WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Jim Piersall robbed Johnny Temple of an extra base hit.

Gus Bell went yard and had 2 RBI and Warren Spahn completed the game without
help from the bullpen as the Washington Nationals man-handled the
Philadelphia-AL Athletics - the final score was 14 to 1.

Bell had a big day against Philadelphia-AL.  He tripled in the 2nd inning,
delivered a one-base hit in the 4th inning and bombed a two-run dinger in the
8th inning.  Washington had many opportunities throughout the game and scored
in 6 separate innings.  

Spahn(1-2) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Gordon Jones(2-4)
was charged with the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 6 runs in
5 innings.
