When the interhigh baseball
season opened in April, Coach
Gabe Ferazzi thought his Roose-
velt team had a good chance to
finish high in the league stand
ings, although he wouldn't ad-
NIT it.
He had only q nucleus of a
good team-Bill Wright, who he
thought was the best pitcher in
this area, Catcher Phil Perlo, a
converted shortstop, and Robbie
SmitherS, Sweet-Swinging right
fielder. Supporting this trio was
a gang of inexperienced. but
eager, players.
Now Ferazzi'S expectations have
panned out and his Riders will
meet Eastern for the champion
ship next Tuesday at Griffith
Stadium.
Riders Beat Coolidge.
Roosevelt, whose 6-2 record
tied Eastern and Western for
first place at the end of regular
season play, beat Coolidge, the
defending champion, Us. and
Eastern polished off Western,
Ill, in yesterdays f1rSt-round
playoffs at Griffith Stadium be-
fore crowd Of about 1000.
Roosevelt scored all it's runs
in the first three innings and
hung on while Coolidge rallied
in the fifth and sixth.
Wright got into trouble in the
fifth inning with a hit batsman,
two walks and a two-run double
by Allan Poms, plus an error and
passed ball and went to left
field to cool off while Peyton
German finished the inning.
But German ran into difficulty
in the sixth and Wright was
called back to the mound. The
swift right-hander then disposed
of four straight batters to end
the game, three of them by
strikeoutS.
Lead Roosevelt Attack.
Wright and Hal Pollin, who
has turned out to be Ferazzi's
dread and butter" in the bat
ting department, combined to
lead Roosevelt's attack, each
getting a triple and double. Pol
lin was more the opportunist,
however, driving in four runs
while Wright had to be content
with two RIBS.

The scrimmage was a good one,

location yesterday from Brook

to put the team on its toes. This
is one way to do it,"
