JOINTED SNAKES are
curious creatures but until
you have tried doing away
with one of the nasty things
with the help of five scream
ing children you've really
missed a round of excitement.
That was the story one day
this week as Martha Jean
Pepper and l rushed out OF
our respective homes in ans
wer to squalls of distress, to
find two Peppers, one Tardy,
one Ellison and one Waits
armed with various garden
tools, plus a Ratchet, waging
a tremendous battle upon a
jointed snake who had seen
fit to break himself into seve-
raj pieces, each of which was
squirming and crawling all
over the place. So we join
ed the fracas and after many
attempts amid plucking var
ious children from out of the
way, found the piece with the
bead attached and killed it,
at least we killed the head.
Fun!

IT WOULD, OF COURSE, be no con-
test in the American League. At the mo-
ment, it's no contest, anyway, thanks to the
bench Of which Berra and Houk sing.
"This Is the month that will tell the
story" Houk said. We've got eight games
with the White Sox-four in Chicago and
four in New York. Those will be the big
ones If we win five Of those I've got to like

BECAUSE OF WHAT must be close tn

Houk sometimes writes out some strange
lineups. Harry Bright, Senator discard,
may be on first base, and occasionally on
third. John Blanchard, catcher, may be In
the outfield or even on first.
Berra may coach one day, catch the
next, find himself in the outfield on the
third or fourth day, or at least pinch-hit-
ting. Yogi who doesn't speak of his own
contributions, said, "You got to publicize
these bench guys. Also the regs, like Boyer,
who can play short as well as third-and
Bobby Richardson, who can play third as
well as second. Also lot OF others, like
Lopez.
I'VE got guys who can play anywhere.
That's what meant by this is the best of

The Yankees, off now for Los Angeles,

games against the Yanks.
Pete Burnside, roughed UP
Wednesday night, redeemed
himself with a good one-inning
relief job and Ron Kline
pitched a perfect ninth, tanning
two.
Terry finally walked a batter,
his first pass in SO innings. He
wasn't fast, but he has a screw
ball that he gets over, and the
Senators couldn't do much with
it. Terry's complete game was
his 14th, tops in the American
League, but he has won one less
game than he has completed.
NOTES.-The three-game Sc
ries with the Yankees drew
64,430 paid, which very prob
ably will be more than one
tenth of the Senators home
attendance this year. YesteE

1859 Of The Stars Knothole
Club members and 2.758 ladies.
Catcher Hobie Landrith suf-
fered a fracture of a bone in
his right hand in Wednesday
nights game and will be out
from four to six weeks, further
reducing the number of able
bodied Senators. He will return
to his Sunnyside (Calif) home
while the bone mends. Tommy
Brown is in York, which shorts
the Senators one player; Dave
Stenhouse is on the disabled
list and has not been replaced,
and Ron Moeller still hasn't
pitched. Landrith's absence
cuts the squad to 81 available
players.
In answer to q question,
Senators officials said they
can't recall Bob Schmidt to
replace Landrith because
Schmidt was released outright
and must go through the draft.
/. The Yankees requested
yesterdays game start at 1870,
a half-hour early, because they
had to catch a $50 flight out
of Dulles international for Los

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

I'D HAVE TO AGREE with Yogi"
Ralph Houk said in the visiting managers
office in D. c. Stadium. "This is the best
Yankee team I've SEEN"
The perennial champions had Just pol
ished off the Senators again and were
: dressing for their charter flight to Los
Angeles. Yogi Berra, dean Of the Yankees,
had rated the club the most versatile since
he was rookie in 1947.
80 II don't say it's the best hitting club"
Yogi stressed, but we've got the best bench.
almost everybody can play couple, maybe
more positions. The team once thought
was the best might not have been on top
Ibis year because of all the injuries we've
had"
"This is the club that had Johnny Lin
del, Billy Johnson, Bobby Brown those
fellows?P
yeah, and I'm not knocking EN-"
Berra said. But Lindell, all he could play
was leftfield. Johnson could only play third
base. Brown only played third. They could
hit, but our bench today hits little, too,
and, like said, they got versatility"
gs& This is a word Yogi presumably picked
up when he became a player-coac Han
dies 1t wen, too
"YOGrS RIGHT ABOUT the bench"
said Houk, well satisfied with taking three
81 four from the Senators. TITS been a re-
ariarkable season for u.s. Mantle, Maris,
Kubek-all hurt. Bridges and Daley hurt.
Arroyo gone. Then off the bench come the
shock troops Bright, Linz, Blanchard,
Hamilton and, of course, Berra himself
This is the best Yankee team I've
seen for another reason: Depth in pitch
ing. Oh, individual pitchers have had bet
ter seasons, but our pitching, as you saw
here in Washington, is looking very good"
Whitley Ford was the lone Yankee
pitcher To be bombed by the Senator's, who
otherwise were held TO one earned run in
the three succeeding games by Stan VIII
hams, al Downing and Ralph Terry.
Ford hasn't pitched well In his last
three games" Houk admitted, "but I'm not
worried about Whitley as long as his arm
isn't bothering him. And 1t isn't"
ONE OF THE STANDoUTS of the
Washington series was Phil Linz, playing
third base while Clete Boyer was rested.
Linz was six-for-l3.
Now we've got another guy from the
bench who's Joined the hero list" Houk
grinned as he hastily knotted his tie and
asked Travelling Secretary Bruce Henry
when the bus was leaving for the airport.
TITS never the same guy over any long

Some observers thought Os-
borne could have broken UP the
double play, or at least had a
go at it, after he grounded to
Joe Pepitone. But instead of
barreling into Richardson, who
was covering first. Osborne ap-
preached the bag rather caut-

Gil Hodges, baffled at the
Senators ineptness against the
Orioles, is hopeful of an about
face by his manpower-sh short
squad tonight as Baltimore
moves in for q three-game Sc
ries.
The Senators have only 81
able-bodied players, four short
of most clubs, and there is no
help in sight as the close their
home stand before facing a 10
game Western trip.
Hodges, who goes far out of
his way to attempt to hide the
shortcomings of his healthy
men, admitted that his club
played sloppy baseball in los
ing, 81, to the Yankees at D. C.
Stadium yeSterday.sHe hopes 1t
was just one Of those days, and
that the Senators will snap
back and break the Baltimore
jinx. The Orioles have won IL
Of IL games from the Senators,
and only a few Of them have
even been close.
The Yankees. who left for a
three-game series in Los An
geles after taking three of four
against the Senators, finished
with a 6-3 record for the sea-
son in Washington. That's three
more than the Senators won
here against the Yanks last
year.
In Yank's Shadow
Even in Los Angeles, the
Senators will be playing in the
Yankees shadow. The Yankees
will draw heavily there for the
weekend series. leaving the
Senators with the dredgings
when they open a series In Los
Angeles next Tuesday.
Hodges seldom If ever criti-
cizeS a player. but he admitted
there were instances yesterday
when the Senators were not toe
sharp.
With the Senators trailing

Kubek led off with a single
