quicker than they thought I
was" he said. "Leppert called
a good game. and the boys gave
me good support, particularly
Chuck Cottier."
Somebody kept count and
said Tom threw 10 knucklers.
He had his best curve of the
season and a good fast ball and
changeup.
Tom also had a quick 80
lead. Jim Piersall singled in the
first inning, Minnie Minoso
walked and Don Lock blasted
his first home run Of the year,
into the AS bullpen. Minoso
and Lock singled in the fifth,
Chuck Hinton sacrificed and
Marv Breeding singled them
home.
The Senators scored their
final run in the eighth on sin
giles by Lock and Hinton and
an obvious balk by Pete Low
rich.
Cheney was the only one
sleeping peacefully through the
opener! To almost everybody
else it was a nightmare.
Can't Hold Lead
Claude Osteen had an 8-3
lead after six innings as the
Senators pounded out nine
extra-base hits, but Claude
couldn't hold it, and Manager
Mickey Vernon admitted he
might have stuck with Osteen a
bit too long.
Bennie Daniels was no help,
Jim Hannah had one good inn
ing but then couldn't find the
plate, and Don Rudolph served
UP Bobby Del Greco's three-run
homer in the ninth that gave
the AS a 1919 lead. Rudolph
pitched only to Del Greco.
Rudolph now has allowed IA
hits, and seven of them have
been home runs.
Jim King, who had double
and homer in his first starting
role, almost won the game for
the Senators in the ninth with
a liner to center, but Del Greco
caught up with it at the last
split second.
George Alusik won the game
for the AS in the 18th with a
two-run single. and Bill Fisch-
er, formerly Of the old Sena-
tors, pitched four brilliant re-
lief innings to win his third
game. Jim Bronstad, the loser,
pitched well enough in relief to
win most games, but he could
not overcome the mistakes of
the makeshift infield behind
him.

Dodgers Steal Six Bases
The Colts managed only six
hits off Jim Maloney, who
went the distance for the Reds,
but they were enough. Al
Spangler's single drove in one
run in the first inning and Bob
Lillis pushed the other across
with an infield single in the

twi-nighter due to Art Quirk's
sudden illness. After mapping
an hour or more through the
late innings Of the Senator's
collapse, he was fresh and obli-
vious to the brand Of baseball
they we're playing.
However, somebody must have
tipped off Tom about the play
of the Senators infield. He
struck out eight Of the first 10
hitters to face him, working
under the axiom that there are
no bad hops in a catcher's
glove.
Eight minutes before O'Clock
this morning the Senator's beat
the Athletics, so, to knock
Kansas City out of a very tenn
porary hold on the American
League lead.
Second ShutOut
Cheney famed IL, gave up
three hits, walked one and
pitched his second shutout. The
first hit off him was Pitcher
Ted Bowsfield's double to right
center as the leadoff hitter in
the sixth.
Catcher Don Leppert said
Cheney didn't let up on Bows
field because Ted is a pitcher.
Tom just threw a high pitch,
and Bowsfield was swinging
high." Leppert said.
After three superb perform
ances, the record Of the 28-
year-old righthander from Nor
gan, Ca, looks like this:
/. In 81 innings Cheney has
a perfect earned-run average.
The only run off him was by
Los Angeles Monday night and
was unearned.
2. He has pitched three COM
plete games, and with a 80
record owns three of the Sem
ators' five victories.
3. He has 26 strikeouts in
three games and ranks second
in the AL behind Steve Barber
Of the Orioles.
4. Cheney has walked only
two batters in q innings.
S. He has given up only eight
hits, and four of them, includ-
ing Jose TartabulPs single in
the ninth inning last night,
did not leave the infield. He has
a one-hitter, a four-hitter and
a three-hitter.
The soft-spoken, balding
Highlander was fully aware he
had a no-hitter for five innings
last night, but he said he didn't
feel any pressure.
II knew somebody would get
a hit some time and actually
didn't think much about it,
Tom said, and he wasn't putting
out any malarky.
Senator Jump Ahead
Cheney, a likeable, unassum-
ing pitcher whose worst enemy
last year was his own nerves,
said he wasn't concerned over
his bid for a second shutout
until two were out in the ninth
and Tartabull was on first.
Nanny Jiminez popped to short
for the final out.
Tom also said he wasn't
strikeout conscious, even after
tanning eight of the first 10
batters. II guess I was a little

A damaging two-out error by
Jim Davenport in the second

Braves and allowed the seven

We Weep
BY Art Buchwald
from the New York Herald Tribune
of Sunday, November "a

WE WEEP for our President who died for
his country.
We weep for his wife and for his children.
We weep for his mother and father and
brothers and sisters.
We weep for the millions of people who
are weeping for him.
We weep for Amricans, that this could
happen in our country.
We weep for the Europeans
And the Africans
And the Asians
And people in every corner of the globe
who saw in him a hope for the future and
a chance for mankind.
We weep for our children and their chill
dren and everyone's children, for he was
charting their destinies as he was charting
ours.
We weep for the Negro, who saw in him
a chance for decent life.
We weep for the working man for whom
he tried to find jobs
We weep for the artist and the writer and
the poet.
For he cared about all Of us.
We weep for the teachers and the pupils.
We weep for old people whom he tried to
help.
We weep for the young people whom he
believed in.
We weep for the soldiers and sailors and
armen whom he commanded
We weep for their parents because he
saved their children from being destroyed
by war.
And while we weep, we weep for the
twisted mind that committed this horrible
crime
We weep for all the tortured and warped
people who could not accept the decent
things he stood for
And we weep for all the hatred and preju-
dice that fill the hearts of such small seq
ment Of our society.
We weep because there is nothing else we
can do.
Except curse those who would destroy a
man in hopes of destroying all of us.

Proclamation

President Johnson has urged

alton of the late Pre- esident Ken

Churches Thursday. Johnson
also asked that radio and tel
evision stations and newspap-
ers include the proclamation
in their recognition of the holi-

Proclamation issued by Pres
ident Kennedy November 5th.
Over three centuries ago our
forefathers in Virginia and In
Massachusetts far from home
In a lonely wilderness set aside
a time for Thanksgiving. On
the appointed day, they gave
reverent thanks for their safety,
for the health of their children,
for the fertility of their fields.
for the laws which bound them
together and for the faith which
united them under their God.
So, TOO, when the colonies
achieved their independence,
our first president in the first
year of his administration pro-
claimed November 26, 1889 as
"a day of public Thanksgiving
and prayer to be observed by
acknowledging with grateful
hearts the many signal favors
of Almighty God" and called
upon the people of the new Re-
public to "Beseech him to par
don our national and other
transgressions. to promote the
knowledge and practice of true
religion and virtue... and gen
orally to grant unto all man
kind such a degree of tenn
poral prosperity as he alone
knows to be best".

Turnpike May Be Renamed In Honor
Of Late President John F. Kennedy

The limited-access highway
linking the Delaware Memorial
Bridge and Baltimore Memorial
Tunnel may be renamed as a
memorial to President Ken
nedy.
Top Delaware and Maryland
officials said this week they
look favorably on suggestions
that the Delaware Turnpike and
Maryland Northeastern Ex-
pressway be renamed the John
F. Kennedy Turnpike or ex-
pressway.
The late President dedicated
the new highway at the Mason
Dixon Line on Nov. IA, only
eight days before his assa-
sination and as one of his last
official acts.
In Delaware, where legis-
lation would be needed to change
the name, legislative leaders
and highway officials applauded
the idea.
Gov. ]. Millard Tawes of
Maryland said he is In favor
of the idea and will consult
Gov. ElbertN. Carvel and mem
bers of the Kennedy family.
There is nothing would
rather do than sponsor such
bill," was the reaction of
Speaker Sherman W. Tribbitt,
D-Odessa. Sen. Curtis w. Steen,
D-Dagsboro, the president pro
tempore, said he favors re-
naming the turnpike in honor of
the late President and would
gladly talk up the idea among
the other legislators. He, too,
offered to introduce a bill to
that effect.

Under sunny, cloudless skies,
but with chill In the air, the
young dead President was then
taken across the river and under
the trees of Arlington. There,
in sonorous tones, Richard
Cardinal Gushing of Boston, who
had married John F. Kennedy
and his beautiful bride ten years
ago, commended the slain Presi-
dents soul to God.
LET his soul and all the souls
of the faithful departed rest In
peace, the archbishop prayed.
