NO OTHER REASONS
Pitching Keeping
Dodgers on Top

LOS ANGELES, July 8 (AP)
Given nothing to go on but
the latest weekly statistics, you
could probably develop a first
rate case of tongue fatigue
without convincing anybody
the Dodgers should be higher
than fourth or fifth in the Ma
tional League standings today.
The statistics show:
/. That Los Angeles, as of
last week end, ranked eighth in
MI team fielding.
2. That the Dodgers were
second in team batting-but
that they were nearly 80 points
back of the leagues best hit
ting team, St. Louis.
8. That the Dodgers were
fifth in scoring, 70 runs be-
hind the leader.
4. That the Dodgers were
tied with the punchless New
York Nets for eighth place in
team home runs. The Dodgers
had hit 40 homers-only AZ
fewer than the San Francisco
Giants.
S. That only two DodgeI
pitchers were among the first
20 in the league in earned-rur
average.
What it boils down to is thai
the Dodgers are leading the
National League in practically
nothing-unless you want tc
count the standings. There
they are, three games in front
And, regardless of how many
men they have among the ERA
leaders, they got there mostly
on their pitching.
After the Dodgers beat Gin
cinnati 40 and 81 yester-
day, their pitching staff had
a remarkable earned-run aver
age Of 2.82. In their last eight
games, Dodger pitchers have
allowed only a dozen runs
an average of 112 a game. They
pitched four shutouts during
that span and the Dodgers won
seven of the eight games, al
though they averaged only a
little more than three runs a
game themselves.
In yesterdays first game,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-08

lefthander Sandy Koufa x
pitched his second consecutive
shutout and his eighth of the
season. He also picked up his
seventh straight victory and
his 14th of the year. He al
lowed three hits and let Gin
cinnati get only one man to
second base.
Sandy'S eight shutoutS are
the most ever achieved by a
Dodger pitcher in one season
and the most achieved by any
National League pitcher in one
year since Mort Cooper of St.
Louis had 10 in 1912.

Angered
As Pitch Hurts
Rookie Hart

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3
(AP). - Jimmy Hart looked
great at the plate in his major
league baseball debut Sunday,
yet his 1868 career with the
Giants may have ended the
day it started-victim of an
Grant pitch from Bob Gibson.
"A disgrace" Manager Alvin
Dark said after X-rayS showed
Hart suffered a fractured
shoulder blade when hit by a
Gibson pitch.
"An accident" the Cardinals
highlander maintained.
Hits Two Singles
Called up from Tacoma in
the Pacific Coast League on
Saturday, Hart saw his first
action Sunday in the first
game of a double-header. He
had two singles and two walks
in seven batting appearances
as the Giants edged the Cards,
AS, in Is innings.
In the second inning of the
second game, the rookie third
baseman tried to duck away
from tie pitch that hit his left
shoulder.
Ernie Bowman, the next
hitter, had to back away from
a pitch and when Gibson came
to bat in the top of the third,
the Giants Juan Marichal
whistled a pitch past his head.
Plate Umpire Al Barlick
charged to the mound with a
warning that brings an auto
matte $50 fine. 1t also brought
Dark from the dugout to pro-
test.
Wins ShutOut
After the game in which
Gibson hurled a SO shutout,
he said, 81 think Marichal was
throwing at me. If 1 had been
throwing at the kid, he would
have been justified. I wasn't.
They told me Hart had hit
pitches to the outside of the
plate and I was trying to throw
him close"
Dark refused to discuss the
matter after the game, except
to term the injury a disgrace.
After DR.. E. c. Sailer esti-
mated Hart would be out for
weeks, the manager added, Il
don't see how he can play the
rest of the year"
st. Louis Manager Johnny
Keane said, 81 don't think Glib
son threw at him. He doesn't
even know Hart. I do think
Marichal threw at Gibson in
retaliation.
During spring training, Dark
said his hurlers would throw at
pitchers who deck Giant bat
tiers.

AUTOMATICALLY SPEAKING
New Envoy From q Boring Country
By PAT SALTONSTALL
Star staff Writer

Star staff Writer
No one can say that the
backgrounds and training OF
foreign ambassadors IN
Washington aren't varied.
They include doctors and
lawyers, poets and politi-
clans. Many, ike their Amer
ican counterpartS, are career
diplomats.
One Of the latter can re-
call an experience which
clearly defined his position
on the precedence ladder: He
fed the boss ambassadors
dog and put q daily dab Of
perfume behind its ears.
Quipped Uruguay's Ambas-
sador Juan Felipe Yriart, ut
was good training for young
diplomats"-and. apparent
ly, standard procedure for
very junior attaches at Uru-
guay's London legation Just
before World War II.
To rivet the experience
more securely to memory,
kennel-keepers watched the
ritual with lofty British
aloofness. The pampered pet
was in quarantine, requiring
the young diplomat to
traipse through London's fog
to feed the dog.
The niece of that early
taSkmaster now works for
the new Ambassador. PreSum-
ably. she has no dog to
perfume at her switchboard
job at the chancery.
Arriving here in September
with his wife and children.
the Ambassador was one Of
the last to present his Gre
dentials to the late President,
just 10 days before his mur-
der.
AgOnizing Experience
Recalling that day in an
interview held the week Of
the tragedy, Ambassador Yri-
art described what he termed
the "agonizing analysis Of
what to say, what to empha-
size" which precedes the
meeting between an ambas-
sador presenting his creden-
tials and the chief of state.
1t may be the only talk he
will get with the President,
said this envoy with unknow-
ing prophecy. HE must de-
eide what is most important
the something to make
everything else flow"
For Uruguay, often called
the Switzerland Of the Amer
icas, the core issue is actual
ly an achievement. It's 40
year record of social develop
ment leaves problems largely
economic. said the envoy.
adding that social progress is
basic to stability"
Here then, was an ambas-
sador of a middle class ma
tion with no poverty. no ra-
cial or political problems
and scarcely more illiteracy
than exists in America COM
peting for attention with the
enormous need and social or
political ills of neighboring
Latin American countries.
A Prerequisite
We're a boring country"
thus he summed up the diff
Guilty in explaining the eco
nomic hurdles at large in his
country. Uruguay's first step
in participating in the AL
lance for Progress program
was an exhaustive report on
her economic health, aptly
called THE Diagnosis" Its
