The Westinghouse. Louis
game scheduled today was post
poned due to wet grounds.

Events that materialized yesterday
were ludicrous. Mickey Vernon mis-
judged an AL Zarilla pop fly into Q
double that touched OF q three-run
st. Louis rally. Joe Grace was picked
|on third base and staggered an ordi-
nary Bob Diliinger fly into double.

Fit" when Jeff Heath hoisted q pop
lily over shortstop. si1en saw the ball
fall safely back OF second base. Stan
Spence stumbled and fell while
pursuing routine fly ball on the
bat of Walt Judriich.
IN A treacherotis wind, bordering on
cyclone proportions, was responsible
for most Of the faulty fielding. The
wind, coupled with q drenched dia-
mond, made a farce of the game,
but. couldn't hide the fact that
Washington S pitching was wretched.
Walter Masterson was dubbed
for 10 hits before he was shelled
from the mound in the fifth inning,
and Ray Scarborough, Luther Knerr
and Scott Cary brought little Inn
provement to the scene. Washing
tons hurting was belted for 20 hits,
including brace of successive home
runs by jeff Heath and another by
Rookie Ray Coleman.
Out of that chaos, however, Ossis
Bluege may discover some solace.
His Mats have mustered "a hits in
their last two games, which may be
an indication they are emerging
from a prolonged batting slump.
Grace wtlacked the Mats first homer
of the yaar leading off In the first
inning. and the Mats later inserted
four doubles into the proceedings
among their Is hits.
Priddy Gets Another Hit.
Even Jerry Priddy, hitless in 10
consecutive times at bat, singled on
his last trip to the plate. Jerry
tipped his hat to the customers,
kissed first base and later was car
ried about the clubhouse on the
shoulders Of his mates in celebra-
tion of lifting his batting average
from .063 to .081.
That the Mats remain CHEEKY de-
spite their slow start is q tribute to
them. They are capable of better
