BY JOHN B. KELLER.

"You can't win 'em all" is the way
the Mats accepted that 4-to-2 de-
feat by Cleveland's Indians last
night and they aren't worrying par
ticularly over the batting slump that
has engulfed them in their last 16h
innings. Over this span the Wash
ington club has made just six hits
and two runs-and one of the runs
came without benefit of hitting. But
the Mats are confident they'll come
back quickly.
The Mats really are fortunate that
they got one victory out of the two
games in which Cleveland's pitchers
had the Indian sign on them.
Had it not been for the generosity
of Allie Reynolds, who failed to last
the first inning Tuesday night at
Griffith Stadium, Skipper Os
Bluege's charges now would be in
a tie for. third place and perilously
close to the second division of the
American League, instead of hold
ing the third berth cleanly and still
only full game back of the loop
leading World Champion New York
Yankees.
Right on top of the superb relief
trick by Steve Gromek over 7a-
inning stretch Tuesday night, the
Indians Vernon Kennedy last night
piled up game of regulation length
with only four hits. There simply
wasn't any zing in the Mats bats.
First Defeat for Wolff.
While the home side was helpless
before one of its former members,
the Tribe managed to smear Roger
VOLTS record with its first defeat.
A bit more of hitting by his mates
might have made it four straight for
Roger, as despite the 10 hits he per-
mitted, 1t was not until the eighth
inning that the opposition punched
four for three runs to take the
ball game.
The Mats were first to tally and
they did so without the semblance
of a safety. Johnny Sullivan opened
the third with a walk, moved to
third when Catcher George Susce
uncorked wild throw when trying
to nip the Nat off first base and
scored on Jake Powell's hoist to the
left fielder.
The way Wolff was going at the
time, that run looked pretty big
But after two were out in the sixth
the Indians got to him for a tying
tally. Roy Cullenbine got a pass
and Geoffrey Heath doubled, and
all was even.

Pensiye's 5 SfabIemate
Is Seen by Some as
victor's S Superior
BY oRLO ROBERTSON.


NEW YORK, May 18.-There's an
argument going the rounds of rae
ing circles over the relative merits
Of Pensive, the Kentucky Derby
and Preakness winner, and Twilight
Tear, q filly with q record of six
straight victories, but Ben Jones will
have not part Of it.
Missouri Ben Is the one man who
could settle the argument, since he's
the trainer of the two ace 3-year-
olds from Warren Wright's Calumet
Farm, but II he knows which Is the
better he's not saying. His answer
to the question after Twilight Tear
cake-walked home In the Acorn
Stakes at Belmont Park was:
If somebody wants to arrange q
match race between the pair, win
ner take all, I'll gladly see that both
OF them get to the post"
Derby Victory Starts Argument.
The debate started after Pensive,s
surprise victory in the Derby. The
report got around, although all offi-
cial members of the stable refuse to
be quoted, that Jones left his best
Derby candidate in the East when
he decided to withhold Twilight
Tear for filly stakes.
Backers of Twilight Tear, added
fuel to the discussion when she cas-
lily won the Pimlico Oaks, but sup

got their first glimpse of the filly
yesterday as 3-year-old and they
left Belmont wondering if Twilight
is not the better of the two since
she travelled the mile in 1877 and
easily hung 1t on nine others OF her
sex and age.
And then just to confuse the issue
Ia little more, Wright differs with
his trainer over the top 3-year-old
filly in his stable. He favors Miss
Keeneland, lightly campaigned 80
far this season but one that figured
right along with her stablemate last
year.
Records About Even.
Because of his victories In the
Derby and Preakness, Pensive has
the better money record. He has
picked up $139,475 of the $26l TAO
earned this year by the bearers of
the red deviled silks. Twilight Tear.
beaten only in her first start of
1914, and then by older horses, has
won, $34,780. As 2-year-old the
FLY won $34,610 and Pensive SIS 400.
There is little to choose between
their won and lost records. Pensive
has been out of the money only once
in IA trips to the post since he came
to the races last year. Twilight has
raced Is times and never finished
farther back than third.

Handy Man in Pinch

By the Associated Press.
Redhead Ralph Kress, Toronto's
handy man who's been plaguing
pitchers since 1927, still is today, at
81 years of age, tough hombre at
the plate.
He proved this yesterday In the
eighth inning in the role Of pinch
hitter when he smacked home run
with two mates aboard to give To-
ronto an lilo victory over Newark.
Kress, a veteran OF 10 years of
major league ball, has appeared
in every position in the Toronto
lineup except catcher.
Last year he won three games
and lost two as a hurler and this
year has appeared several times in
relief on the mound.

jerky motions, whence the nick
name, may have something to do
with it, too.
Standing feet II inches tall
and weighing only 145, he looks
to be somewhat younger edition
of Mack himself. Maybe that's
why the old gentleman took an
immediate shine to him.

Gil Torres skied out. Then Mike
Guerra walked-or rather ran, for
the fourth ball was wild pitch and
he managed to make second. Here
Manager Lou Boudreau ordered Sui
Ivan purposely passed to bring up
Wolff. Rogers best was a grounder
to the first sacker.
Kennedy was hit by the first two
up In the eighth, giving the Mats
chance to go places. Powell
singled and George Myatt doubled
But Bob Ortiz struck out, so Powell
didn't get home until Stan Spence
lofted to the left fielder. Kuhel
could do nothing to advance Myatt.
Hope f1ared again for the Mats
when Torres opened the ninth with
a two-bagger. But the next two
batters got Gil only to third base
and Pinch-batter Hills Layne
swung Justify for a third strike.
The Mats just weren't there
against Kennedy's pitching.
Susce Is Champ Heckler.
Susce probably is the worst pest
in the league when it comes to
bothering umpires. He was at odds
continually with Hal Weafer, arbiter

WAR MARRIAGES
 CREATE PROBLEM
Mental Hygiene Director in Broadcast Points Out
 Other Complications

'There Is no denying that host of problems have been created by war marriages" declared James M. Cunningham, M. D., Director, Bureau of Mental Hygiene, in the weekly broadcast of the Connecticut State Department of Health, Tt would be productive to investigate some of the problems of such mar riages to see what could be done toward inSuring their stability for the future"
 Children present the greatest problem to the war marriage, con- tinued Dr. Cunningham. Although the mother has greater respon- sibility for their care, a good father is essential to the development of a child's stable personality. Yet many children may never see their father, or may be separated from him for long periods of time. In addition, other children are travelling over the country, from camp to camp, being cared for under the most trying conditions. Considerable attention has been given to their physical well-being, but all too little to what is happening to the personality de- velopment of such children, This problem Is particularly challenging in that they are the citizens of to- morrow.
 As a result of nasty war mar riages, many couples face the prob lem of becoming really acquainted after a period of separation, during which each has built up fantasies about the other. Unlike the normal marriage, the transition to reality will occur abruptly. Many dis charged servicemen, for example are wondering what their wives will think of them as civilians, without the glamour of Q uniform.
 Doctor Cunningham pointed out that many people feel that war time marriages are the result of being carried away by emotions, but this is true also of marriages in peace time, Because peoples emotions are involved, arguments for or against marriage, are not likely to change any couples mind on the subject.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 TO PLACE ORDER
Petitions Court Approval on Purchase of AZ Diesel
 Locomotives

The New Haven Railroad an- nounces that, subject to Court ap- proval, 1t has just placed orders for Q total of forty-two new Diesel loco- motives. The purchase was author ised by the Trustees after the com pletion of a careful survey of power and trafflc requirements.
 Diesels to be purchased under this authorization include twenty 2,000 horsepower road locomotives, twelve 1000 horsepower switchers and ten 44-ton switchers. Orders for the twenty road locomotives and twelve switchers were placed with the American Locomotive Company - the order for the Alton switchers with the General Electric Company.
 The 2,OOo horsepower road Diesels are similar to the twenty.SiX al- ready In operation on the New Haven and which are used in pairs, developing 4,O00 horsepower It will be remembered that the New Haven Railroad was the first in the country to use these Diesels interchangeably In freight and pas- Senger service.
 These equipment orders are, Of course, subject to Court approval, after hearing of the Trustees peti- ton in the reorganization proceed ings for the road. The court hear ing will be on April 3rd.
