Porterfield Shines as Nats Hip
Red Sox 1 -0; Brooklyn Sets New
Mark With 1 0th Verdict in Ron
.:
By MILTON HICHMAN
Uniled Press Sports Writer
Eeasy-going Bob Porterfield,
popularly known as "Porter
house" around the Washington
clubhouse, could be just the man
who'll help the long-starved Sen
ators to a rare slice of first divi
sion money this year.
The Senators haven't cut into
the first division pot since 1946
but Manager Chuck Dressen
says he thinks they'll do it this
year, particularly "if Porter
: field comes through for us."
Porterfield came through like
a charm Thursday when he
struck out seven batters, bore
down especially well in the
pinches and pitched the Senators
to a three-hit 1-0 triumph over
the league-leading Boston Red
Sox. Only one Boston runner,
Faye Throneberry, got as far as
third base but he was stranded
there in the ninth inning as Bul
let Bob retired Harry Agganis
on a fly ball for the final out
Porlerfield's Second Win
The Senators broke through
Tom Brewer, for the. only run. of
the game and their first run in
20 consecutive innings in the
ninth on a walk to Roy Sievers
nlus back-to-back singles by
Eddie Yost and Pete Runnels.
The victory, Porterfield's second
of the season, reversed a 1-0 Red
Sox triumph of the night before
and gave Washington a .500
mark for six games so far this
vear
George Kell and Mike Forniel-
s combined talents to give the
White Sox a 9-1 victory over the
Tigers. Kell smashed a grand
slam homer off loser Ned Garver
in the third inning while For-
nieles limited that Tigers to live
hits. Detroit's lone run was a
result of Al Kaline's sixth in
ning home run. Chicago moved
to within a game of paceetting
Boston by winning.
In the only other game sched
uled in 'the American League,
the New York Yankees crushed
the Baltimore Orioles, 14-2. Bob
Turley, acquired, from the Ori
oles during the winter, haa
thines all his own way as he
struck out eight, gave up only
five hits and was given a four
run cushion in the first inning.
Hank Bauer, smashed a homer
for the Yankees leading off the
first inning and Les Moss con
nected for one for Baltimore in
the ninth. Lou Kretlow, first
of three Oriole hurlers, ' was
charged with the loss,
nadoers Win Tenth
' The Brooklyn Dodgers tram
pled the Philadelphia Phillies,
14-4, thereby setting a modern
major league record of 10 con
secutive victories at the start of
th season.
Routing Robin Roberts with a
seven-hun rally in. the seventh
innine. the Dodgers erased the
previous record of nine victories
in a row at the outset held joint
ly by themselves, the Giants and
the St. Louis Browns, who did it
last in 1944, the year they won
their only pennant.
Brooklyn hammered three
Phillies' pitchers for 17 hits, in
cluding home runs of Jackie
Robinson, Duke Snider, Sandy
Amoros and Don Zimmer, who
also had two doubles and a sin
gle. Russ Meyer started for the
Dodgers but was relieved by Joe
Black in the third. Black was
the winner. '
The only Other National Lea
gue game scheduled, New York
at Pittsbugh, was postponed be
cause of wet grounds.

nets, rated by some observers as
the finest defenseman in Ameri
can Hockey League history, was
the only unanimous choice on
the AHL 1954-55 All-Star team
announced today. - "
It marked the" fourth straight
year the 3 1-year-old Mathers
had been named in the mythical
sextet and the second season in
a row he was a unanimous selec
tion. ..
Pittsburgh, the regular sea
son and playoff ' champion, also
placed goalie Gil Mayer on the
first team. Mayer, who had two
brief trials with the parent To
ronto Maple Leafs as did Math
ers, has been the leading goalie

ner-up to Mathers in the voting,
getting 28 points.' 'i
