While Army Corpl. Thor Hazi OF
Washington, international table
tennis star, today acknowledged
congratulatory messages, one from
Vice President Wallace, an old
playmate, on having won the East
ern Open championship, this year,
biggest title in the game, he re-
membered keenly one Charley
Schmidt of New York-and one
shot.
The shot prevented Hazis erasure
from the Eastern tournament, spon-
sored by The Star, in the quarter
final round played at the Columbia
Table Tennis Center.
With Schmidt leading in games,
2 to l, and needing single point
TO clinch the match, Hazi returned
six well-hit shots, gradually ap-
preaching the table from a deep
defensive position and driving back
his opponent. On the seventh re-
turn Hazi lightly dropped the pellet
over the net and Schmidt, hot
footing, got there just in time to
smack it into the mesh and lose
the game, 1925.

Quick Kayo Of Wright
Puts Latsios in Line
For Rich Matches

Boy, what fights they can make
around here this summer with Nick
Latsios joining the list of local ia
vorltes that otherwise includes
Aaron Perry and Lew Hamburg.
They can mix these boys together
or bring in good outsiders against
them and the customers will flock
to the ball park.
Latsios, who weighed 149 pounds
last night and is the heaviest of
the three, probably carries a bit too
much poundage for those other lads,
but he could lop off a few pounds
to make better match of it. Or
match between Latsios and
Frankie Wills, who scales around
$50, might not keep the customers
away. Latsios is claiming Wills
D. c. welterweight title anyway.

Braves New Manager
Famed as Developer
OF Young Players
BY the Associated Pres.


BOSTON. Feb. 15.-Bob Coleman,
who cannot recall holding an easy
job during his "a years in baseball,
today appeared to be embarking on
the most dificult assignment of his
long career as the Boston Braves
new manager.
That noted minor league figure
famed as developer of young ball
players, has become Casey Stengers
successor with the signing of a one
year contract. Coleman was one of
Stengels coaches last season but
previously he managed farm teams
for the Braves, Browns and Tigers
and directed independent clubs in
four different leagues.
Coleman's major league expert
ence was brief for he spent part
OF two seasons with Pittsburgh and
one with Cleveland as a catcher
and also was Red Sox and Detroit
coach in 1926 and 1882
During his long service in the
Braves organization as manager OF
the Evansville Three-I club, Cole
man developed more than 20 of the
players now on the Braves roster
He also has been credited with
grooming many Detroit stars, in
cluding Hank Greenberg, Rudy
York, Tommy Bridges and Gee
Walker.
Except to state that he would do
his best, Coleman did not make
any promises when he received his
promotion from Bob Quinn, the
Braves president.
His first act was to appoint Tom
Sheehan, manager of the Minneap-
oils American Association club for the
past five years, as one of his coaches.
Sheehan, once a pitcher with the
Athletics, Yankees, Reds and Pi-
rates from 1918 to 1926, succeeds
Long George Kelly, who resigned
shortly after Stenpel.

Gen Patton, who incurred official
criticism after the conquest Of Sicily
when it was disclosed that he had
slapped an enlisted man, has stirred
up Congress anew with the remark
that Americans, British and Rus
slams are destined ito rule the
world"
The War Department reacted
swiftly, Secretary Stimson declar-
ing:
Gen. Patton was expressing his
own personal views. He was not
speaking for the War Department" I"
From Representative Knutson, Re-
publican, of Minnesota came this
protest:
Such statements Gas Gen. Pat
ton's) serve only one purpose and
that is to- prolong the war"
Representative Summers, Demo-
crat, Of Texas observed that the
general has been shooting of his
head again." and he added:
"If the American people will do
less talking we will do much better.
We need general buttoning up Of
our mouths"
There were other critical COM
ments, among them the suggestions
of Senators Brewster of Maine and
Wherry of Nebraska, Republicans,
that foreign policy statements should
be left to Secretary of State Hull
In London it was said that there
was no comment from Gen. Patton
following the War Department dis
claimer. An Army spokesman said
the normal channel for any Patton
