Passing Up Sucker Pitches
Makes Star Of Throneberrv
Senators Seek
Third Straight
Behind PuscuuI
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Writer

1t has required time-the
gentleman has been hanging
around the major leagues since
l952-but Faye Throneberry
has Joined Harmon Killebrew
and Bob Allison as one of the
Senators eye-popping surprises.
Until this season Throne
berry never had batted more
than .258 since crashing the
American League with the Red
Sox. Now he's tops among the
Senators regulars. and behav-
ing as if he'll carry on nicely
from there.
II finally learned to lay of
a couple of pitches that were
getting me in trouble" Thrones
berry said last night after
seeking his sixth homer and q
single. That helped the Sem
ators defeat Boston, 6-1, be-
hind the six-hit pitching Of
Pedro Ramos before a crowd
Of 1924 at Griffith Stadium.
Two Years at .1S4
Throneberry was consistent
in two previous seasons with
the Senators, batting 1874 each
year and driving in a total Of
l9 runs. 1t was enough TO
make Manager Cookie Lava
getto shudder, along with Faye,
but Throneberry and the boss
now are beaming.
I'm letting the high. outside
fast balls and the low, inside
curves go by" Throneberry eX-
planned. "Oh, maybe I'm still
nibbling at them once in
awhile, but they don't get me
in trouble like they used to.
AS a result of being a bit more
choosy. I'm getting better
pitches to hit"
Throneberry started wearing
glasses last year to correct a
ar-sighted condition. I'm
seeing the ball real good at the
plate now" Faye said, but I
don't know what the trouble is
in the field. The ball seems to
jump at me when I get within
2 feet of it,"
Finishing Eye Test -
Faye recently made a couple
of tWo-base errors in Kansas
City by dropping fly balls and
as a result is concluding a
three-day eye examination
today. ~
Il don't know what the doc
tor will recommend" Throne-
berry said, but the way I'm
hitting now I don't know if I
want any changes made" -.
Lavagetto was reduced to
desperation when he installed
Throneberry in the lineup in
Boston May %. His rookie OF
the year in 1858, Able Pearson,
wasn't delivering, and so Cookie
turned to Faye. admitting it
was the mans last chance.
What has happened since
makes nice reading. Faye has
hit at a 1862 clip since being
installed as a regular IS games
ago. He is causing consider
able blinking among the Red
Sox, for he has appeared in

PARIS, July 81 (AP).-
The fall and winter parade
of Paris fashions officially
begins today with showings
by Ores, Patou and Cardin.
But two houses outside the
French fashion syndicate,
Bugnand and Manguin, lured
press and buyers to early
openings last night.
What they saw were slight
ly longer hemlines-a few
inches below the knee-and
normal waistlineS. Sober
colors range from brown and
beige to gray and black for
day wear.
Bob Bugnand, who makes
clothes in France for sale in
America only, laid the luxury
on thick. His day dresses and
suits are slim but not slinky.
Impressed skirt folds, caught
in by a wide belt, provide
plenty of room for walking.
Capes staged a comeback
over dresses and as a sub
stitute for suit jackets.
Sable collars, mink bosomS,
panther-lined sleeves, gold
and silver embroidery, lame,
jet beading and even feath-
cred hemlines added to the
trend.
