Pellegrini Casts an Eye
AT Redskins 80 Thou

CARLISLE, Pa, Aug 14.-This Is the
wrap-up day for the Redskins. They break
camp at this tabled and historic town and
head for tomorrow's exhibition opener in
D. C. Stadium against the Bears.
Standing on the sidelines, watching
the leisurely final drill, Bob Penegrini
pushed his helmet to the back of his head
SO that its protective bars, invented too
late to save all his teeth, pointed into the
air. II want to see so Thou kick couple

1t seems like only yesterday that Pelle-

Pat Richter, the 6-foot-5Ha, 229-pound end
who was All-America at Wisconsin. 1t was
said without malice or envy, and Dave

Of the Redskins, chuckled.

laughed, and then added, with a mock
sign of regret: "All that money and he
won't play"
Richter, standing behind a burgundy
uniformed line that charged into both
white jerseyed defenders and tackling
dummies, got off high, long and wobbly
punt that Johnny Sample, playing safety,
drifted over and caught as the punting
team bore down on him.

they are better than Thorpe ever was.

official scorer thought it was
a passed bali on Leppert's part.
Moran went to third and
scored on a squeeze bunt by
Pinch-hitter Bob Sadowski.
Second guessing again, the
Angels had advertised q squeeze
by Sadowski. but Leppert did
not call for a pitchout.
The Senators had IL hits,
but scored only three runs, one
on a homer. They went down in
order in only one inning, and
left five runners stranded in the
last three innings.
Might Have Been
They also had a bad break
on Kings first double. Three
inches higher, or two feet to
the right it would have been
a homer. either over or to the
left Of the screen protecting
the bullpen. But it hit in the
corner Of the screen and dented
it. Jim said that was his best
shot. He hasn't hit a ball harder
all year.
Don Rudolph had one bad
inning in six and had to accept
his 18th defeat because he had
only one run behind him. The
Angels tagged six straight shots
in the second inning but three

two runs. He settled down and
pitched four strong innings, but
went out for q pinch-hitter in

NOTES-Both Able Pearson
and Leon Wagner went 0-for-4
and were dropped under 800
for the season by the Senator's
three pitchers. Phillips had
three hits for the second time
this season. Rookie Fred
Newman was scheduled to start
for the Angels but cut his finger
and Lee replaced him.
There was only one base on

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IA
= Don thinner made the
most appropriate comment
about last nights game.
IF we'd have lost one like
that and it meant the pennant
I'd have jumped off a bridge, -
he said.
It was a frustrating evening
for the Senators who tossed
away some wonderful oppor-
tunities of their own and gave
away the winning run in q
4-3 loss to the Angels.
The Angels snapped a seven
game losing streak and handed
the slipping Senators their sixth
loss in their last seven games
before 5,729.
The series continues tonight
with Claude Osteen opposing
Dean Chance.
Painful Eighth
The eighth inning was the
most painful to the Senators,
who failed to score the tying
run with runners on second
and third and nobody out. They
were trailing, 81, when Dick
Phillips led off with a single,
Chuck Hinton singled UP the
middle, and Jim King doubled
Phillips home on a bad-hop
ball past first and down the
rightfield line.
Jack Spring had relieved Don
Lee with King at bat, and Paul
Foytack relieved Spring with
Don Lock at bat after Spring
pitched to King.
The Angels chose to play the
infield back with the tying run
at third and the go-ahead run
at second. Lock stung one
right on the nose. but Short
stop Jim Fregosi timed a leap
to perfection and shared the
ball in the webbing. Had the
infield been in. Lock would
have driven in both runs.
Manager Bill Rigney went
to the mound for a conference
and ordered an Intentional pass

Leppert srnacked the first
pitch to Fregosi, who started
an easy double play.
There was the thought that
Minoso, who is much faster
than Leppert and usually gets
a piece of the ball. would have
been a better choice with o
bases-loaded, one-out situation.
Hodges agreed that 1t was
worth a thought. but he had
his reasons for using Leppert.
Don has been hitting the

I had to have a catcher to put

IF I had used Minoso to
hit for Neeman and he hit
into a double play, that meant
I would have used up Minoso
as a pinch-hitter and Leppert
as a catcher at one time, and
wouldn't have had Minoso
available to bat for the pitcher
in the ninth inning. We were
down to one extra player. Ed

Gil admitted that was slightly
defensive thinking, but it still
was sound. AS it was, Minoso
doubled for the pitcher in the
ninth and scored on Phillips

make it AS. But Hinton ground

Polinger
Timer In
annapolis

ANNAPOLIS = Milton Polin-
ger, principal owner of the huge
Anderson Tract located just
west of Rockville, apparently
has won his fight to be included
in the Washington Suburban
Sanitary District for purposes
of water and sewer lines to
spur development of the SIS
million tract.
Opposed by Rockville inter.
ests, Polinger sought legislative
enactment of a move making
him eligible for WSSC water
and sewer lines after he and
Rockville officials who could
provide water and sewer lines
strongly disagreed on the
amount of commercial land that
should be approved for the de-
velopment. His bill was enacted
over the opposition of city
heads.
Polinger is now expected to
seek water and sewer line ex-
tension from the WSSC and to
turn to the County Council
instead of Rockville - for the
commercial coming he seeks.
Rockville officials opposed
the move on the grounds that
major commercial development
of the tract, Immediately ada.
cent to the city, would serious.
ly threaten their long anticipat-
ed urban renewal plan which
depends in large part on com.
mercial development.
Polinger's bill was amended
so that in the event construc-
ton of a pumping station is re-
quired, the tracts developers
will have to pay for it.
