob Boyd
and emerged unharmed when
Dick Williams grounded out.
But the Kell-Ginsberg COM
bination applied the crusher in
the eighth and so the Senators
are struggling with a 81 record
and are unable to get even with
the world if they sweep the re-
manning games here today and
tomorrow.
StObbs Goes Today
Ed Yost, who twisted his wrist
sliding into second base against
the Red Sox Thursday. was out
of action last night. but NAV
return today or tomorrow. Chuck
StobbS will take the mound to-
day against Mike FornieleS, with
Ted Abernathy and Garland
Shiffiett due to fire tomorrow In
a double-header.
NOTES: Whitley Herzog made
six Of the Senator's first nine
lputouts. but none thereafter.
Outfieldef Bob Nieman of the
Orioles was late scratch when
"a virus bug hit him. Pilarcik
robbed Runnels of a possible
triple in the eighth when he
roamed into right-center for a
fancy backhand grab Of Pete's
liner.
Lemons triple was his first
,extra-base hit.
