Boston Twin Bill
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stah Writer

The astonishing Baltimore
Orioles mingle with the less
startling Senators at Griffith
Stadium tonight in the opener
of a four-game checkerboard
series, and it's with dread that
Washington meets ungentle
Jim Gentle again.
A 500 hitter in five games
against the Senators, Gentle
has blasted Washington pitch
ing for two home runs and two
doubles, clubbing across II
runs in the process.
Gentle has accumulated 20
runs batted in, but the pace
setter among the league lead
ers in that department now is
Ron Hansen, Baltimore's young
shortstop, who has compiled 80.
The Orioles consistently ex-
cellent pitching has been chiefly
responsible for their first-place
status, however. The Senators
bump into it at a time when
they are showing signs of
emerging from a protracted
slump.
< Homers for Senator's
The Senators rammed five
home runs, including a grand
slam and a solo smash by Billy
Gardner, at Boston yesterday
as they escaped from the cellar
by blasting the Red Sox, 8-3
and 81. The hectic second
game, won by Pedro Ramos in
relief, went 10 innings and the
Senators survived atrocious
umpiring and their own field
ing deficiencies to win it.
Cookie Lavagetto was forced
to employ six pitchers in the
second game and he's thin in
the hurting department enter
ing the series with the Orioles.

Mrs. Henrietta McCrary,

Ohio Department of Health,
questioning the legality Of ap-
pOintmentS of members Of
the Geauga board by the Adj
visOry Council when there
was lack of a quorum.
DR.. William F. Hartland,
Geauga health commissioner
revealed today a copy of the
reply to Mrs. McCrary he
had received.
The reply letter was sign
ed by George C'ompson, chief
Of the legal division. He said:
We must take exception to
your conclusion that defects
in the procedural appoint
ment Of the board Of health,
or any members Of such bo-
ard. results in a board with
out authority and consequent
ly acts Of such board are void.
It appears to US that the
board of health of Geauga Co.
unity is a de facto board and
acting under color Of autho-
rity, whose act must be TAX
en- as valid "
Compson noted a similar
opinion by the Ohio attorney
general this year. A copy Of
the reply was also received
by Prosecutor James Dins-

ested in the McCrary letter.
