Washington
‘ Senators in
Great Bali
By Associated Pres?
Even the most ardent Washing
ton roojters are convinced Manage
Bucky Harris is doing it with mir
rows.
Any moment they expect to wak
up and be told it isn’t true—tha
the Senator’s place among Amer
lean League’s elite'is a mirage, jw
a wonderful, fantastic dream.
No wonder the^> faithful Capi
rooters, who have had little to chee
for nearly 20 years find the piv >
picture too good to be (rue. For i
the much maligned Washingto:
castoff crew yapping at the heel
of the pace-setting New York Yan
kees?
Three weeks of the eampaim
have been disposed of and the Nat
are atop of such highly regarde'
contenders as Boston, Cleveland ant i
Detroit. Only the Yankees stand be- i
tween them and tl^e top rung. And
the distance is not great—a men
game and a half.
* Cuban righthanders Conrado Mar
rero and Sandalio Consuegra have
shared the role of staff mainstay
Each has won three against no de
feats.
Consuegra, for the first time thi
season, didn’t have it last night.
However, his mates made up for thi
lapse by clubbing six Cleveland
pitcher; for 17 hits to out-score the
Indians, 11-10.
^ The Nats teed off on Starter John
ny Vander Meer and Rookie Ger
ald Fa hr for eight consecutive hie
in the fourth inning to tally five
times.
Gene Bearden, recently sold by
Washington to Detroit, was the star
of the Tigers' 10-6 victory over the
Yankees which snapped the New
Yorkers’ eight-game winning streak.
Working in a relief role, the left-1
w handed knuckler set the Yank.; back
with five hits in seven innings to
gain credit for his first victory.
Bearden also starred at bat with a
home run. It was followed by four
baggers off the bats of Dick Kry
hoski and Hoot Evers.
Willard Nixon was the whole
works as the Boston Red Sox
blanked the Browns 2-0, in a S:.
Louis night game before a slim gath
ering of 2,495. The young right
' hander allowed only two hits and
got half of Boston’s four safeties
» off loser Ned Garver. One of Nixon’s
hits was his first major league
home run.
Brooklyn moved into third place,
edging the St. Loui.. Cardinals 4-3,
in the only game in the National i
League. It was played at night. The
Cards forced the game into over
time on a ninth-inning home run
by Catcher Del Rice, then took a
temporary 3-2 lead only to have
| the Dodgers bounce back with two
■ runs in their half of die 10th. Des
» > pite the loss, the Redbirds retained
their first place lead over Boston.
Other teams were not scheduled.

By Associated Press
Six weeks of play in the Pacific

my team that look1- like a likely
icnnant winner. From Portland in

E\ 'll San Francisco, which lost

hat slump.
The surprise team as of today h
Joe Gordon's Sacramento Salons.
Jordon, a great second baseman
with the New York Yankees and
lie Cleveland Indians, has Sacra
mento really hustling. —And Joe
linn elf, is showing the way for hi'
iien. He is secorid in hitting, with
1 mark of .367, being surpassed only
by Los Angeles’ Lcs Layton, whe
has .373. Gordon is tied With Max
We : of Los Angeles for the home ]
run lead with 13 and tops the league
in runs batted in with 39.
Ti e Sacs are also knocking the
cover off the baseball. They have
seven men in the .300 class.
While Portland and Los Angela
are having it out in Portland for the
next three days, Sacramento will
b: in Hollywood, trying to maintain
its hitting pace against the Stars’
uncertain pitching. Oakland plays at |
Seattle and San Diego at San Fran- |
cisco.
Brooklyn — The Brooklyn Dodg- ;

YOUR LIFE
‘DURANCE...
If you are covered by Social
Security, do you understand
clearly the benefits to which
you and your family would be
entitled? I would be glad to
explain them to you.
Social Security is a good
start in planning your family’s
financial future. Most men
want to do more. They want
to make certain there would
be enough money for them
selves to live in reasonable
comfort in their later years,
or for* their families in case
they died prematurely. The
best way to supplement Social
Security and provide well
rounded protection is through
life insurance.
Let me tell you about it.
