pitching last night in beating
the Brooklyn Dodgers. To, at
Miami and the young Cubans
composure under pressure will
rank as one of the more pleasant
developments of the Senators
spring training if he maintains
lit.
The swift highlander went
the distance against Brooklyn.

hits. but even more encouraging
to Manager Chuck Dresser was
the fact that Pascual had ample
excuse for erupting in the early
innings and controlled Ms Latin

The Senators had watched
Emmett Kelly, famed circus
clown now employed by the
Dodgers, put on a show before
the game and for awhile it APP

run him out of a job. They were
SO bad the 2,059 customers were
booing their shoddy fielding. but
PaScual survived it nicely and
hung on to join Johnny Klipp-
stein of the Reds as a route
going hurler.
Klippstein went nine innings
against Detroit yesterday.
Shortstop Jerry Snyder, at
tempting to throw the soreness
out of his arm and having little
success. and Catcher Lou Ber-
beret were the chief culprits in
placing Pascual in difficulty. In
the first inning Berberet dropped
a relay to the plate. enabling
Junior Gillian to score from
first base on a hit-and-run play
after Roy Campanella singled.

Jim Gentle singled in the Sec

boro fashioned 20 lead for the
Dodgers in the fourth. Pascual
has been known to pop a gasket
after being dubbed hard two or
three times. but he extricated
himself from that predicament
by strikin govt thinner and get
ting Gray on a grounder.
I Pascual was ready for the
cleaners again in the fifth when
he hit Sandy Amoros. issued a
single to Gillian and walked
Duke Snider to fill the bases, but
a Campanella grounder to Yost
produced a double play.
Dresser has mapped a program
Of steady work for Pascual, and
the 23-year-old may thrive on it..
Chuck is intent on getting his
starters going the route quickly
and Pascuals performance
against the National League
champions stacks up as heart
ening.
Rally in Fifth
Restricted to two hits in four
innings by Newcombe. the Sem
ators dashed Karl Spooner and
Don Elston for five runs in the
fifth. The INGREDIENTS we're
