Harris Amazed

1878 Fans Turn Out
To Watch Musterson
Stop Yankee Hitters
BY Burton Howkins

Spec Shea will try to pro1ons
what is perhaps the most amaz-
ing pitching streak in the Mats
history tonight when he opposes
the Yankees Whitley Ford. and
if it doesn't materialize as an
other pulsating struggle it will
rank as an upset. ~
washington pitchers have gone
the distance in seven straight
games. They've limited their foe,
to. Is runs in IL games, turning
in five Shutouts and three times
holding the opposition to one run
Their four losses have been in
f1icted by Shutouts. =
In nine Of those II games the
Mats pitching hasn't permitted
run in the first seven innings
Last night, before q crowd OF
1878 that included Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, Walter: Masterson
held the Yankees hitless for 5A
innings and finally beat them,
2-1, with a gripping finish.
In jam In Ninth.
Masterson, who allowed only
five hits. struck out seven and
walked two in posting his eighth
win, was up to his spectacles in
trouble in the ninth when Hank
Bauer opened with a single and
Yogi Berra followed with another
that sent Bauer to third with
the tying run.
Walter disposed of Irv Noren
on a strikeout and Shortstop
Yoyo Davalillo extended his tiny
frame to the limit to haul in
Gene Weddings liner. Master
son then famed Billy Martin.
Il don't think I've ever had a
club show such pitching over this
long a period" Bucky Harris
said~ Bucky piloted the 1947
Yankees, who won 19 straight,
but many of those games were
won with typical New York
power rather than standout
pitching.
Five-Hit Average.
In the last dozen games Mats
pitching has yielded only IS hits
and % bases on balls. That's
a bit more than flve hits and two
walks a game and Harris un-
derstandably is bearning.
when we get good pitching
it figures to be an exciting
game" Harris said, because we
don't figure to get many runs. I"
Shea, who missed a shutout
against the Indians in his last
start because of a bobbled
grounder, will try to give the
Mats a fifth consecutive victory
over the Yankees at Griffith Sta
dium. He'll be bidding for his
10th win. while Ford will be seek
ing his 14th.
Shea will be making his first
appearance of the season against
his old teammates. He was
beaten in his only effort against
the Yankees last year.
Masterson, who has granted
only one run in 1S innings, was
Staked to a 10 lead in the first
inning when Mickey Vernon,
Keith Thomas and Clyde Voll-
mer singled successfully off Bill
Miller with two out. The Mats
made it 20 in the fourth when
Wayne Terwilliger's double and
Frank Sacka's single produced a
run and chased Miller.

Oftentimes, thou, this approach

1--WE know you are flattering us,
but we like it, anyway" And
so, Consul Brillantes has en-
deared himself among his coun-

appreciate. He is indisputably
the best public speaker among
all consular officials In Seattle,
past and present.

they always buckled down to

that the Filipino speaker can

forum, as witness the selec-
ton of General Romulo as
chairman of the general as
sembly of the nUited Nations"
AMIABLE, TACTFUL
Consul Brillantes is approach
able, amiable and tactful. His
perfect command of the English
language and the eloquence that
he possesses in public speaking,
his long legal training and ex-
perience at the bar and on the
bench all combine to equip
Consul Brillantes most adequate
ly for his present position and
for any diplomatic assignment.
He mains silent when prudence
so dictates; he becomes vocal
when the occasion demands it.
HAS BIG IDEAS
Brillantes has big ideas for
his countrymen in his consular
jurisdiction. Good, big, and am
bilious ideas! He has the quail
ties of an executive and the
genius of a strategist. He re-
mains calm, cool and collected
when subjected to adverse criti-
cism. He smiles when he seems
to have trouble. But he thinks
fast and acts with prudence.
FrOwns At Chiseling
ell lives up to his promise of
not conforming any discrimin-
alton in the discharge of his du-
ties. He acts with the least pos
sible delay ad gives the most
possible service. He seems fair
in his dealings. He frowns at
graft and corruption and chisel-
ing, even in his own office. He
respects laws and regulations, as
long as they remain the laws
and regulations.
Like a PoliticO
As a mixer, he is a replica of
the typical Filipino pOlitico. He
eats with his people in the old
tradition of the home country.
He goes out to the farms and
chats with his countrymen over
barbecued pigs or roasted goats.
He jokes with all at proper oc-
casions, and still retains the dig
nifty of his official status.
HUMBLE AND EFFICIENT
He aims to perpetuate the
continual harmony and cooper
alton among his people, and bet
ter understanding between his
people and those others with
whom they live. Brillantes is
humble, as very few Filipino Of
ficials are; he is efficient and
conscientious in his duties, as
not very many Filipino officials
are. He respects the other fell
lows opinion, but is likewise
quick to present a counter-argu-
ment.

worthy of the position he holds,
and has demonstrated compe-
tence in the discharge of his

The cellarites inherit all of Bos-
tons dates, with Milwaukee TAX
ing over Pittsburgi's schedule.
This involves only minor changes
of some night engagements but
Branch Rickey's early hesitancy
during the meeting may have
stemmed from this fact:
Pittsburgh. as an Eastern
member and heir to the Bos-
ton dates, will meet the three
foremost contenders in the Ma
tional League in the first IS
games of the season. This means
that the Pirates, who won only
AZ and lost 112 games last year
and finished 5412 games off the
pace, must play the Dodgers,
Giants and Phillies exclusively
during the first two weeks.
All-Star Game Switched.
AS a by-product of the de-
cision, the All-Star game which
had been scheduled for Braves
Field in Boston for July IA, was
switched to Cincinnati.
Perini had bid successfully for
the All-Star games as part of a
final effort to entice Boston fans
to patronize his Braves. In addi-
tion, and Notwithstanding the
fact that he lost between $780,
600 and 100000 in Boston last
year, Perlnl spent willingly to
acquire ball players. including
Andy Pafko, star outf1elder from
Brooklyn.

Boston contractor said, that
Boston wasn't going to support
us. Our season ticket sale was
even lower than last years and

282, 1000 people at home.
Giles, who announced the Ma

to point out that Perini's fine

to mean willingness to spend
money, was an influence in our
decision.

Others present here yesterday,
when the National League unan-
imously voted President Lou Pc
rini permission to transfer his
team from Boston, were inclined
to think that a SeaSon-long
home turnout of 100000 to .7O0.-

Perini said:
Boston, Milwaukee or Osh-
kosh, we have to draw a million
people to break even."
Immediately after his victory
at the meeting. Perini joined a
group of American Association
club owners and agreed to a
$4,000 settlement to Offset esti-
mated loss of revenue by the
removal of Milwaukee. The Brew

'0ne-and-0n Rule
Kept by Basketball
Rules Committee
By the Assoeioted Press

KANSAS CITY, Mar. 19.-The
basketball rules committee de-
cided today to keep the present
penalty rules. including the
much-maligned "one-and-one"
regulation, for another year.
The group, known as the Ma
tional Basketball Committee of
the United States and Canada
and representing the colleges,
high schools. AAU, YMCA and
Canadian groups, made no radi-
cal change in the present stand
ards.
H. B. Porter Of Chicago, Sec
retary, said the committee knew
that lot of people were not
satisfied with "the one-and-one
rule" but there is not even a
good majority favoring a rea-
sonable substitute.
Opposed by Coaches, Al.
Coaches voted four to one
against the year-old regulation
which on a common foul-one
committed not on the act Of
hooting-permits the offended
player to take another shot at
the basket if he misses the first
free throw. The rule also speci-
f1es that in the last three min
utes two shots shall be awarded
on every common foul, and the
shots can not be waved. Previ-
ously the penalty for such a
foul was one shot.
The extent of the coaches and
rules makers confusion over
what should be done to perfect
basketball was shown by the re-
suits of a QUESTIONABLE sent not
only to college coaches but to
those of YMCA, AAU and high
school teams.
They were asked first did they
think the lone and one"Srule is
satisfactory. They replied mo"
to the extent of 4,206 to 1854.
Then another question asked
if they were satisfied with the
present rules. This time they said
eyes" by a vote of 4,521 to 1,277.
Present Rules Endorsed.
Then, noting they were dis
satisfied with the zone and one,"
the coaches were asked to present
substitute plans.
Seven substitute plans were
offered. The basketball men were
asked what they thought about
each of them. The vote was over
whelmingly against all seven
plans, ranging from 10-1 to ISL
negative.
