Everything happens to the Mats
and in punches. They lose two ball
games in an afternoon, they fall
three games of the 500 mark and
an important member of the cast
goes on the injured list. Worst of
the blows'ts the loss Of George Case,
fleet outflelder and star baserunner,
for maybe more than a couple Of
weeks Chosen for the All-Star
game in Pittsburgh July II he very
likely won't play.
When Case threw his tricky left
arm out Of the shoulder socket while
reaching for Ken Keltner's drive
that bounded of the barrier OF a
left field box at Grifflth Stadium to
become a home run yesterday he
hurt his shoulder more severely
than he did when he popped the
arm while putting on his topcoat
after a double-header In Philadel-
phia early in May.
Then Case was out of action for
IS days. How long he will idle this
time neither the club surgeon nor
Trainer Mike Martin would predict.
but both regarded this injury the
most serious the player has sus-
tanned.
Loss Of Case Weakens Mats.
Loss Of Case could be disastrous
to what chances the Mats may have
OF improving their position In the
American League race. 1t involves
the use Of either Joe Vosmik or Bob
Ortiz In the outfield which means a
weakening of the defense. vosmik
lacks speed afoot and Ortiz is far
from a polished fielder.
It also is damaging to the Mats
attack-if their feeble offensive may
be 50 termed. With his speed and
base-stealing knack Case carries q
big scoring threat whenever he gets
on. He disturbs a pitchers poise
and keeps the catcher fidgety
There are other fast men on the
club, but none Is a tallying menace
such as Case.
1t was In the fourth inning OF the
first game that Case was hurt. Two
were out and there was no one on
the runway when Keltner hit down
the left field line. The hit looked
no more than a two-bagger as 1t
bounded of box wall, but as Case
reached for the ball when he neared
the line pop went the arm.
Case, In torturing pain, fell and
the ball rolled on to left field with
Gil Torres and Johnny Sullivan In
pursuit. Case struggled to his feet,
but fell again. BY this time Keltner
had rounded third with an easy
home run ahead.
Fluke Home Run Hurts.
As the game turned out. that flpke
hit cost the Mats the game for they
rallied to tie the score only to be
beaten by Cleveland's Indians. 4-3,
in 10 innings. In the second set to,
the Mats didn't get a hit until the
