the Special Education De-
partment at Boston Univer-
sity, indicates that-in some
cases, at least-it is well
worth it.
Feeling of Success
DR.. Blatt's research con-
Quoted under a grant from
the United States Depart
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare, is establishing
that certain types of mental
ly retarded children can be
made to feel successful in
school.
And the feeling of success
is an important step toward
increasing knowledge and
skills.
Many school systems pro-
vide special claSsrooms for
children who progress un-
usually slow in school.
In terms of present spend
ing, the programs are expen-
Sive since the number of
pupils per teacher is cut in
half and the budget for ma
terials is increased appre-
ciably.
Unfortunately, some Of
these special claSSrooms are
wasted effort and money
down the drain.
Many are directed by
Evening star., 1962-05-24

teachers who have no train
ing in the tedious process Of
teaching a slow learner.
Some do not have the SYM
pathetic personality needed
to get the best results from
the child.
Worse than that, many
school administrators regard
these special classrooms as a
dumping ground for chill
dren who are not retarded
but who have serious be-
havior problems.
Excellent Results
But under ideal conditions
the right teacher, the right
students plus fun support of
the parent and the commu-
nity-excellent results often
are obtained.
If this special education is
Evening star., 1962-05-24

to do its Job and improve its
techniques, we need more re-
search Of the type being done
by DR.. Blatt and his col
leagues.
And we need the kind Of
teachers who are trained to
take advantage Of every bit
of knowledge turned up by
researchers in the field. =
In that way, special classes
for retarded children will pay
for themselves by reducing
the number of unemployable
adults in future years.

Field Can See Now
And Use Right Name

THE GENTLEMAN WHO oversees the
smooth operation of Delaware Park has
been called many things during his colorful
racing career, including Thomas Bryan
George. Some critics disliked his call of the
Kentucky Derby. Others found fault with
his calls in the Preakness and Belmont.
Some are piqued because of his precise,
near-British accent.
Thomas Bryan George was Bryan

vering. Again Vernon made
several good moves.
Danny O'Connen supplied
the big hit when he singled
sharply to right, his pet spot,
in the bottom of the eighth
with the bases loaded, one out
and the score tied, 3-3. His hit
scored Bob Johnson, who was
running for Ken Retzer.
Piersall opened the eighth
with a solid double to left, but
Case wisely held him at third
on Refers single to right.
Pinch-hitter Gene Woodling
drew a walk, and Carl Bouldin
ran for him. Pinch-hitter Jim
King forced Piersall at the
plate, but O'Connell's single ac-
counted for the winning run.
Bouldin was out at home when

this is, a kids game?" Piersall
asked later. What I did was
perfectly legitimate, but he
started crying.
He was mad because of the
double I hit off Gary Bell"
Piersall added.
Jim and the Indians catcher
had been jawing all night, but
nobody paid much attention to
it because PierSall and Romano
had adjoining lockers when
they were teammates in Cleve-
land last year and were good
friends.

which not only had the dramatic Glenn
Mccarthy but TWO networks, the Red and

overlooked one item-exclusive rights to the
broadcast. NBC got them
Undaunted, Glover and Field rented a
row house on Belvedere avenue, parallel to
the baekstretch at Pimlico Vision seemed
to be good for all but the stretch, where
Bryan, even standing tiptoe on a rooftop,
would have trouble distinguishing the
horses. Still Field had good friends in the
press box like Gabby Haugh, O'Neil Seve-
reid and Russell Cakes. They were given
huge placards bearing the horses numbers
and were told to hold up the numbers Of
the first three finishers, which Field could
pick up through his field glasses
WHEN GOT TO the house we rented"
Bryan related, obviously enjoying the mem
ory "a tree that was bare in March was
covered with leaves and barred our vision
I tiptoed across six roofs, dragging yards
of wire after me, to better vantage point
81 caught the start all right, and
around the first turn and down the back
stretch my view was perfect" Bryan went
on. But the Old Hilltop really had hill
in those days, and when the horses swept
around the far turn the infield crowd
rushed up on 1t to see better, and I was
cut off again
II had just gotten the field straight

that point-and was turning on the dra-

the odds-board again restricted my vision.
I was pretty sure Mate, No. 5, in the Bost-
wick colors, had won, and true to their
word my pals in the press box hung up the
numbers. But they put them up backwards.
Ills. But had called Mate and was stuck
with him, even though was pretty sure of
myself"
Field is still broadcasting from roof
tops, this one at Delaware Park. He has
clear, uninterrupted vision for the feature
race he calls daily over a small network.
He still speaks with that crisp, somewhat
British accent. He doesn't have to rely on
his friends in the pressbox to hang up the
numbers for him, and he's using his right
name. Boy, that's success.

PiersoIl Invites Romano to Punch
After Showing Match at Home Plate

Catcher John Romano of the
Indians didn't like the way Jim
Piersall broke up a double play
in the bottom of the eighth last
night and threatened to punch
PlerSall in the nose the next
time he did it.
Piersall. not exactly the shy
type, suggested there might not
be a next time and that Ro-
mano had better start punch
ing right now.
That's what the flareup was
about when Pinch-hitter Jim
King forced Piersall at home.
Plersall locked legs with Ro-
mano sliding in, and the catcher
failed to double up King at
first.
Umpire Harry Schwarts broke
up the pushing match with
some help from several players
OF both dugouts and Managers
Mickey Vernon and Mel Nc
Gaia, who quickly were on the
scene.
What does Romano think

for him. He had his speed and
stuff, but he also was wild. II
wasn't the five walks that hurt
as much as the 80 count on
so many hitters. After giving
up a single and triple to the
first two batters in the eighth.
Cheney left. He had thrown
1876 pitches, enough for an IL
inning game.
Hamlin's homer gave the
Senators their first run, and
they made it 80 in the third
on Hinton's single, a walk to
Long, a topper that Hicks beat
out for a hit, and PierSall's
single.

Kutyna. an effective relief

runners on third and first and
nobody out in the eighth. De-
spite Longs error, he pitched
out of the inning with only the
runner on third scoring on a
sacrifice fly. Marty won for the
second time in six days.
Pete Burnside deserved a

tried to duck a pitch and the
ball hit his bat and trickled for
a hit. Burnside ended it by
getting Tito Francona on a
