teams in the expansion, and he has treated
them with honesty, respect and the kind
ness of a big brother.
Their reaction has been magnificent.
To man, they would do almost anything
for their manager. Willie Tasby will draw
the line at playing during an electrical
storm, but this is a real fear with Willie,
as it is with many people. There are some
managers who would lower the boom on
Willie for his refusal to tempt the elements.
Not Vernon. "He can't help it," Vernon
says.
"He's the greatest manager there is"
Tasby says in return. 'He has that air
about him that makes guy want to win
for him. I've never seen bunch of guys
on team pull for each other like this one.
Even the coaches get excited. You do
something good, like hit home run, and
you come into the dressing room after the
game and it's like those guys at the Naval
Academy getting married You have to go
through a whole line of handshakeS."
"THE THING ABOUT VERNON" says
John Klippstein, "is that when we lose a
couple, ne doesn't get all excited about 1t.
The morale is real high. And that's a
definite factor.
"Any club in any sport that goes out on
the field thinking it's going to win is tough
to beat. This club has that attitude"
Perhaps the most incredible thing
about the entire story is the Senator's posi-
ton in relation to the team they replaced

Senators Need
Win Tonightto
Tie for Fourth
By BILL FUCHS
Star Staff Writer

BALTIMORE, June 13..The
Senators open a three-game Sc
ries with the Orioles here to-
night, hopeful of overcoming
whatever hocus-pocus the Balti-
m dreams have been using
against them.
The Orioles supposedly have
been disappointing to their fol-
lowers this season, but the
Senators haven't benefited.
They are 0-5 against Balti-
more. The Oriole pitchers have
Limited the Senators to seven
runs and 26 hits in those five
encounters. Baltimore, on the
other hand. has scored 27 runs
and totaled A hits against the
Senators.
ThereIl never be a better
time to snap the jinx, for a
victory tonight would give the
Washington club a tie with
Baltimore for fourth place.
Burnside Gets Call
Manager Mickey Vernon
named Pete Burnside, only
Southpaw on the staff, to oppose
the Orioles in the opener. The
last time the handsome Dart
mouth grad started, last We'd
nesday against Cleveland, he
chalked UP two outs in the
first inning and then walked
the next four batters. But he
came back to pitch two shut
out innings of relief Saturday
against the White Sox.
Pete has a IA record to
show for the season. His lone
victory was over the Yankees,
whom he held to one run on
five hits through seven innings.
Jack Fisher (2-D is sched-
uled to pitch for the Orioles
and that's fine with the Sena-
tors. They haven't faced
Fisher yet. They have seen
Dick Hall, Chuck Estrada, Milt
Pappas, Billy Hoeft, Skinny
Brown and Relief Star Hoyt
Wilhelm (three times) and
none of these proved easy.
Hall pitched a two-hitter
against the Senators; Estrada
and Wilhelm combined on a
four-hitter, Pappas threw a
six-hitter, Hoeft and wilhelm
collaborated on a five-hitter.
Enjoy Day Off
In their last game with the
Orioles. the Senators got to
Brown for nine hits and al
most came through with an
other of their flash finishes.
Jim Gentle had poked a two
run homer in the eighth inning
to give the Orioles a Al lead,
but in the Washington ninth
Jim King duplicated that feat
and the Senators put the win
ming run on second with two
out. Wilhelm came in to get
the last batter.
One Of the losses to the ORR
oles still gives Sid Hudson,
Washington pitching coach,
bad dreams. The Senators led,
81, with two outs in the Balti-
more eighth. But Starter Tom
Sturdivant walked two batters,
Reliever Dave Sisler walked
three more and Marty Kutyna
walked another to present the
FOrioles with three gift runs and
a Az victory.
The Senators enjoyed a day
off yesterday. They needed it
after playing five long games
over the week end.

Marshall Pleased
George Marshall, president of
the Redskins, said the club was
delighted to get this contract"
Marshall said the Redskins
wanted to make a preseason
appearance at home, but were
stymied by the proper sponsor
ship and the lack of sufficient
seats at Griffith Stadium. The
new stadium, with $4,000 per-
manent seats for baseball,
eliminates the seating problem,
and Almas Temple, apparently,
the other.

lenge. If this heat should con-
tinue, and dry them out some,
it's going to be impossible"
Increased speed of the putt
ing surface, according to Ros-
burg, won't be as significant
in a heat wave as would the
fact that already-trying iron
shots would have even less
chance of sticking on the
green.
As tailor-made by golf archi-
tect Robert Trent Jones, Oak
land Hills has bundles of fair
way traps spotted just about
where most of the top hitters
usually drive. To avoid them,
the cautious will have to play
short-leaving themselves long
second shots to most of the
par 4 holes.
Greens Heavily Trapped
Thanks to Jones' digging,
many of the greens are heavily
trapped in front, side and back.
The reluctant conclusion is
that a golfer has to hit full to
the green on his approach to
avoid the front sand, yet not
too full or he'll wind up in a
trap beyond. 1t goes without
saying that a rocketing golf
ball stops better on a soft green
than one that has been baked
dry by a 90-degree sun.
While Rosburg was analyz-
ing, Palmer hustled back here
after a couple days off for
exhibitions and other appear
ances and shot a warmup ga
score matched by former PGA
champion Doug Ford, who
beat Arnie in the Sudden-death
playoff of the Speedway 500
tournament at Indianapolis two
weeks back.
Gary Player, the South
African who won the Masters
title when Palmer blew to a s
on the last hole at Augusta,
has been looking at the course
from all angles-playing as
many as four balls on some
holes.
He and his caddy have been
having a memory game now
and then.
On one hole, what seemed to
be a logical 7-iron approach
shot got Gary in trouble. He
hit another with the same re-
suit. The rest of the way down
the fairway, Player had his
caddy reciting to him:
"I must not hit a 7-iron on
this hole; I must not hit a z
iron on this hole; must not,
ETC."

New York City's Inwooc
Canoe Club emerged from 6
maze of aquatic confusion tc
defeat the strong Washington
contigent in yesterdays races
for the Junior National Canoe
ing Championships. enioI
races will be held today.
Protests, jumbled starts, and
a heavy downpour made for
general chaos on the 1000
meter course above the new
Water Sports Center on the
Potomac.
The first event was won by
Dennis Van Valgenburgh, a 16-
year-old from Arlington. The
Yorktown High School junior
carrying the colors of the
Washington Canoe Club, took
a close first by beating Jim
O'Rourke jr.. of Yonkers, by
less than boat-length.
However, in the second event,
the tandem kayaks, the In
wood crews placed first and
third.
In the Canadian fours, a
combo from the Washington
Canoe Club shot away from a
confused start. and, stroked by
Van Valkenburgh, edged out
the Inwood outfit.
In the next tive races, pad
dlers from Niles. Mich, took
over. Donald Dodge, a 20
