NIIebrew Finds Senators
Helpful in Cutting Whiffs

gave Camilo Pascual a 81 lead
in the sixth inning last night
before ll,797, a pair of singles
by Pascual provided the mar
gin of victory. PaScual has hit
safely in his last six games and
has 10 runs batted in, a figure
exceeded by only three of the
Senators.
First Time Starter
The Twins remained a half
game out of the league lead and
are only IL percentage points
behind the second-place Yam
KEGS, who were idle.
Manager Sam Mele will use a
firSt-time starter tonight in
Georges Maranda, a 30-year-
old French Canadian who won
l and lost 4 with the Giants in
1859 in his only previous major
league experience. He is a
Highlander.
Joe McClain will make his
fourth start for the Senators.
PaScual went che distance for
the sixth time last night, a per-
sonal record for this time of the
year, gave up eight hits and
famed six to increase his
league-leading total to 49. He
retired the side IN order in only
two innings, but slipped a called
third strike past Gene Wood
ling in the eighth for a key out
and ended the game on Jim
Kings double-piay ball. Wood
ling has struck out only three
times in 80 times at bat, in
cluding Is walks.
Piersall, who is starting to
make the crowds hum in antici-
patton, hit his second home
run IN two days into the SEN
ators' bullpen, singled, and
caught Killebrsw'S towering
drive with his seat against the
centerfield fence.
StenhouSe pitched four strong
innings and deserved a better
fate in the fifth when the
Twins scored twice on Gerry
zimmerman's single, Bernie
Aliens double and a double by
Zorro Versailles on a ball right
past Harry Bright at third.
Kellebrew's homer added a
third run and Pascual drove IN
the last two.
Manager Mickey Vernon
started Bright at third for the
first time this season because
OF his hitting. Harry con-
tributed two singles, but
flinched at Versailles ball, and
made an error On a simple
grounder by Vic Power. The
crowd was on Bright.
Vernon said he would sleep
over the third base situation
before deciding on tonight's
starter.
Gets Good Support
With the exception of ver-
sales hit, Stenhouse had good
support. King and Chuck Cot
tier teamed in a spectacular
double play in the third after
a walk to Rich Rollins. King
took Killebrew's fly and lined
a throw to Cottier, who made
a great tag of Rollins trying
to take second after the catch.
Cottier also made two leaping
catches of line drives and Bob
johnson saved a run just before
Stenhouse was lifted in the
sixth when he knocked down
Rollins ball in short left and
prevented Pascual from scoring.
Dale Long continued his
heads-up play to set up a
Washington run in the second.
He singled to center and stole
second, his third stolen base
of the season. Bright scored
him. Piersall homered in the
seventh, and in the eighth
Pinch-hitter Joe Hicks singled
and scored on Cottier's triple
with one out.
NOTES.-The Democrats will
meet the Republicans at GAS
tonight in a congressional pre-
liminary game. Vernon and the
Senators coaches will umpire.
