Lee Tonight
In Baltimore

Don Lee, plucked from the
minors for $25, 900 in the draft
last December, will get a
chance to make that invest
ment look attractive tonight
when he opposes the Orioles in
the rubber game. He'll be
stacked against Steve Barber,
2l-year-old Takoma Park, Nd,
lefthander who puts the ac-
cent on speed.
Barber. a product Of Mont
gomery Blair High, will be
making his first major league
appearance. His minor league
record during three years in
the Orioles system was an un-
inspiring 22-32, but all Balti-
more scouts recommended him
highly and in exhibition games
this spring he justified their
confidence.
Barber worked 1924 innings
in exhibitions and displayed a
1.48 earned-run average. He had
one bad inning against the
Tigers, who scored IL unearned
runs against him, but the lack
OF control which plagued him
IN the minors wasn't evident.
-Four singles. including Gen.
tiles two-run blow, a walk and
a wild pitch got Kemmerer of
to a sour start in the first inn
ing last night.
Pappas, who beat the Sem
ators five time in as many
chances last year, was nailed
for three runs in the second
Allison walked. Don Minchel
doubled and Console singled to
provide two runs. The third
run materialized after Kem-
merer walked and Gardner
doubled to center.
Throneberry's double and Al
l1Son's single pried the tying
run from Pappas in the third
and Killebrew rammed his first
homer into the leftfield seats
with two out in the fifth to lift
the Senators in front, 5-4.
Kemmerer KayOed
Kemmerer couldn't stand
prosperity. He walked Wood
ling to start the last of the
sixth and Triandos pumped a
double to left. Robinson famed,
but Gentle ripped a single to
right to score both runners.
Gentle continued to second
when Mincher bobbled an at
tempted cutoff. Ron Hansen
welcomed Clevenger to the
game with a single that got
Gentle across.
Killebrew'S timely single In
the seventh tied the score at
J TT and Console got the win
J ming run in motion against
Coleman with one out in the
eighth. He clubbed a triple to
center and Jim Lemon, batting
for Clevenger, was purposely
passed.
Then the Senators got lucky
Gardner tried to push a bunt
: toward second base and was
t1abbergaSted and happy with
the reSult-a looper over Sec
