Senators Beginning Habit
Earning Respect Of Rivals
Kuut Rewarded
As Lemon Puts
Blust on Ford
BY BURTON HAWKINS
star stan Writer

The Senators have become
the big inning boys of baseball
and are convincing customers
that it's wise to linger when
the Washington club is trailing.
Ten times in the young season
they have produced three or
more runs in one inning, and
such explosiveneSs is winning
them more respect.
The latest demonstration OF
the Senators blasting ability
was inflicted on Whitley Ford at
Yankee Stadium yesterday when
Jim Lemon crashed a three
run homer to highlight a four
run uprising which defeated
the Yankees, 5-4, before 3,74S
fans.
This marked the fifth time
that the Senators have pro-
duced a four-run inning. On
four other occasions they have
scored three times in one in
ming. and they enjoyed a Ave
run burst against the Red Sox
on opening day.
Kaat Shows Talent
Equally as pleasing as
Lemons timely thump and an
earlier solo homer by Don
Mincher was the superb show
ing of Jim Kaat. 21-year-old
lefthander. Jim worked seven
innings and allowed only three
hits. Pedro Ramos preserved
the angular kids first major
league victory, yielding two
other hits.
Kaat gave up four runs, but
the excellence Of his pitching
isn't reflected in the score. He
was the victim of three un-
earned runs. Jim retired the
first 10 Yankees without per-
mitting ball to be hit out Of
the infield, famed four and
personally tossed out six at
first base on meek taps back
to the mound.
Jim's poiSe deserted him
temporarily in the fourth after
Gil McDougald singled with
one out and Second Baseman
Billy Gardner gummed up a
toss after fielding Mickey
Mantle'S grounder.
Error Is Costly

double-play victim, but there

Prove Rough
On Big Clubs
By the Associated Press

The Kansas City Athletics, a
gang of guys other clubs
figured they could do without,
may not be able to keep it up,
but they've been making it
tough on the big teams in the
American League race.
After eight games with the
defending champion White Sox,
Cleveland and hot-running De-
troit. the AS are tied with
Washington for third place at
500. just Ia games behind the
hrst-place Tigers.
The Athletics got there by
beating Detroit. 81, last night
on a six-hitter by ex-Tiger Ray
Herbert, a two-run single by
Harry Chit, a one-time Cub,
and a home run by ex-Yankee
Bob Cerv.
1t was the second straight
setback for the Tigers, who won
their first five. However, they
stayed a half-game ahead of
the Yankees, who were beaten
by Washington, 5-4. Baltimore
downed Boston. 8-3, in the only
other game scheduled in the
AL, the Orioles third straight
success after dropping five in a
row.
Herbert go walked only
two and struck out five while
winning his second one-run
game for the AS by blankins
the Tigers on three hits over
the last seven innings.
Detroit scored on singles by
Rocky Colavito, Chico Fernan-
dez and Lou Berberet in the
second. The AS, without a
single product of their own
farm system in the lineup, beat
southpaw Hank Aguirre ODD
in the fourth inning when
Chiti's single followed a single
by Cerv and a double by Dick
Williams. Cerv then homered
in the eighth off Bob Bruce.
Arnold Portocarrero U-O)
who managed only one COM
plete game in IA tries last
season, had a two-hit shutout
for seven innings and finished
with a Six-hitter for the
Orioles in his first 1860 start.
His only walk, Marty Keough's
single and a double play broke
up his Shutout in the eighth,
and the Red Sox scored twice
on three hits in the ninth.
For the third consecutive
game Jim Gentle drove in
three runs for the Orioles. He
was credited with one in the
first inning against Frank
sullivan ODD when he
grounded out, and then hit a
two-run single that triggered a
four-run third.

by blanking the AS, 80. at
Kansas City Tuesday night as
Bob Shaw became the first
pitcher to go the route.

Pirates Boost
Lead in Years
Longest Streak
By the Associated Press

They're a year late. but
Pittsburgh's battling Pirates
have made their slim pitching
pay of and are riding a six
game winning streak atop the
National League standings.
Last year was supposed to be
the Pirates year, after a
second-place finish in 1858. But
they lost their first five games,
never got higher than third
place and finished fourth. And
that's where they were gen.
orally figured this year.
However, Bob Skinner drove
in two runs and Vern Law won
his third without defeat in a
80 victory at Philadelphia last
night, and now the Pirates
have the longest streak of the
young season. They are full
game thead of San Francisco,
which was idle.
The Dodgers stayed within
two games of first place by
beating the Cubs, 9-4. Mil
waukee held fourth, defeating
Cincinnati, 8-5, in the only
other game scheduled in the
MI.

Skinner, one of five Pirates
batting over $50, was 2-for-2

umph at Mosccw's Bolshoi
Theater, singing the starring
role in the opera Boris Gudonov

The enthusiastic audience of

as Gar Boris. The audience
included tieless workers, mem
