Senators Hope for Best
In 3-Game Set With Twins

NOTES The Senators an
nounced in Washington yester-
day that Bill Gilbert has re-
signed as promotion director,
but that is not the way Gilbert
tells it. He said he was notified
80 days ago that his services
would no longer be required
after that period of time, but
was not given a reason. {.
Johnny Welaj will add the pro-
motional duties to those of ad-
vertising director, the an
nouncement said.
There is an American League
rule that says a team must be
in a city five hours before game
time. If the Senators plane is
on time today, they are due
here 5 hours and 6 minutes be-
fore the game. Sports Illus
trated has had a crew here
working on a story on Jimenez.
Nanny was 0-for-10 against
the Senators with the reporters
and photographers watching.
Although Hicks was on first
base four times last night, he
never made it to second. &.
When Howser stole second

up six hits before Ron Kline

one run over the final 2ls in

of four Chicago hurlers. took
the loss.
The Indians, shut out on
three hits by Robin Roberts for
five innings and trailing, 80,
used Brooks Robinson's error
as a wedge in the sixth inning
and scored all their runs. A
single by Ty Cline after the
bobble, AL Luplow's double, a

Chuck Essegian did the dam

Reminder to Quesodo:
1t Could Happen Again
BY LEWIS r. ATcHIsoN

Montreal as proof that the clubs niggardly
financial reputation was unfair. 1t was
a record price for Washington, and Griff
said he took Gandil without knowing
whether he could hit. Curiously, Chick was
installed in the cleanup spot and finished
the season with S05 average.
THE TEAM HAD SOME lapSes. At St.
Louis, for example, Engel lost control
when Catcher Alva Williams dropped a
pop fly and Third BaSeman Morgan fell
down on an easy grounder. But these
incidents happened on a day when the
Washington batters were tuned in on the
Browns pitching and the invaders won,
1876. Hopes scared when the team swept
the series, 80, on a six-hitter by Walter
Johnson, who seemed to thrive on toll.
At Chicago the sky was even bluer
when the surprising Washington nine beat
the masterful Ed Walsh and capable Frank
Lange in the first two games.
When Bob Groom beat the Sox on five
hits and Washington moved into third
place, Grille was convinced that although
the present pace is abnormal, it proves
Griff was talking of sending a less expert
enced pitcher against Chicago in the final
and saving Johnson for Detroit, where he
could be used twice.
AT DETROIT FANS dropped around to
the teams hotel to ogle the new wonder
team. They compared it in awed tones
with Ned Hanlon'S tabled 1894 Baltimore
Orioles and even applauded when Wash
ington scored three runs in the ninth to
skin the Tigers, 80, for its 18th straight.
in the ninth inning of that one and sent
him back the next day to sweep the
series ST..
The team didn't disappoint on its re-
turn, running its streak to II in a row with
a 5-4 win over Philadelphia when Gandil
singled home Moeller with two out in the
ninth. The next day, June 10, the skein
ended with a double loss at Philadelphia
81 and As. But it ended on sour note
In the last half of the 10th inning of
the first game, Shortstop Jack Barry OF
the AS tried to score from first on hit
to rightfield. Moeller whipped the ball to
Morgan, who relayed it to Henry. The
catcher blocked the plate and had Barry
out by feet, but Umpire John Egan called
him safe. Even the Philadelphia fans
booed. Egan was so confused he kept yell
ing play ball." although Barry'S run ended
the game.
Griff's team didn't win the pennant
that year, but it was runnerup to the
Champion Red Sox.
If Manager Mickey Vernons men ever
win II straight, or even seven in a row
they are assured of warm welcome home
Meanwhile, Quesada and his cohorts may
take heart in the fact that it could happen
here. 1t did, so years ago.

MINNEAPOLIS, June L.
The Senators, who achieved
the best results and had the
second best payday against the
Twins last year, are hoping
for more of both as they open
a three-game series here to-
night.
The Senators had a 9-8 edge
over the Twins in 1861, the only
club from which they won the
season series, and they at
tracted their second biggest
crowds both here and at home
against the former tenants of
Griffith Stadium.
But now, the Twins are only
IL games out Of the league lead
and only a half game back of
the Yankees. The Senators will
have to be far more consistent
than they have been of late If
they are going to start working
on an edge over some club
They are even with the Angels
in four games, but trail the
other eight clubs in the sea-
son series.
Dave Stenhouse pitches to-
night, first of a string of right
handlers to face the Twins.

turned in mid-June in second place with II
big ones in the book and the huzzahs of
the sports world ringing in his sensitive
ears. The Republican Party's convention
was under way in Chicago, and it was
stormy, with President Taft and Teddy
Roosevelt at the head of rival factions.
Taft, real fan, stayed home to welcome
the triumphant ball club, leaving the
politiking to the politicians. This was a
once-in-a- lifetime situation, and he didn't
want to miss it.

ball! That's all that can be heard" wrote
H. C. Byrd, then Star contributor and
later president of the University of Mary

teams triumphant Homecoming from
Cleveland, with thousands at Union Station
to greet it. The citys numerous sandlot
leagues called off their games to watch
the Nationals" The Star said the demand
for tickets was so great it doubted that the
crowd would be able to get into the stands,
"commodious as they are"

J. ED GRILLO, THE STARS sports
editor and baseball writer, made the West
ern trip with the team. He was in an
optimistic mood when the tour reached st.
Louis after SO victory over the Red Sox
at Boston in the afternoon game of two
Memorial Day contests. Nineteen year old
Joe Engel showed promise as a pitcher,
Grille reported He was "as cool as a
cucumber" and even TESTED with his team
mates during his debut in the Hub City.

Grillo detected neither friction nor
jealousies on the squad, although Outfielder
Jack (Schoolboy) Knight was worried about
his future when Manager George Stovall
of the Browns asked him how he'd like to
play in st. Louis. Infielders Ed Foster and
Ray Morgan and Outfielders Danny Moeller
and Howard Shanks-all fresh from the
minors, were delivering handsomely. Griff
had them hustling and the new man on
first, Chick Gandil, was proving to be worth
$4,000 and three ballplayers.
Grillo hailed Gandil's purchase from

Jim O'Toole, registered his
ninth victory in 10 decisions as
the Reds jumped ahead of Mil

was tagged for a homer with
one on by Hank Aaron in the
sixth and yielded two more

Robinson's double got in a
run as the Reds scored twice
off Carl Wiley in the third
and he powered Cincinnati into

his homer, which followed sim

Marty Keough.
Robinson Finds Range
Robinson, whose prolonged
slump had him under 200 not

raised his average to .289. His
four runs batted in moved his
total up to 80.
The Dodgers played ever

and scored on a sacrifice fly
Roebuck allowed just one sim

before Perranoski slammed the
door.
