LUNDQUIST New York (U.R) Washing ton fans, who don't have much "Vise to cheer about, were wonder ing today if perhaps Bob Porter field is their best pitcher since the days of the immortal Walter Johnson. Porterfield has a long way to go to earn that reputation but his 2-0 birthday one-hitter over the Red Sox last night gave him eight shutouts for the season, the , most by a Washington hurler since Johnson hurled that many 30 years ago in 1924. It was the third blanking job in a row for the mighty right hander rfom Newport, Va., giv ing him a string of 29 scoreless innings, one for every year of his life on his 29th birthday. Williams Out The one big thrill in his big night came with nobody out in the ninth after he walked Jimmy Piersall, who had spoiled his chance for a no-hitter with a single in the third. Up came Ted Williams as a pinch-hitter but the Red Sox slugger, who homered in a similar role yester day, struck out. Porterfield threw terrible Ted dy only four pitches. The ex-Yankee hurler put no one but Piersall on base. He struck out three in pitching to only 28 men. The guy who was snubbed by Manager Casey Sten gel for the all-star game now has shut out every team in the league except Detroit. Other Game In the only other major league game, the Braves cut Brooklyn's lead to 6V& games when they topped the Cardinals, 8-2, on a seven-hitter by lefty Warren Spahn, who won his 15th game. It was Milwaukee's sixth straight victory and it was achieved quickly when the Braves battered around in the second inning to score five runs. Johnny Logan, Andy Pafko, Del Crandall, and Sid Gordon made two hits apiece as .the Braves collected 11, but got only one in the four final innings off reliever Cliff Chambers.

If a split season is chosen, the number of hunting days must be 10 per cent fewer than for a consecu tive season. The penalty form erly was 20 per cent Although baiting of blinds is still outlawed, hunters will not be-punished for shooting within one half mile of bait as they have been for the last two years. In addition, a special "experi mental" season of 15 days in all flyways has been set on Wilson's snipe, or jack snipe, with bag and possession limits of eight birds. This season has been closed since 1941. Good Hunting Hour The decision to extend shoot ing hours to sunset instead of one hour before sunset as in re cent years resulted from consid erable pressure in the Central and Pacific flyways. A Fish and Wildlife service official said the last hour before sunset is a par ticularly good hunting hour, when "the ducks are moving." The starting time of one half hour before sunrise remains in effect in all flyways. On the opening day of each state s sea son, including each first day of split seasons, waterfowl and coot may not be hunted before noon. Other changes in waterfowl rules included: Pacific flyway: Season in creased five days over last year to 75-day season or two 43-day periods. Duck bag and possession limits 'increased from six to sev en, plus four pintails or widg eons.

Kimberly Kid, which is to be driven by two-time Hambleton ian winner Tom Berry, drew post 17. Elby Hanover, who will have Frank Ervin up, was even worse off, drawing post 20 and thus starting as the outside horse in the second tier. Three horses will start in a third tier.
