Fine Effort
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staff Writer


NEW YORK, Aug. 10
Whitley Ford'S masterful three
hit pitching, at a time when
the Yankees were wondering if
any excellent efforts were left
in their faltering staff. enabled
New York to nip the Senators,
10. today before an Old Tim
ers' Day crowd of 45,030.
The victory enabled the Yam
KEGS to hold first place by a
margin of four points over the
Orioles, who won a night game
from Boston, 81.
tors bothered Ford.
Ford. who had a no-hitter
going for 52s innings, survived
ninth-inning threat by the
Senators after Bob Allison
opened with smash to leftfeld
which bounded into the box
seats for a ground-rule double.
Reno Bertoia fouled off a
pitch swinging away, fouled off
another while attempting a
sacrifice bunt, then fouled out
to Third Baseman CletiS Boyer.
Ford walked dangerous Harmon
Killebrew, but Jim Lemon went
down swinging for the third
time and Billy Gardner
grounded out to First Baseman
Bill Skowron.
MariS' Triple Wins
The Yankees, who collected
only five hits off Don Lee and
Ray Moore, produced the win
ming run in the seventh inning
after Roger Maris opened with
a triple to center. The ball
barely skipped past the out
stretched glove of Centerfelder
Pete Whisenant, trying to hold
the hit to a single, and rolled
to the wall.
Mickey Mantle then sent a
long fly to Allison in right. and
Maris easily beat Bob's perfect
peg to the plate.
Allison accounted for two OF
the Senators three hits. Ford
faced the minimum II batters
before he walked Lee with two
out IN the sixth inning.
Allison then ripped a single
TO right for the first hit off
Whitley, sending Lee to third.
That left it up to Bertoia, who
lifted a pop fly to Shortstop
Tony Kubek.
Only Two Threats
Those threats in the sixth
and ninth innings were the
only occasions when the Sena-
tors bothered Ford.
The only Senator to reach
base in the first five innings
was Jose Valdivielso, who
walked and promptly was
picked off first base by Ford.
Gardner beat out a trickler
with two out in the seventh
inning for the Senator's second
hit, but Earl Battey fouled to
Skowron.
Whlsenant opened the eighth
by drawing a walk, but Valdi-
vielso flied out and Elmer Valo.
swinging for Lee, struck out as
Whisenant went out trying to
steal.
Lees fine performance was
his fourth straight excellent eff
fort in a starting role, none Of
which he has won. Moore
picked up 81 and 81 wins
in relief in two of Lees last
three previous starts, and Ray
lost another, 80. Today's loss
left Don with 5-4 record.
Lee didn't permit a Yankee
to get beyond first base until
Maris tripled. He allowed four
hits. walked only one and
struck out two in seven innings,
with Moore holding the Yam
KEGS in the eighth after Bobby
Richardson scratched a single.
