AANOA0 NJ July 10'-
Bob Shaw, a big righthander
acquired by the Athletics in q
trade last month with the
White Sox, was no patsy for,
the Senators today as he doled
out just four hits and hung up,
a 81 victory before a crowd
of 1853.
This was a startling depar-
ture from his previous behavior
toward the Senators. In three
other appearances this season,
one for the White SoX, Shaw
yielded a total of 13 runs and
IA hits in just five innings
against Washington.
The loss backed the Sena-
tors into a tie with the Twins
and the Angels for seventh
place. Each team has 1856
record, with the Angels play.
ing host to the Indians tonight.
AS Collect Cheap Hits
The AS collected nine hits
off John Gabler and Mike
Garcia, but five of them were
infield cheapies. Pete Burnside
worked one inning and did not
give up a hit.
They punched three such to-
gether in the seventh inning to
set the stage for Norm Sic
born's bases-loaded single, a
legitimate sinker over Chuck
Cottier'S head. That hit, against
Garcia, drove in the two runs
the AS needed.
The Senators got half of
their hits in the seventh. Marty
Keough beat out a bunt toward
third base and Gene Woodling
drove him home with a screech-
ing double to right-centerfield.
Danny O'Connell led off the
first inning with a single over
second base, and Bob johnson
singled to left with one out in
the fifth.
Trouble at Second
Other than these spotty up
risings, the only trouble Shaw
had was of his own making.
He walked three and hit a bat
ter, He struck out four.
Second base was poison for
the Senators today. In the first
inning. Keough got hit by a
pitch following O'Connell's sin
gle, but Shortstop Dick Howser
leaped high to grab Bud Zipfel'S
liner and doubled off O'Con-
nell. A few seconds later,
Keough was out at second try
ing to steal.
In the third inning, Gene
Green led off with a walk and
was cut down stealing on what
appeared to be a missed hit
and-run signal. Cottier was at
bat.
In the fourth inning Keough
was on second, thanks to a two
base error by Siebern. He didn't
remain there long, Shaw pick
ing him off with a throw to
HowSer. And in the sixth inning,
Howser fielded a groundar by
O'Connell and threw wild over
Siebern's head, but Catcher
Haywood Sullivan backed up
the play and threw out O'Con-
nell at second.
Things still looked bright for
the Senators going into the
seventh, with Gabler proving
very tight in the clutch. A bull
pen fixture most of the season,
Gabler twice loaded the bases
and both times got out Of
trouble. He got Shaw on an
easy infield out in the second
and in the fifth he struck out
Siebern.
Loses Grip In Seventh
Fate turned against John in
the seventh. With one out, Shaw
beat out a scratch hit off
Gabler's glove. HowSer tapped
out a slow roller to Cottier for
another single, and Jay Han
kins topped a ball that bounced
high near the pitchers mound
to fill the bases.
Garcia, one-time star of the
Cleveland pitching staff, re-
lieved Gabler and got Wayne
Causey on a short fly, the rum
ners holding. Siebern raped a
single into short rightfield to
score Shaw and Howser.
The Senators went down in
order in the eighth. Keough
walked with one out in the
ninth, but Zipfel popped up
and Jim King took a third
called strike.
The Senators now have lost
seven of IL games to the last
place AS. They will try to mar
row the margin in the rubber
match of the three-game Sc
ries tomorrow. Bennie Daniels
(5-5) will pitch for the Sena-
tors against Jerry Walker,
(4-6).
NOTES-It was hot here to-
day, with the temperature in
the mid-90s, but there was
token relief in a breeze that
blew toward centerfield.
Pitcher Dick Donovan, who
went to Washington for treat
ment of an injured shoulder
has rejoined the team
but when he'll be ready to go
