Ath'ScSAAt~a ASoo Aopot to nAitCiI
 NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The rush of younger stars to the pitching pinnacle finds two freshmen match ing game for game with the old guard.
 Guy Bush of the Cubs and George Earnshaw of the Athletics, are the gsters who have crowded their way into the front ranks, replacing such old estab- lished favorites as Dazzy Vance and Herb Pennock.
 This time last year Vance, Pen mock, Burleigh Grimes of the Pi- rates and Lefty Grove of the Ath- letics were out in front battling for the top rung. Vance and Pennock had flivvered and at the time Bush had won Is and lost one and Earnshaw had captured IT and lost five the count on Vance and Pennock was and ', and and 5.
 But Grove and Grimes were up there, the former With the best showing in the American and the latter with a. standing good enough to permit him to lose a couple of weeks because of an arm injury and still have the second best av- craze in the National.
 Grove had won IT and lost two and Grimes had won 16 and lost two, making a total of 65 won and 10 lost for the four high men in the majors.
 This high-powered Big Four of Grove, Grimes, Bush and Earn shaw was sure shot to make it 20 games all around for the season. Lefty was within easy shooting dis tance of his 1928 mark of 24 vic- tories and Grimes rated as a fair bet to equal his 1928 performance which netted 25 games in the won column.
 The experience of being up around the top is something new for both Bush and Earnshaw.

The Alaska Line steamer Alaska and the Admiral Line steamer Ad- miral Watson are scheduled to sail south tomorrow. But no reserva- tionS have been made available on either ship.

 However, the party expects to leave tomorrow even though they have to have lifeboats fitted with sleeping accommodations The grand jury is called to convene next Monday and the petit jury one week later The term is expected to last at least six weeks.

1.-THE AWAKENING" AT STRAND


 "The Awakening" Samuel Cold wyn's first starting vehicle for VilUla Banky, which is at the Strand thea ter today and Wednesday, is one of those pictures which prove again that simplicity of story and beauty of production are, after all. the best recipes for a good picture. It has all the romantic ardor. the thrills. and the pictorial effect which make it entertainment of the very first order.
 Wilma Banky's performance more than iustifies Producer Goldwyn's decision to raise her to the rank of . star.
 The supporting cast headed by Louis Wolheim. featured as Le- bolt, the ruthless peasant suitor. and Walter Byron, as Lieutenant Karl von Hagen, the gay young German cavalry officer, produce acting which would probably carry by itself with out the star part. Wolheim's gro- tesque humor anl sinister presence have long been known as invaluable to any picture he may find hlinseif in, and Bryon, handsome and dash ing as heart cou'd wish, goes be- yond mere cleverness in a way that bodes well for the young English mans future.
 The vaudeville Lill is headed by the Great Leon presenting the Death Ray Gun in which he offers the super thriller of shooting human projectile through solid piece of armour plate as his feature stunt with his mysterious death ray gun, Other acts offer the Five Speedy Steppers in Pep Presonified': Ray mond and Gibbs in "Getting Him Told; Vernon Rathburn and Co.,, musical artists supreme, featuring Master Vernon, Americas premier juvenile saXophonist; and Anthony and Rowland in Make It Distinct
