Stricken Senators Fucino
7 Games in 4-Doy Period

For the record, the Senators
now have lost % Of their last
81 games.

Woody Held's 17th home run
of the year, a two-run blast into
the leftfield bleachers in the
second inning, spelled the diff
ference.
Daniels Settles Down
The Indians got their other
run in the third inning on a
single to left-center by Jim
Piersall and a double off the
rightfield wall by Willie Kirk
land. Daniels blanked them on
four hits the rest of the way.
In the ninth the Indians put
three on with one out, but
Daniels got Kirkland on a fly
ball and Valmy Thomas on an
infield out.
Harry Bright, catching in
place of Green, singled with
two out in the second and
romped home on a triple off the
rightfield wall by Marty Ke-
ough. Singles by Danny O'Con-
nell, Gene Woodling and Bud
zipfel produced Washington's
other run in the third.

If the Milwaukee Braves can

Los Angeles Dodgers to stand
still Just a little longer, they
may yet run off with that
National League pennant.
They ran off with a 81
victory over the Second-place
Dodgers-Scoring the winning
run on a double steal - last
night and moved back into
third place while dropping Los
Angeles three games behind
idle Cincinnati. The Braves
now are 61a games shy of the
top and just 31a behind the
Dodgers.
That's still a long way to
go, but it's almost nothing
compared to how far they've
come.
The Braves hit their low

Indeed, Griff didn't have one
THE SENATORS RESENTED Quesada's s
press release. "He could have chewed us
out privately" one player said, bitterly.
This thing the other night was BUSH"
In fairness to Gen. Quesada, the clubs
long losing streak has gnawed at him.
Perhaps the Senators early successes had
not prepared him for adversity on such a
scale, although in the National League
this season the long established Phillies
dropped % games in row, and the World
Champion Pittsburgh Pirates fell apart.
In light of the unexpectedly bright
spring showing too much may have been
taken for granted in the front office. The
rival American League teams were not
giving any more than necessary in the
expansion draft, even for $2.1 million.
The Senators who are fringe players
know it and most of them admit it. They
have no great illusions about their skills.
But they claim that because of their tenta-
tive status they can't afford not to hustle.
They know there is nobody on the roster to
compare with Mantle, Maris, Colavito,
Kaline, Cash, Killebrew and other stars Of
other clubs They are proud of their record
to date of holding the Yankees even in IA
games.
BEFORE GAME TIME last night-Some
"a hours after the release of the generals
thoughts -Quesada felt that the storm
was subsiding. Tasby had called at the
boss office for talk The others-Long
and Green-stayed away.
"TaSby and I had nice talk" reported
Quesada. "Tasby's attitude couldn't have
been better It was very flattering to him.
"I think this whole thing has blown
over. For my part, felt that something
had to be done in an effort to break our
losing streak"
A good many of the Senators hadn't
been playing regularly for several seasons.
This is because the new Senators and
Angels are composed chiefly of utility
players. They are the bench strength
which the other clubs used to have. This
is the longest season in the history of the
American League and many of the veterans
are aging.
They are tired and, being losers, they
are testy. And, being testy, they are Sensi-
tive about terms such as lack of hustle"
and apparent Indifference"

action to Gen. Pete Quesada's public state

outrage.
Gen. Quesada is president of the

Tne lndlVlouai EXPLOITS OF
Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris go to the background
tonight as New York and
Detroit begin the first of two
series that could settle the
American League pennant.

expected to jam into Yankee

first meeting of the two AL
contenders since July 4. Second
by 11a games going in, the
Tigers must sweep the series
to be on top coming out.
Even if they win the three
games, which figure to draw
10000 fans or so. the Tigers
still face a four-game series
with the Yankees in Detroit in
two weeks.
Old Hat to YankS
This set, which most Of the
Tigers insist in "just another
SERIES" is important to the
Yankees, too, of course. But
while the Tigers, who haven't
won a pennant since 1945, are
newcomers to title showdowns.
it's almost old hat to the
Yankees, who trail Detroit, SIS.
in season play.
Just q year ago-almost to
the day-the Yankees went into
Baltimore leading the Orioles
by percentage points. The
Orioles swept the three games
for a two-game edge, and the
plates were linked for Baltimore
World Series tickets.
But two weeks later the Yam
KEGS swept four from the
Orioles in New York-and didn't
lose another game.
With Yankee ace Whitley Ford
(22-3) facing Don Mossi Q4-3) a.,
and New York's M & M pair
pursuing home-run record as
} well as World Series cash, the
series opening crowd should be
somewhere around $1,000.

time pay andior compensatory
time, but no overtime compensa-
ton Or time off were granted the

this situation reveals that the
statements and accusations which
had been made publicly are not
correct. While such a discrepancy
existed at one time, the situa-

There is, therefore, no basis for
the public statements which have
