NEW YORK, May 2S.-
Camilo PaScual, who ruffled
the normally calm Pete Run
nels last night with a head
high swift pitch inside, has no
intention of deviating from that
pattern in the future against
anybody.
The Senator's crack right
handler, who famed Is Red
Sox last night at Griffith Sta
dium but lost a 4-3 decision
before 5,208 fans, said, II
always pitch like that and I
always will pitch like that"
Pascual was referring to the
technique of many good pitch
ers in brushing back hitters
who dig in against them. Il
no try to hit him." Camilo said,
But I brush him back. I'm
going to keep on brushing
everybody back"
Runnels touched of a mob
scene after taking third
strike in the fifth inning at a
time when the Red Sox were
leading, 20. He called Pascual
an unprintable so-and-so,
then charged toward the mound
after walking about 20 feet
toward the dugout.
No Damage Done
PaScual and Runnels never
met. Coach Bob Swift of the
Senators hastened to the scene
and wrestled Pascual to the
ground to prevent him from
being hurt or elected from the
game. There was much milling
around, but no punches were
landed although most players
from both teams quickly ccr-
verged at the hub of action
between third base and the
plate.
In the Scuffling. PaScual re-
ceived a slight spike wound
atop his right foot. The Sem
ators generally were more
bruised by the pitching of Tom
Brewer. who held them to eight
hits in registering a third win
while inf1icting a fourth loss on
Pascual. Camilo has lost three
times to the Red Sox.
"Pascual is one of the closest
friends I've got. Runnels said,
but I lost my head and called
him a name. When you're 60
ing bad you'll try anything, l
guess. don't like pitchers
throwing at my head. With his
stuff Pascual doesn't have to
throw at anybody"
Team Doing Poorly
Runnels. an ex-senator who
has several friends on the
Washington team, explained his
reference to going bad meant
the team. not himself. Pete is
a 800 hitter but the Red Sox
had lost II Of IL games before
winning last night. There's
talk that Manager Bill Jurges
will be fired at any hour and
things generally haven't been
pleasant.
Strained feelings between
the teams aren't likely to i'm
prove. Some Senators recall
with rancor the fact that
Washington'S Earl Battey was
skulled by Boston's Tom Stur-
divant earlier in the season.
Battey dismissed the incident
as part of the game but some
Of his teammates are less
charitable.
So there could be further
action when the Senators in
wade Boston Tuesday night for
the opener of a four-game Sc
rieS. The Senators have more
immediate problems, opening a
four-game set with the YAM
KEGS here tonight with Jim
Kaat due to take the mound
against Jim Coates.
Hal WoodeShick will oppose
Bob Turley in tomorrow's
game, with Pedro Ramos and
Chuck Stobbs due to fire in
Mondays double header.
Power Is Missing
Manager Cookie Lavagetto
would like to see the Senators
show some punch at the plate.
Their three runs last night
were batted across by pinch
hitterS. while the threatening
trio of Bob Allison, Harmon
Killebrew and Bob Lemon were
delivering two singles among
them.
Cookie has been waiting
patiently for some of the more
formidable members of his cast
to click, but he now is begin
