front office and field staff thel
Brinkman, who turned q
only So major league games.
Senator'S shortstop for many
years, but there is some doubt
whether he will be ready this
season.
1t cost the Senators about
$4,000 to field a team in the
Florida Institutional League
last year. but they could get it
back all at once because that
is where Brinkman developed
into a better ballplayer.
Coach George Case, who
managed the Senators Plant
City team, said Brinkman is
the most coachable player he
ever has seen, and Case is not
loose with compliments.
The Senators signed Brink
man when he was graduated
from high school in Cincinnati
in 1861, and they went high
for him, probably three times
as high as they went for Tom
Brown. This club has no inten-
ton Of entering the six-figure
bidding for any phenoms, and
it might be years before they
pays a bonus to exceed the
one they gave Brinkman.
Ed played at Pensacola in
81 and hit .29O in SO games.
He played three late Septem-
Der games with the Senators
and was 1-for-11.
Last year they sent him to
Raleigh from spring training
with the big club, recalling him
in mid-season after hearing of
his 1926 batting average with
the Carolina League team. For
the rest Of the season he and
Ken Hamlin alternated at
shortstop. but Ed wasn't ready
for major league pitching. He
hit only .165 in 54 games.
Brinkman had his hands too
far back on the bat and was
striking out at an alarming
rate. For the nine weeks in the
Institutional League, Case had
him bring the right elbow in
where he could meet the ball
without so much wasted mo-
ton. His hands were in front
of him.
1T was uncomfortable for a
while, but now it feels normal
and much better" Ed said. "At
Raleigh I was batting 1924, but
I was a guess hitter"
Oddly, Brinktnan's role with
the Senators this year depends
considerably upon others. With
more hitting in the infield, they
figure they can carry Brink
man, even II he hits barely over
200, because he's that clever
with the glove.
However, without q $50 hit
ter at second or third base they
can't afford to carry q .220 man
at short.
Brinkman's biggest asset is a
powerful arm. There is no
Shortstop in the American
League who can get the ball to
first any quicker. He developed
the arm as a pitcher in high
school, and said he inherited a
strong arm from his dad, who
was a semi-pro catcher.
His only previous fielding
weakness at short was the in
ability to go into the hole to-
ward third, but now he is max
ing that play better than ever
before. His double-play tech
nique also is improving, thanks
to the finesse Of Second Base
man Chuck Cottier.
TITS a pleasure to work with
him." Ed said.
- HA
For the second straight year
the Senators are lacking a COM
petent leadoff hitter, but by
the process Of elimination
Brinkman has won the spot.
He would prefer to bat some
place else, but for the time
being he will lead off.
II know they've been looking
for a shortstop," Ed said, but
I believe I can do the Job. But

Rare Corvette
SET for Race
AT Marlboro
BY DICK SLAY
star staff Writer


Sport" Corvette will make its
first competitive appearance be-
fore the public this week end
at Marlboro.
Washington's Dick Thompson
will be the driver, and the car
will be entered with the other
big modifieds in quest Of the
Presidents Cup on the National
sports car race program.
The Super Sport, which
Thompson says is not an Of
fetal name, is one Of only three
cars Of this model in existence.
Chevrolet has stopped making
them, so they never will be pro-
duced in sufficient quantity to
qualify for production class rae
ing, for which they originally
WSIc IlOcIlueu.
The car is 1000 pounds
lighter than the Glass A pro-
duction Sting Ray Corvette,
saving weight with q tubular
frame, aluminium transmission
and differential, and thinner
fiberglass body shell.
10 Seconds Faster
Thompson drove the Super
Sport at Sebring. Fla, in De-
cember during tests on the
Sting Ray to iron out some
wrinkles in the brakes. He
said the Super Sport was 10
seconds faster per lap than the
Sting Rays which competed in
the Sebring 12-hour race
March %.
The Super Sport was de-
veloped to compete against the
Ferrari GTO models in Amer
lean production-car races and
international grand = touring
events. However, a month aft
er the Sebring tests General
Motors reaffirmed its no-racing
policy and Cancelled manufac-
turing plans for the car.
The three cars which had
been built were distributed to
three loyal owners Of racing
Corvettes, one Of whom is
Pittsburgh's Grady Davis.
Thompson, who has won ma
tional championships in Davis
owned CorvetteS the last two
years, was the logical choice
to drive the new model in COM
petition.
Thompson claims the Super
Sport should do a 1885 lap at
Marlboro, which is two or
three seconds better than the
Sting Rays on this tight, IT.
mile circuit, but probably not
fast enough to challenge for
the Presidents Cup. Also, the
car probably was not developed
fully for competition by the
4 factory before production
ceased.
Lucky TO Finish"
WED love to be racing this
lightweight everywhere as q
production car" Thompson
says. But We'll be lucky Just to
finish this race"
Meanwhile, the Ferrart GTC
coupe has not qualified for
American production racing
leaving the Sting Rays with
major competition from the
new AC Cobras in this class
AS it is, Thompson admits he'll
have enough trouble from the
Cobras in retaining his ma
tional title.
I'm afraid 1t won't be in
teresting very long," he says
THE Cobras were two-three
seconds a lap faster than the
Sting Rays at Sebring and that
means a second q lap at Marl-
boro.
"The Corvette handles bet
ter, but we can't beat the Cobra
in acceleration."
The Ford-powered Cobras are
900 pounds lighter but only II
less in horsepower, $50 to $50
However. Thompson's ability
behind the wheel might be the
Equalizer. 1t should be inter-
esting Sunday at Marlboro
anyway.

Dear DR.. Mason:

OtdT LII. NdSOn.
Is 1t important these days
for children to learn the ge-
ography Of their States, includ-
ing the capitals? A group of
adults in our home a few eve
nings ago all seemed to feel
that children are not learning
as much about such things now
as we had to learn when we
were in school. A. N, Venice,
Calf.
Geography is the anatomy OF
history. Students learn and un-
derstand the history of their
country better IL they can
visualize the States. To read
and enjoy newspapers, they
should be able to locate in the
minds eye not only the States
and their capitals but all the
principal cities. So much is go
ing on today that it's more,
not less, important for young
people to know their geography.
Dear DR.. Mason:
l would like to get informa-
ton regarding State and gov
ernment scholarship available
ity, and State or government
loans.
If you do not have such in
formation. I'd appreciate it If
you would tell me where can
get it. Thank you. Mrs. j. L.

Gain in New Teachers
Fails to End SHORTAGE

Some $4,000 more students
trained for teaching will be
among those taking bachelors
degrees this year, as compared
with last year, the National
Education Association reports.
But figures indicate the
Nation still will have a net
shortage Of 10000 teachers.
Since only about three of
every four of the graduates will
enter the classroom in Septem-
ber, the need will continue to
exceed the supply, according to
the NEA Research Divisions
10th annual report on teacher
supply and demand in the
public schools.
The 158.357 graduates eligible
for standard teaching certif-
icates will represent an over
all increase of 11.3 per cent
over the 142,343 produced in
1862, the report says.
Still Far Short
New teachers needed to staff
the public schools next Sep
tember total 235, 900, more than
double the 117,OOO graduates
who probably will enter teach
ing, estimates Ray c. Maui,
assistant director Of the re-
search division and author of
the report.
The report underscores the
plight of the elementary school,
where next falls enrolment of
26 million is twice the 13 mil
lion in high schools. But for
every six teachers prepared to
teach in elementary school,
there are nine prepared for
high school.
Newly trained high school
teaching candidates totalled
96,376, as compared with 81, ,97s
trained for elementary teach
ing, according to the statistics
The chief problem at the
high school level is not total
numbers, DR.. Maui said. The
distribution of the new supply
is not in balance with the
need, he pointed out, repre-

the college your child plans to

Government loans and
scholarships are distributed
throughout more than 1900
colleges.
Dear DR.. Mason:
I have a problem with my
son who is in the 7th grade.
When he was small he learned
easily, cut teeth early. walked
at eight months. When he
started school he seemed to
lose interest in learning. We
found he had poor eyesight and
got glasses for him. He wanted
to take band in the 9Th grade
so we bought his trumpet, and
his studies improved.
He doesn't read as we'll as he
should but is still better than
some In his room. What ]
wonder is why did he change
In his mood of learning when
he went to school? Mrs.
F. c. W., Nashville, Ind.
The causes of human be-
haviOr often are complex. The
work Of the kindergarten may
have seemed too simple to in
terest him.
There Is also the possibility
that he could not follow the
teachers lead because Of his
inferior eyesight.
Either of these conditions or
perhaps a combination Of the
two could result in the lack Of
interest.
Dear DR.. Mason:
Do you know where I can
find material covering the re-
lationship between "dropouts"
and very early motivation? J.
T.. Fresno, Calf.
l know Of no material COW
ering the relationship between
drOp0uts and very early mott
vatiOn. But. the recent Ele-
mentary School Principals Ma
