Again, as in the first half, two quick victories by the Orioles have boosted the Birds into the first place slot in the loop. Thursday’s action found the first-half cellar-dwelling White Sox rise up and slap down the high-riding Senators, 13-9, on the strength of a six-run sixth inning. John Skrabanek weathered the Senator storm to take his initial win of fire campaign against two losses although he was rocked for 10 hits while walking four and striking out nine. Joe Williams took his third straight defeat as the Sox unloaded eight hits in the final inning, 14 during the con test. Williams also walked four and whiffed two. Skrabanek took hit ting honors with three hits, two doubles, in four trips, driving in four teammates.

Jimbo Robison absorbed the loss but six errors in the first three innings netted the Senators seven unearned runs and the vic tory. The first big threat by the Sox same in the sixth when they picked up three runs on two hits and two errors but Varvel settled down to whiff the final two foes for the victory. Varvel’s two singles led the Senator attack while the Sox were only able to manage four singles off Varvel. Orioles Win Tuesday the Orioles began their second half play with a bang, slapping the White Sox, 12-2, with Willie Edmonds picking up the win. The winners picked up a run in the first before exploding for eight runs on six hits and one Sox miscue in the second to ice the win. The Birds completed the rout against Duke Butler with three more tallies in the third.

The cir cuit clout was Davis’ first since June 9 and his sixth of the season.
