fora respectable showing by
the Senators. 1t all was damned
into the first game. when Camilo
Pascual and Bud Byerly held the
Yankees to six hits and Jim
Lemon unloaded a two run
homer. but there we're hearten-
ing aspects. too. when the Sen
ators were clobbered in the
second game.
The crowd mainly still was
with the Senator's when they
were trailing. TO. in the fourth
inning Of the second game. Roy
Sievers singled with one out
and when Lemon hit into a
double play, many silently head
led for the exits. But when II
was 30 in the seventh and
Lemon doubled to left there
were cheers-not jeers-for the
Senators third hit of Bobby
|Shantz. who held them to 1--WE
and won his fifth decision.
The recent smuggling of Sievers
and Lemon has given fans hope
that the club can get. back into
contests which seemingly are lost
causes. Sievers and Lemon have
been riding EN- out Of the park
and the customers 60 for that
sort Of thing.
The size Of the crowd proves
that Washington will support a
team with q chance. It required
only a three-game winning
streak to spur q lot of people
into heading for the ball PARK.
Among those in the crowd was
Vice President Nixon.
Kemmerer Faces Brewer
1t will be Russ Kemmerer
against Boston's Tom Brewer In
tonight's game. The Red Sox
will be here for single games to-
morrow and Sunday afternoons.
Pascual. who had been whipped
10 times by the Yankees,
achieved the FIRST victory Of his
career against them although he
wasn't around at the finish. He
was clipped on the right arm by
an AL Cicotte liner in the sixth
inning and was forced to depart
after yielding only two hits.
X-rays today showed that
Pascual escaped with only a
bruised muscle. He win not be
allowe dto throw for a couple Of
days and probably win miss one
starting turn.
Shortstop Jerry Coleman gave
the Senators two runs in the
third inning by cumming up two
successive double play srounders
after Ed Yost singled. He bob
bled Herb Plews' grounder. then
fielded Sievers' grounder but
