BOSTON, May 1.-The man

that the pari-mutuel plant may

You see, Suffolk Downs is 60

that the uniforms will be blue
smocks.
For the So positions open to
women, more than TOO stormed

them last week, and some of

Each applicant was given a
stop watch test, consisting of
adding up three long columns of
figures and quickly handling
bundles Of money totaling $40,
which were passed out at the
start of the test. And just to
make it a fair tryout, several

BOSTON, May 1.-Among many
baseball items that might benefit
Os Bluege's pretty well-battered
Mats is elementary instruction in
base-running. Unless they pick up
in this important department of the
game their stay here for a three
game series with Boston's Red Sox
could be highly improbable.
Bluege believed he had a flock Of
pitchers ready to give the Boston
opposition fits when his outfit strag-
gled into town today and he had
hope that the Mats hitting might
be more productive than it has
since the start of the champion
ship campaign.
But he wasn't overoptimistic
about progress in the Red Sox's
Fenway Park if his Washingtons
went daffy on the base paths as
they did at home yesterday when
dropping pair of tight tilts to the
none too good New York Yankees.
From Washington viewpoint
the only things not bad about the
double-defeat were the closeness of
the scores-2-1 in the first game
and 30 in the secondhand the
brand of pitching put out by Mickey
Haefner, left-handed knuckler, after
spotting the Yankees their runs In
the opening frame of the initial
encounter.
Base Running on Bad Side.
Everything else, particularly the
work of the Mats on the runways
was smelly. That goes for the kind
of pitching Earl Wynn did, too. in
sustaining his first defeat of the
year.
AS to the base running, the Mats
waited until the last inning to do
their funny stuff in the first fray
Then with run in after two were
out, George Myatt, a fast man, on
the initial sack and Stan Spence
always likely to hit a long ball, at
bat it happened.
Myatt set sail for second with the
potential tying run in his feet, only
to be cut down by Catcher Rollie
Hemsley's throw. And cut down
easily, too. We have it on good
authority that no hit-and-run play
had been hung up. But Myatt,
with the Mats needing run to dead
lock the game, simply threw away
that possibility.
It was worse in the second setto.
Then the Cubans contributed the
dizzy doings. Bob Ortiz, in the
fourth, insisted on trying to run
from first to third base on an in
field hit and was neatly clipped for
the third out. He took off again
in the seventh, this time from sec
ond base, when the Mats had two
on and none out and needed three
runs to tie. This time Bob made
third, but only because the Yanks
Don Savage dropped a good peg
from Catcher Mike Garbark.
Sloppy in Second Setto. -
The worst running of the double
bill came later in this seventh ses-
sion when Mike Guerra tried to
stretch his double to a triple. He
had just driven in the second run
of the round and his own crossing
meant a tied score. But with the
ball almost in from the outfield
when he reached second base, Mike
persisted in continuing to third. The
rn1oy uyoc fharo xua11 ohaod of him
and what would have been a tying
run when Johnny Sullivan followed
with a double became only the Sec
ond out
There have been several other in
stances of stupid base running by
the Mats since the season began,
but none as stupid as those that
bobbed up in that second setto yes
terday.

Prove Stupid Base Runners

Lie AuSI game ulOSGiy WIS y =
pitching duel between Ernie Bon-
ham and Haefner with both pitch
ers going great guns after Haefner
yielded four singles that produced
the Yankees runs at the outset.
Stirnweiss hit Haefner's first pitch !
and sent the ball under Torres at
third for a single Stainback hit
the next pitch to center for base
and Etten sacrificed Savage rifled
single down the third base line
and the two runs crossed. Then a
hit by Lindell was wasted.
Haefner Good After First.
Thereafter Haefner gave only 1--WE
well-scattered hits and a base on
balls. But Bonham never gave the
Mats real change until the ninth.
Up to then he gave up only four
singles and three of these were
followed by double plays.
Two were out in the ninth when
Case got life as the Yank short
stop pegged wildly George stole
and got home as Myatt hit. Then
Myatt's foolish bid for second en-
sued.
Wynn had rocky start in the
second game when two hits were
followed by wild streak. Sulh-
vans error that put Stainback on
first started the Yankees on their
way. Metheny and Etten singled
and, with two gone, Wynn walked
Rosenthal and Milosevich to force
a second tally across the plate.
In the fifth singles by Metheny
and Savage were mixed with Ros-
enthars long hoist to get over the
big run.
Like the Yanks, the Mats got
eight hits, all off the leftshsnded
Joe Page, who retired after Sulli-
vans double in the seventh. Sim
giles by Ortiz and Butka, brace OF
Yankee errors and Guerras double
| had preceded Sullys clout. Quite
a lot in one inning to produce only
two runs.
Hank Borowy then came along
to end the seventh and give moth
ing more than a pass in the next
two rounds.
Some Fielding Gems.
Fielding gems of the day were
contributed by Sullivan and Myatt
of the Mats and Levy of the Yanks
Sully made a one-hand stop Of
Levys drive in the third round of
the first game, held Etten at third,
then tagged the batter. In the
fifth, Levy went to the left field
corner for one-hand stab of Fer
lrell's drive. In the second game.
Myatt slapped at Milosevich's hot
one in the third to defect the ball
to Sullivan for a force play on
Rosenthal. 1t was flashy bit of
business.
There was little to tickle the
crowd of 31,057-a larger turnout
than on opening day-in the antics
of the Mats, but the double bill gave
the fans a chance to look over most
of the Washington club. All the
regulars were in action and with
the Yanks using left-hand pitcher
in the second encounter, Skipper
Bluege sent in his extra right-hand
hitters-Jake Powell to left field and
Eddie Butka to first base. He also
sent Mike Guerra, instead Of Rick
Ferrell, back of the bat for the first
time in the championship season.
1t was in sections that the Mats
reached Boston today, due to trans
portation difficulties. One group
came directly to town, reaching
here early this morning. A second
came by way of Springfield, Mass,
and didn't pull in until noon. A
third band had to change trains in
