and the trucks roared over the
highways-until the leading truck
suddenly encountered a low over
head bridge. All action stopped
while measurements were taken.
Perspiring officers decided the
convoy couldn't pass under by a
matter of an inch or more. They
conferred and sent for a demolition

he knew how the convoy could

Three On a Base
HERE are other examples of
human frailty, such as the large
Tennessee post office that was
erected with but one oversight -
no slot to drop a letter; or the
million-dollar movie-publicity
campaign to popularize the slogan,
Movies Are Your Best Enter
tainment," which had to be drop

spelled MAYBE; or the supreme
baseball boner of 1926 when two
Brooklyn Dodger players man
aged to slide into third base from
opposite directions, only to find
it already occupied by a third
Brooklyn base runner.
But at this point it might be
wholesome to cite case of human
infallibility, just to reaffirm our
faith in mankind. Though such
cases are ever rarer than blunder-
busts, we believe we've uncovered
one that should stand near the
head of the list:
In 1859, the great inventor Peter
Cooper directed the construction

that some day the elevator was

By Burton Hawkins

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 17.-Those
fellows with the washboard brows
in the Mats training camp are
Washington's bosses, who suddenly
have reason to become alarmed over
the failure Of their highly-prized
chattel, AL Kozar, to create any ex-
citement with his bat. The deep
burrows in their foreheads have been
ploughed by the second baseman's
timid behavior at the plate.
In four exhibition games Kozar
has stirred up two singles as his
contribution to the Mats puerile at
tack and there is growing conster-
nation in the official family over his
inability to break loose. His 1872
batting after IL trips to the plate
isn't in keeping with earlier reports
on his hitting prowess.
Those two singles constitute the
only occasions Kozar has been able
to whack baseball beyond the in
field. He has struck out three times
and drilled into a double-play, all
of which has lent no enchantment
to the trim Slavish product of the
Southern Association.
For the Mats, Kozar represented
the key figure in the deal which
sent Stan Spence to the Boston Red

Rollers Tonight

The Washington Caps meet the
Providence Steamrollers at Uline
Arena tonight, the Bullets in Bal
timore tomorrow night and be New
York Knickerbockers here Satur-
day to end their 48-game BBA
schedule. And each of these tilts
is vital to the Caps play-off hopes.
Biggest surprise in the Caps TO-
81 victory over the Boston Celtics
last night in Boston was the play
of Jack Tingle, who shared Cap
scoring honors with Bob Feerick at
IL points. Tingle. who has been
gracing the bench all season, en-
tered the game in the final period.
Tingle and Dick OKeefe, who
starred in the Caps victory over
the st. Louis Bombers last Satur-
day at Uline, have been watching
the games from the bench all sea-
son, fact which causes observers
to wonder if Coach Red Auerbach
has missed the boat.
The Caps now trail the Baltimore
Bullets by ~ games. A victory to-
night over the Steamrollers and to-
morrow night over the Bullets would
deadlock third place. Baltimore has
two games remaining-with the
Caps and Providence on Saturday.
The Caps won last nights game
in the first period. 1t took the
Celtics 512 minutes to score, and at
that point Washington led, TO, At
the end of the period the Caps held
a 20-8 lead.
All the Caps crashed the scoring
column. Big John Mahnken put in
II points, John Norlander and Irv
Torgoff 9 each; Freddie Scolari, 8;
Dick O'Keefe, 7; Bones Mckinney,
s, and Sonny Hertzberg, 2.
Boston's Ed Sadowski dropped in
18 points and Mel Riebe l6, but the
other Celtics had hard time of it.
The Caps should beat Providence
tonight. The Rollers lost last night,
1O0-7S, in Providence, as Philadel-
phias Howl Dallmar registered 80
points and Joe Fulks contributed 27.
The hapless Rollers have won
only six games, but boast two of the
leagues brightest stars in Ernie
Calverley and Kenny Sailors. One
