ALL OF THESE PREDICTIONS came
to pass, yet the Yankees are on top and
are odds-on to stay there. Detroit, which
was to have contended, is far out Of it.
Cleveland, which didn't have pitcher who
could win more than IS games last year,
dealt for Dick Donovan and yet fell apart
even as Donovan had 15-5 record last
week.
The Orioles were to have been flag
threats but they have been having trouble
playing 500 ball.
But some club or clubs had to move
up amid the carnage, and it became the
happy lot Of the Angels and Twins. Even
in what must be classified as a league
which has lost stature there is, so far, a
fairy tale quality to the stories of the
Angels and the Twins.
Alas for the Washington club it makes
it all the more humbling to be mired so
deep in league that has lost respect.

.MN LOSE OR DRAW

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS 1t must be
assumed that one Of the primary reasons
behind Gen. Pete Quesada's threat to re-
arrange the Senator's tactical command
stems from the confounding success Of the
Los Angeles Angels.
There are baseball men who still can't
believe the Angels are for real. But there
they are, hanging on to second place in
the American League, and it's almost mid
August. '"rhey must be doing it with mir
srors," General Manager Ed Doherty Of the
Senators has remarked.
In fairness to the beleaguered Doherty,
whose stewardship appears in jeopardy, he
has engineered more moves than most Of
! his critics credit him with making. In the
first year Of their twin existence (1961) the
Angels may have been more active at Jug
Cling players, but Doherty hasn't been pre-
cisely idle.
~ He can point to only 10 survivors Of
the 35-man squad listed on the 81 spring
roster And four Of these holdoyers-Bob
johnson, Bud Zipfel, Joe Hicks and Ed
Hobaugh-have been farmed out at least
I once for further seasoning.
OF THE IS PLAYERS on last springs
varsity roster, only q are with the club
today, and out of the shuffling the Sena-
tors have wound up with one of the better
pitching staffs. The pitching and Chuck
Hinton's vast improvement have been emf
nently satisfactory, tribute to Doherty,
\ Manager Mickey Vernon and his coaches.
Is Yet the club never has jelled. Not
asince June is, 1861, have the Senators
reached 500 after any period of time. They
were tied for fourth on this date, then col
lapsed. The one-run defeats, hallmarks
of bad ball clubs, piled up. The Senators
8floundered dismally through losing streaks
of 5. 10, z, "A, and 10 games. Over one
stretch they dropped "a Of Is.
This season, armed with more solid
pitching and catching, and with Hinton,
Harry Bright and Ken Retzer swinging
good bats, the club made one move at the
time of the first All-Star Game and then
settled back into the last-place rut again.
They now have dropped eight Of their
last nine.
Doherty is willing to match his pitch
ing staff against the Angels CT think it's
the best staff in the league'), and Hinton,
Retzer and Bright can show higher batting
averages than any Of the Los Angeles hit
/. tiers. Yet, although each has team aver
age of .253 according to the latest AL fig
ures, the Angels have scored some ia more
runs and batted in over 100 more runs.
And won % more games.
THE STORY OF THE ANGELS is al
most fairy tale, yet it also is reflection
s on the American League. AS one news
paper critic put it, "They have reached
their eninence by default. A sick guy is
the strongest man in the cemetery at mid
might"
Hardly anybody seriously expects the
Angels to overtake the Yankees. They
don't even figure to beat out Minnesota for
second money, although on paper the Twins
don't belong in their present lofty posi-
ton, either.
The Twins, like the Angels, were lucky
with their moves. A couple of kids named
Rich Rollins and Bernie Allen have shored
up their infield and batted in more runs

Green's second two run
homer accounted for the win
ming runs in the eighth inning.
The first blast was off Steve
Hamilton, who started and was
lifted for a pinch-hitter in the
seventh with Bob johnson on
third and one out.
Vernon pointed out that
Hamilton was getting tired and
the situation positively called
for a pinch-hitter. But Jim
King hit a two-hop grounder
to Jerry Kindall at second, and
johnson was thrown out at the
plate.
Hamilton and Jim Hannah
have been giving us our best
left and righthanded relief
pitching" Vernon pointed out.
Some Of our other pitchers
haven't been going so well, so
we decided to give Hamilton
and Hannah a chance to start. T"
Hannah goes tonight against
the Indians.
Green Connects Twice
Hamilton pitched five score
less innings yesterday and
famed seven. but Essegian's
third straight single and
Green's first homer into the
Senators bullpen left the In
dams trailing by only 80 in
the sixth. They tied it in the
seventh on Willie Tasby's sin
gle.
Daniels walked Essegian, the
first man he faced, and Green
sliced a homer over the fence
in right. The loss was the 18th
of the season for Bonnie.
Mudcat Grant was rocked
for a three-run homer by Harry
Bright in the first inning after
a walk to Jim Piersall and
single by Chuck Hinton. After
Don Lock walked and Bob
johnson singled, Manager Mel
McGaha came out. for a talk
with Grant. Another base hit
probably would have kayoed
Mudcat. But Chuck Cottier
fouled out to end the uprising,
and Grant pitched eight score
less innings. The only hits off
him after the first were Cot
tiers two-out triple in the
fourth, and JohnSon's double.
Mudcat now has beaten old
and new Washington teams IL
times in five years in Washing
ton, without a loss. The Sena-
tors knocked him out on the
Indians last visit, but he did
not take the loss.
The Senators could be in for
a rough evening tonight when
Hannah and Don Rudolph face

Disappointment is a mild
word for Bill McPeak's feelings
after the Redskins 37-7 loss
to the Rams at Los Angeles
Saturday night.
Chances are the youthful
head coach will feel worse after
the Colts put his athletes
through the mangler at D. C.
Stadium Thursday night in the
Shrine benefit game. The Colts
blasted off their 80 exhibition
campaign with a 1928 decision
over the Eagles Saturday.
Curiously. the Redskins still
think they're pretty good-at
least not as bad as the final
score makes them out. In
certain individual cases they're
right, but such cases are too
few. On Saturday night they
didn't show any big improve
ment over last year.
McPeak thinks the squad
may have been too tight. He
could be right. 1t didn't have
Defensive Tackle Joe Rutgens
and it was armed only with a
few basic plays. But such
things can't excuse a miserable
performance.
Zeke Completes Is
The Rams weren't any great
shakes on the ground. Their
running attack Melted only 70
yards. However, through the
air they picked up BOT.
Zeke Bratkowski completed
IS passes in % tries for 272
yards and two touchdowns. He
had enough time to wind an
eight-day clock before firing
the ball. When you give a good
'passer that much time and

bound to find one all alone.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10
(AP).-Jim Davenport, injured
Giant third baseman, may re-
turn to the lineup in 10 days
instead of being sidelined for
from four to six weeks, Man
ager Alvin Dark reports.
Davenport suffered a small
bone fracture in his left hand
when he was hit by q pitch
from Don Drysdale Saturday.
Dark said the injury was
similar to a foot bone fracture
Felipe Alou suffered several
weeks ago. Alou has played
with the injury taped.
There's no way Davenport
can hurt it any further" Dark
said, "As long as he can stand
the pain he'll be able to play,

disgust.
A close pass-interference call
against Jim Steffen early in
the game helped the Rams get
their first touchdown march
underway, and some felt this
had a bad effect on the team.
Possibly it did, but how to ex-
plain what followed is some
thing else again. Bratkowsh
had little trouble later on.
Pleased With EImOre =
On the bright side, If there
Is one, McPeak was pleased
with rookie Doug Elmore's work
at halfback, Steve Junker
looked good making the teams
longest gain on a 38-yard pitch
from Snead, and rookie Galen
Hall seemed completely at ease
at quarterback. The Penn
Slater completed six Of his Is
throws for 122 yards. although
the Rams had some Of their
rockies on the field.
McPeak got a good look at

Center Bob Hacker, Fullback
Ron Hatcher, Linebacker Lon
HerZbrun and Tackle Charlie
Moore. All gave it the old col

Paluck at defensive end and
for the first time-at the mid

The Redskins will work out
at Georgetown at $3.50 today,
but will merely timber up.
They've got only two days to
get ready for the Colts, and
they can't do much Wednesday.

CLEVELAND, Aug. IS. -
Manager Mickey Vernon says
he plans to operate on a busi-
ness-as-usual basis on the
Senators 16-game road trip,
which opens here tonight with
q twi-night double header with
the Indians.
Vernon seemed more upset
over yesterdays So loss to the
Indians than over the report
that President Pete Quesada
was planning to replace him
as manager.
Il went to the generals Of
flee as soon as I arrived at the
Stadium" Vernon said in
Washington yesterday, but he
wasn't in. He came to the club
house before the game and we
talked for about an hour"
No Personal Blame
Vernon said Quesada claimed
his words were misinterpreted.
Mickey said Quesada did not
blame him personally for the
Senators failures for last two
years, did not second-guess
him and did not mention any
specific instances where Mickey
had used wrong judgment.
The gist of the conversation,
according to Vernon, was that
personnel changes come up at
this time Of year on teams that
are in or near the cellar. He
said the general pointed to the
unrest at Baltimore, Boston,
Houston and on other second
division clubs.
Quesade told his manager
that they must be looking to
the future. the draft meeting
and to the young talent.
