Groce's Punch Keeps Coon Idle;
St. Louis Jinx Upsets Mats
By Burton Hawkins
Stor StoH Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-Disrupting
the neatly patterned plans of Man
ager Ossie Bluege is Outfielder Joe
Grace, who refuses to cooperate
in the development of young Gil
Coan, now ready to resume play
The only flaw, from Coan's view
point, is that there's no place
to put him in the Mats lineup.
Only few days ago Bluege was
saying it was too bad that Grace
must remain on the bench, where
he had been for two weeks after
iniuring his shoulder. Coan, too,
was out of the lineup with a
bruised hand but both were CAL
culated to be ready about the same
time and Ossie said the nod for
regular duty would go to Gil.
Against Cleveland, however, Bluege
summoned Grace to duty in a
pinch-hitting role and Joe respond
ed with sharp single that locked
the score and led to 80 victory
Grace returned to leftfield and in
six games has swatted at .318
pace, good enough to keep Coan
decorating the dugout.
Since joining the Mats "a games
ago, Grace has slugged at a 1870
clip and has succeeded in astound-
ing every one, including himself
Joe came to the Mats as a .227
hitter, but has lifted that mark to
.29o-a boost of SO points in his
five weeks with Washington.
Grace's Homer Is Wasted.
Bluege would relish giving Coan
needed experience. Gil figures
prominently in the Mats future, but
Grace Is making the present pay off.
Grace Dashed home run off
Nelson Potter here last night in
the first inning and when Gerry
Priddy and Mickey Vernon followed
with doubles the Mats owned a 20
lead, but for the second time in two
nights they permitted an advantage
to evaporate, Ultimately absorbing
a So trimming.

last two starts. will attempt to

faces the Browns. He'll be opposed
by Jack Kramer, who has won two
of his 10 triumphs at the Mats ex-
pense.
The Red Sox, who have mauled
the Mats in IL Of IA games, and the
Browns have been the principal rea-
sons why Washington hasn't been
able to climb out of fourth place.
st. Louis has Walloped the Mats in 10
of Is games this season.
Singles by Vern Stephens and jeff
Heath, Al Zarilla's infield tap and
Walt Judnich's single, tied the score
in the sixth inning last night at 2-2,
after Sid Hudson had hurled three
hit ball for five innings.
Browns Rout Mats in Eighth.
That status existed until the
eighth, when Stephens opened with
a double and Heath promptly
fetched him across with single
to center. The Browns sprayed
three more runs across in that
inning as Judnich walked, Frank
Mancuso and Mark Christman
singled and Third Baseman Billy
Hitchcock inserted a two-base wild
throw.
Washington made a mild sort of
threat in the ninth when Potter
loaded the bases with walks to
Stan Spence, Hitchcock and Pinch
hitter Cecil Travis, but with two
out, Tom Ferrick was rushed to
the mound and disposed OF Grace
on a pop fly to Stephens. The
Mats obtained only six hits off
Potter and Ferrick, while the
Browns nicked Hudson and Wall
ter Masterson for 10 hits.
Marino Pieretti has joined Early
Wynn and Roger Wolff on the list
OF ailing Washington pitchers.
Pieretti stumbled while chasing an
outfield fly in practice last night.
Wrenched his back and will be
lost to the Mats for an indefinite
period.
The Mats will trek to Chicago
tomorrow for a four game series
with the White Sox. Bobo Newsom
will open against the White Sox to-
morrow night.

BY the kssocioied Press

BROOKLYN, Aug. Eddie Dyer,
a drawing, soft-spoken Texan, is
on the baseball hot seat because his
favored Cardinals aren't tearing
apart the National League, but he
isn't bit panicky.

the Cardinal skipper said. Two and

but back where the Cubs are with
80 games to go is really tough"
Our club has been hurt plenty by
those three fellows jumping to Mex

Freddy Martin and Lou Klein, but
their action was a blow at our mo-
