The picture, . story Of newspaper

Monta Bell, who, before going into
pictures, was . Washington news
paper man. Bell covered many big
news events, such as the Taft in

were written into his play-and it
was decided that they could not be
done by limitations Of the real locale.
Many Of the scenes have historic
background; spots along the Poto-

GIANTS FINALLY TR0UNCE ACE MITCHELL
AND APPARENTLY BREAK HIS WIN STREAK
Even as a Red, a Robin, and .
Philly, the Ancient and Hon.
orable Southpaw Could
Throttle the New Workers
by Having Name Announced
(By the Associated Press)

The Giants were unable to with
stand the force of their Wrigley field
jinx in Chicago, but as soon as they
set foot in St. Louis they proceeded
to denolish another evil influence
equally potent. Until reduced to an
unrecognizable hulk by a shameful
assault yesterday, the venerable
Clarence Mitchell, long famed as the
only left-handed spitballer in cap
tivity, had been able to throttle the
Clan McGraw merely by having his
name announced as the pitcher.
Even as Red, a Robin and q
Philly, the ancient and honorable
southpaw won more than his fair
share Of games from the Giants.
With the Cardinals behind him, he
started out with three in a row and
seemed as if he might never quit.
Then came the turning point yester-
day, when the New Workers shaded
the veteran by 3 to 2.
McGraw's initial success in the
three-game series against the leaders
gave him a bigger margin than any
single game usually represents.
First, it preserved the slight chance
the Giants have of gaining first
place by three percentage points on
a sweep Of the series. Next, it cut
the Cardinal lead to two and one
half games and plastered the Red
Birds with one defeat in excess of
the number suffered by the Clan
McGraw to date.
The Giant chieftain is fortunate
to have won q game with a man
not counted upon as anything like
q certain victor, and still have left
the real aces with whom he expected
to halt the Cards. Against these
stalwarts McKechnie must SEND

worked boxmen. Before any pen.

nevertheless, it might be we'll to re.

.erage II points, and now is only nine
points from the Goose" whose av-
lerage is $50. Simmons slipped even
more than Goslin, but was still Sec
ond with a mark Of .374.
Hoyt added another victory to his
string during the week, bringing his
record to ii won and three lost.
General Alvin Crowder of st. Louis
also added a win. and he now has
credit for Is victories and four de-
feats.
