Fear CooIidge's Nine
In High School Race

Carl Heintel. coach OF the
Coolidge baseball team. really Is
serious when he means that his
team is too inexperienced TO take
the District public high school
title for the third straight time.
But Carl. like the boys in the Cry
Wolf" fable. finds his words fall
ing on deaf ears.
Last year. it may be recalled.
Heintel was crying. I've got only
three regulars back-Jess Hous-
ton at shortstop and Hank Green
berg and Jim Colliton in the out
field. We're too green
Nevertheless. the Colts went on
to the title, beating out Anacostia
in the final playoff round.
"I don't have any experienced
players" Heintel says these days.
IT only have two regulars back
John Brosnan at first base and
Catch Mike Mehalic."
Several observers agree with
Heintel, but no one Is talking out
loud. Even though the Colts lost
their league opener to Eastern,
they still figure as championship
contenders in what stacks up rs
a close race all the way.
The second round gets under

Woe for Mats, Badly

BOSTON. April 25.-Chin deep
in Illustration as the result Of
blowing six straight games, the
Mats have escaped the verbal snip
ing OF Washington fans only to
be confronted with the IRE Of
Boston's respected artillery. And
here in Fenway Park the Mats
have become accustomed to little
hospitality.
Washington today brought its
losing streak into q stadium which
has harbored little but grief for
the Mats in the last two years.
for Boston has belted Clark
Griffith's employees into defeat IL

Like Yankee Stadium. where the
Mats have stirred UP only three
victories in their last Is games.
Fenway Park is a distressing sight

the Aftermath Of their faltering
start. with the Mats the immediate
object of their wrath in q two
game series.
The Mats are angry. too. due to
their recent whippings, but II
their confidence hasn't been shat
tered it has been jolted severely.
WASHINGTON is averaging six h!ts
a game and in It's last five con-
tests has collected only % hits. In
seven games, the Mats have scored
Just 10 times.
In their first hve struggles the
Mats received highly commend
able pitching. but in their last
two tits they've seen Ray Scar
borough and Sid Hudson bat
tered. Against the Red Sox they
must rely on Paul Calvert and
Forrest Thompson to apply a
tourniquet to Washington's now
of misery.
For six innings yesterday at
Washington the Mats were get
ting no worse than a 3-3 tie with
Philadelphia, but Hudson blew up
in the midst Of a four-run out
burst In the seventh and the
Athletics swept the three-game
series with an 8-3 conquest.
Hudson Blows in Seventh.
Gil Coan's double after Eddie
Yost walked staked the Mats to
a 10 lead in the first inning. but
Hank Majeski's home-run shot
into left-field bleachers locked
the score in the fourth. Elmer
Valo's triple and singles by Ferris
Fain, Taft Wright and Majeski
projected the AS into 81 lead
in the sixth, but Clyde vollmer
pumped his first homer OF the
year into the left-field stands
after Yost walked to knot the
count In the Mats sixth.
With one out in the seventh
Hudson walked Eddie Joost and
Valo. Fain fetched them around
with q double OF the centerield

premises. Later in the inning
Sam Chapman tripled OF Dick
Welteroth to score two more
runs. The AS picked up another
run OF Dick Weik in the eighth.
when Fain walked and Wright
and Majeski singled.
Lou Brissie kept the Mats

fort, which is considered par for
the course against washington

in two starts before a crowd OF

NEW BOOK ON RIAL
OFF PRESS SOON

THE PRIDE OF THE MALAY
RACE, "a biography of DR.. Jose
Rial, by Rafael Palma (translat-
ed from the Spanish by Roman
Ozaeta), win be of fthe press on
June 10, fifty-third anniversary of
the death of DR.. Rial.
The name of Jose Rial is en-
shrined in the hearts of F1lipinos
to an extent comparable only to
those of Washington and Lincoln
in the Americans national tradi-
ton. Hero, patriot, and eventual
martyr, Rial epitomized during
his brief life (1S61-1S96) the finest
characteristics of the resolute and
valiant Malay race.
A man of magnetic personality,
he attracted to- him strong deter
mined spirits and united them in
common resolve. Yet Rial was no
mere agitator. Remarkably versa
tile, his talents included those of
the scholar, poet, novelist, doctor,
and Utopian-planner as well as
political genius.
Published here in America for
the first time, this biography by
Rafael Palma was awarded first
prize in a nationwide contest spon-
sored by the Philippine govern
ment in 1886.
The books sells for $500 and is
distributed by Reynolds & Puzon,
Inc, 240 Broadway, New York 4
