Senators Notch Eighth Straight Win On 1 Hitter
New York, May 11-[U.P.]—Nothing is quite so mystifying in this new major league season as the sudden rise of the supposedly atrocious Washington Senators, who have won eight straight games and threaten to keep it up.
They even have owner Clark Griffith and manager Joey Kuhel baffled as to what has brought about their amazing reversal of form.
Griffith, taking note of the fact that the usually punchless Senators have hit 22 homers, more than any other club in the majors except the New York Giants, said "we've got a real power laden club all right—now if we just had a little pitching."
Kuhel, an amateur magician, who is suspected of having employed his legerdemain in the current winning streak, took a little different view of the club's potentialities.
of the club's potent offense.
"We're not going to roll over and play dead for anybody," he said. "We've got plenty of pitching and a good defense, if we can just start hitting."
So-pity the poor fans and other experts who try to figure out why a club so well backed for the lower second division should be playing great ball when even the owner and manager can't decide what makes it click.
Tuesday there wasn't any doubt about why they won. Little Mickey Haefner, pitching in near freezing weather beat the world champion Indians, 1 to 0, with a one-hit performance, the best of his big league career. It was the third straight for the Nats over the world champions.
The fans were denied the usual suspense of a near no-hitter because Larry Doby got a clean Cleveland single in the first inning, but thereafter Haefern was superb. He gave up four walks and hit Doby to put him on again in the ninth, after which a sacrifice and an infield out sent the Negro center fielder to third base. But Haefer nore down then and retired the dangerous Ken Keltnier to end the game.
Steve Gromek, the loser, also pitched fine ball, scattered seven hits. A single by Sherry Robertson, a walk, and Eddie Robinson's single gave Washington the only run it needed in the fourth.
The Browns finally ended a 10-game losing streak, waiting until the last of the ninth to put over a 2 to 1 victory against the Red Sox when Gerald Priddy hit a home run, one of three hits against loser Charley Stobbs. Red Embrey gave up four hits, one a homer by Ted Williams, in winning his first game after four straight losses.
The Yankees made the most of six hits to defeat the Tigers, 6 to 1 at Detroit and increase their American league lead to four full games. Allie Reynolds won the distance for the first time since 2008, just six hits. The Yankees scored their victory over Detroit ace, lefty Hal Newhouse.
At Chicago, the Athletics beat the White Sox in a night game, 5 to 0.

Rockhurst Hawks Beat KU 9 To 6 In Surprise Win
Rockhurst's Hawks wasted very few scoring chances in racking up a 9 to 6 upset victory over the Kansas Jayhawkers Tuesday at Rockhurst.
The Hawks jumped starter Carl Ebel for four runs on two hits and three walks in the second inning and moved ahead 5 to 4 in the last of the third with another run on a walk, passed ball, and single.
Dick Gilman came in at the start of the Rockhurst fourth and held the Hawks without a hit for three innings. But the Central Conference club scored an unearned run in the seventh and shoved over three in the eighth on a walk and three hits.
The Jayhawks bunched all their hits and runs in the first, third, and ninth innings. Rockhurst fastballer Jim Quinlan, who lost 4 to 2 to K.U. in the first game of the season here, gave up eight hits and received excellent support most of the time.
In the first, Lou DeLuna walked and Bud French beat out a bunt. Floyd Temple rapped a hard drive to center, scoring both men. Ebel walked the bases full with one down in the second. John Staplen rapped a two-run single and Joe Gravino a two-run triple to send Rockhurst ahead 4 to 2.
Ed Silverman's single scored Larry Messina, who had walked, to send Rockhurst ahead after three innings. In the seventh the winners made it 6 to 4 as Quinlan reached second on Carl Ellis's error, went to third on Staplen's sacrifice, and scored on Gravino's ground single.
Kansas tied it up in the top of the third. Dick Bertuzzi singled, Temple got on by an error, and Guy Mabry walked. Catcher John Goodson singled to center, driving in two runs.
The lower end of the Hawk batting order racked up three runs after John Rheem led off with a single. With two down in the ninth, K.U. started its final rally, scoring twice on consecutive singles by DeLuna, French, and Ellis.
