The first Indians' pitcher to turn in a complete game since August 17, Vince Colbert beat the Senators, 3-1, in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader. The second game was suspended after 16 innings by league's curfew with the clubs tied, 5-5, and will be completed in Washington at a later date. Colbert hurled a four-hitter with the Senators' run coming on a homer by Don Mincher in the ninth inning. Ted Uhlaender scored for the Indians after hitting a triple in the fourth and drove in another run with a single in the fifth.
