Hamilton Is Victim
/ The Senators faced two of
their eX-teammates yesterday
and batted .667 against them.
Steve Hamilton was the losing
pitcher in the second game as
the tie-breaking run was scored
against him in the fifth inning
on Bo Osborne's single. a wild
pitch and Mary Breeding's
third hit of the nightcap.
Hamilton worked in relief of
Stan Williams and was charged
with only one run. However,
two of the runs charged to
Williams we're driven in by Ed
Brinkman's single off Hamilton.
Steve struck out five in 225
innings.
Dale Long was a pinch-hitter
in the second game with run
ners on second and third and
two out, but Duckworth got him
on a grounder to Breeding.
Harry Bright was the only
former Senator who hurt. He
had a single and double in
three times at bat against Ru-
dolph and boosted his average
to 1894. Oddly enough, Pepi-
tone batted for him against Re-
lever Claude Osteen, a left
handler.
Don Lock had five hits for
the day, Osborne four and
Breeding three. plus two walks.
In the nightcap the Senators
lost leads of 20, 80 and 5-4
before they finally went ahead
to stay.
Rudolph pitched a scrappy
six innings in the opener but
was lifted for a pinch-hitter
in the seventh. The only runs
off Rudy were sliced homers
by Elston Howard and Mantle
in the rightfield seats. Bron-
stad was pounded in relief.

PiersalD for allowing the Senators to re-

tionally, save them large hunk of dough" /"
Hodges, who was signed by the Nets to
revive dormant Brooklyn enthusiasm, was
pulling down fat salary, probably bigger
than PierSall's).
However, when you are dealing with
George Weiss you invariably pay and pay.
Most fading players harbor managerial
ambitions. Hodges is no different. But
whereas most clubs are happy to give a
veteran his unconditional release, so as to
further his ambitions. Weiss apparently de-

ing wrong with 1t, either. Indeed, it's to be
applauded. Weiss rarely got the worst of
1t when he was master-minding the Yank-
eeS
For that matter, there's not much per-
centage in dealing with the now Weiss-less
Yankees. Old regime or present, they play
hard. The latest unofficial averages show
what the Yankee castoffs are doing these
days.
Ken Hunt has Just been sent TO the
minors by the Angels. Lee Thomas still
with LA, is hitting 201. Norm Siebern and
Jerry Lumpe Of the Athletics are .228 and
.2Ol Woody Held is 200 with the Indians
The big" hitter among the ex-Yankees
is Gus Triandos of the Tigers. A whopplng
.257 Even that mark isn't enough TO win
him the regular catching Job from rookie
Bill Freehan.

pitchers in the AL now who are winners.
Bob Turley is 1-3 with the Angels, Robin
Roberts "a with the Orioles, Jim Coates
l-2 and Jim Bronstad l-2 with the sena-
tors. Eli Grba has been released by LA and
Tom Morgan and Tom sturdivant haven't
been used enough 10 be listed.
Even Moose skowron has been flop
for the Dodgers TO date. When the Yankees
traded Moose for Pitcher Stan williams last
winter New York fans thought II was
bum swap. They'll miss those RBI," they
said. Besides skowron kept the batting
order honest. Now the Yankees are going

Poor Moose has been having his Ma

NXK LOSE OR DRAW

ANYONE FOR FIGURES and trends
today? Well, let's take look at what the
pitchers are doing to the hitters. Not
only the Senator's batters, but ALL hitters.)
This is an era in which hearts are
supposed to bleed profusely for the throw
ers. No splitter, more rabbit and balk-
happy umpires. Even the so-called enlarged
strike zone is hollow bone. what en-
larged strike zone?" the pitchers demand.
At the end Of 1862 the 20 clubs in the
majors averaged .261 at the plate. This
season only the Cardinals are hitting at
higher clip, and they stand out from all
others. (The' Yankees, for example, lead
the American League with .254).
oh, It's been lower in the past. You
can look back to 1908 and find a .239 season.
In contrast, 1t was 1903 in 1880. Both fig
ures include everybody in both leagues
good hitters, banjo guys, rinky -dinks,
pitchers.
OUR SENATORS WHO ELSE?
playing part in lowering the AL average.
The one asset General Manager George
Selkirk felt his club had this spring was
fairish bat-Hinton Minoso, Osborne, King,
Lock, etc. They haven't even had that
going for 'em.
Excluding the two games yesterday at
Yankee Stadium the Washington club bat
ting average over the previous is exhibit
tions (won 2; lost 49, was dolorous .l68
It's the kind of hitting that makes pitchers
happy.
All kinds OF throwers have been fatten-
Ing up on the Senators. Old pappy guys
and fringe pitchers Just a step away from
the minors have been getting well against
Washington. Over a two-week stretch
there have been a one-hitter, a two-hitter
a trio Of three-hitters and a four-hitter
flung at the Senators.
AT anything approaching this rate the
'6S Senators could break the all-time low
club average Of .2O7 which was set In 1885,
What club set it7 silly question.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 81
The Senators have a 23-year-
old rookie who is part Indian,
part character, and part pitch
er, and judging by his last two
performances his pitching
might outweigh everything else.
Jim Duckworth, who has been
nicknamed "Tonto" by his
Yonkees GOots Of Comedy on Base
Poths. Poge D-4
teammates, halted Washing
tons losing streak at eight
games and the Yankees win
ming binge at six in New York
last night with a strong relief
job that helped the Senators
win the nightcap, TO. They lost
the opener, I'll.
1t was a long and at times
hilarious day as both teams
outdid the Nets in the second
game with some screwball play.
Gil Hodges, who became a win
ming manager for the first time,
said it felt like old home
week." referring to his Gays
with the Nets.
Another Hot Rival
But there's nothing funny
about the immediate future for
the Senators. For the fourth
straight series they tangle with
a hot ball club as they move in
here to battle the Twins. In
their last three series they've
played the White Sox, who were
winning at the time, the sizzling
Orioles and the streaking
Yankees.
After a day off today they
meet the Twins, who have won
seven straight, tomorrow and
Wednesday nights and in a
Memorial Day morning game.
The time of the latter is a con-
cession to the opening of the
fishing season in this area.
Hodges, who detected a sill
yer lining in his four defeats
as manager, was tickled over
his first victory but he insisted
on giving all the credit to
Duckworth.
The Senators lost three of
four to the Yankees, but Hod-
ges said: "If we play for the
rest of the season like we did
in this series Wen be all right.
We're not going to meet any
body who is tougher, and we
were in all four Of these games

Major Assault
 Would Be Needed To Tackle Cuba

WASHINGTON R - It would take major amphibious assault, coordinated with paratroop at- tack, to overcome powerful Soviet stiffened defenses in Cuba.
 This is the current assessment by US. Intelligence authorities, as reported by the Senate Prepared ness Subcommittee.
 The Senate groups report, made public yesterday, said ''the com bined Soviet and Cuban forces now in the island are quite powerful defensively and could offer severe opposition to any attack"
 The investigators criticized the Central Intelligence Agency and military intelligence authorities for what they said were Substantial errors" in evaluating information indicating a serious missile-arms- troop buildup in Cuba last summer and fall.
 The subcommittee showed itself not fully convinced that all the Soviet long range missiles and bomberS have been ruled out of Cuba. It said intelligence chiefs admit there is a reason for grave concern" that such weapons might be hidden in some of the country's thousands of caves.
 But apart from questioning the latest intelligence estimate of 17,5O0 Soviets in Cuba, the Senate group appeared to accept the pro- fessionals' judgments on the state of Cuba's ground, air and sea de- lenses.
 Cuban army strength was listed as about 1855, ,OOO, the same as be- fore the crisis last fall. Of these, 75,O0O are believed regulars and the rest militia and home guard
 The core of Soviet ground power in Cuba was said to comprise about 5000 men in four mobile, power fully armored units.
 These Soviet army units, if CO., ordinated with Cuban native forces, could put up tough enough opposition ito make it necessary to mount large seaborne landing effort along with any desired air borne effort in order to be sure of success" the report said.

US. Navy Task Force Stands By Off Haiti

ABOARD THE USS BOXER IN GONAIVES GULF R - A US. Navy task force of eight ships and about 2,000 men cruised leisurely within sight of Haiti today, sweat ing out any possible call for the withdrawal of American citizens.
 The vessels moved in interna- tional waters of the Gulf of Co., naives 10 miles or more off the coast of mountainous Hispanola the big island uneasily shared by Haiti and the Dominican Repub- lie.
 The gulf is broad inlet from the windward passage, which se parateS Haiti and Cuba by 50 miles.
 It is two weeks since the Haitian crisis developed, but members of the task force have had no call for emergency service.
 The Boxer, carrier base for more than 20 helicopters, is the largest ship in the task force. Its equipment includes three varieties of jeeps. One variety, the mule, mounts 106mm recoiless rifles.
 Wednesday night, the Boxer took aboard newsmen for the first time in the current alert.
 The ships cruise over a variety of rectangular and triangular courses. They include the attack cargo ship Rankin, the dock land ing ship Fort Mandan, the tank landing ship Lorain County, the high-speed transport E. B. Hall the destroyers Putnam and Bigelov ! and the command ship Taconic.

Chief Cook and Butler

WASHINGTON R - Dining at the White House is often grand and formal affair - but not when President Kennedy is chief cook
 and butler.
 The President, the Washington Post reported, not only raids the breadbox but often dismisses the servants early when Mrs. Kennedy is away and invites in old friends to share dinner left in warming containers.
 One couple invited on short no- tice to such an affair, the Post said, arrived in black attire, ready for a candlelight supper in the elegance of Mrs. Kennedy's early 18th Century dining room.
 Instead of a butler they were served by the President who ladled out the soup while in shirtsleeves with a tea towel wrapped around his waist.

Pope John Awarded Balkan Peace Prize

VATICAN CITY LR - His face tired and drawn, Pope John XXIII today received the Balkan Peace Prize. He expressed gratitude to God for the honor and pledged to continue striving for world peace.
 The prize is worth $160,000.
 The Pontiff, 81, appeared some what tired as he walked slowly into the pontifical throne room for the first brief presentation cere- mony. A smile frightened his face as he looked at the small, restricted gathering.
 Then, his face lined and drawn, he was borne to brightly lit St. Peters where 10000 persons wait ed. There were sharp, red creases under his eyes.
 Reports that the Pope has can cer of the stomach have revived following word that he suffered a brief relapse Tuesday stemming from his serious illness of last November.
 The Pope's doctor, Prof. Antonio Gasbarrini, who has denied the cancer report in the past, said yes terday: q can say nothing about it. I am bound by professional secrecy"
 Italian President Antonio Segni made the Peace Award on behalf of the Swiss-Italian Balkan Foun- dation, established by the heirs ot an anti-Fascist Italian newspaper editor of the 1930s. The award tC the Pope was the second, the first having gone last year to the Nobel Foundation.
