Bird Seed: After losing to the Tigers, the Orioles broke out of their five-game slump by “strolling” to victory over the Senators. The Birds coaxed three Nat pitchers for six walks in the eighth, which, without the benefit of a single hit, gave them three runs and a 4 to 2 win. . , . Despite a crowd of 47.890 on May 21 in New York, the Orioles* road attendance was 43,276 behind last year's pace after sixteen dates. . . . Gentile was out only six days with his pulled leg muscle. . . . Jackie Brandt had not returned to the lineup as of May 22 after spending nine days on the shelf with a sore hand. . . . Richards was ejected for the fourth time this year for arguing on balls and strikes with Umpire John Rice on May 21 in New York. . . . The Orioles already have equaled their victory total of last year in New York—One. It was mainly thanks to Catcher John Blanchard, who dropped a pop foul, paving the way for a bases-loaded single by Steve Barber in the 3 to 2 triumph on May 21. . . . Gus Triandos missed one game with a banged hand, while Russ Snyder missed several with a muscle spasm in his back.. . . Jack Fisher apparently is going to inherit the title of Oriole Hard-Luck Pitcher from Hoyt Wilhelm. Already Fisher has been the victim of eleven unearned runs, nine more than any other member of the staff. Errors by Jerry Adair and Marv Breeding paved the way for four unearned runs on May 22 in New York, when the Yanks got only five hits off Fisher but won, 8 to 2.■
