The Senators won the .opener, 10-6. A. crowd of 39,276 moaned at Yankee Stadium when Bec quer, batting for relief pitcher Bill Fischer, looped a fly ball to left field which dropped at the feet of Norm Siebern. Some observers felt Siebern might have caught the ball if he had dived for it. It was the closest Turley had come to pitching a no-hitter since 1954 when he lost a similar bid in the ninth in ning while hurling for the Baltimore Orioles against the Cleveland Indians. In his latest near-miss, Tur ley struck out nine men and permitted only one Washing ton base-runner to reach sec ond base.

Like all managers of the Red Sox, Jurges was queried about his relations with tem peramental slugger Ted Wil liams. Williams has been in a slump all season and many ex perts think that he finally is washed up. "Oh, Ted's okay, he'll be slugging away soon," said Jurges. "I'm lucky to have him on my side.",. Jurges, who has signed a contract through the 1960 sea son, arrived in Baltimore in time to see the Red Sox last night but did not go to the park. The Sox lost, 6-1.
