as Ted williams and Mantle.
He's an all-around player,
too," Scheffing said, "a good
fielder as we'll as a good hitter.
And you have to remember this
really is his first year as a reg
ular. He got a late start. He
never played baseball until he
was in college and then he had
to put two years in the service"
Cash said he played only
softball as a youngster, but
added that there is nothing
easy about hitting a fast-ball
softball pitcher who is stand
ing on top Of you.
A star running back in foot
ball at Sui Ross State College
in Alpine, Tex, Cash was the
No. 13 draft choice of the Chi
cago Bears in 1855. But I
never even considered football
as a career" he said.

into the left-centerfield seats to
cut the deficit to one run.

NOTES: Pete Quesada, pres
ident of the Senators and for
mer head Of the Federal Avia-
ton Agency. announced last
night that the club no longer
will use one particular air line
unless no other service is
available. A hot meal was
promised on the flight Sunday
night from Boston to Wash
ington. Instead, only sand
wiches we're dished out. This,
on top of what happened in
Fenway Park a short time
earlier, didn't set well with the
players or Quesada either.
Jim Mahoney, Washington
shortStop, is suffering from a
muscle ailment in the vicinity
of his ribs, the result Of a col
lision with Leftfielder Hinton
in pursuit of a pop fly Sunday
against the Red Sox. Mahoney
was knocked completely off his
feet, but managed to hold on
to the ball, hit by Carl Yas-
trzemski. Steve Boros. rookie
third baSeman. and ShortStop
Chico Fernandez were on the
Detroit injury list last night.
Both had pulled leg muscles.
Kaline played third base,
marking his first appearance
as an infielder in his nine
years in the big leagues.
Hal Woodeshick, traded to
the Tigers recently for Chuck
Cottier, has been labeled a re-
lief pitcher. The Senators
knocked him out in his only
start since joining Detroit. but
Scheffing says he has looked
good in relief. Washing
tons attendance is 1882 be-
low that of last year for the
same number of dates. .
Last nights loss dropped the
Senators to seventh place.
