LEGION BASEBALL
 TANCLE ON TAP
 TOMORROW MITE

Just who is who in the American Legion baseball tournament which was concluded Saturday in the city, will be decided at a meeting of off cials and managers scheduled for tomorrow night in the park depart ment offices. As things now stand, the Brooklyn Indies, with six wins and one defeat have repeated for the championship.
 Player Charges
 Tomorrow night, things in general may take on different angle, and how the officials will be able to name a championship team. provid- ing ineligible player charges are proving somewhat of a mystery. The Indies star seeker, Tony Marinnelli, is reputed to be over the league age limit. If he is admitted or proven to be, the champions automatically lose the five bames won in which he played, which will put them at the bottom rather than at the top of the circuit. Saturday the Indies defeated the Boys Club Aces 8 to 2, the hit di featuring.
 More Winners
 Joe Bowey pitched the Hopevilie Juniors to a z to 2 win over the North End Bulldogs. keeping the Hopeville entry in second place. St Mary's Alumni and the Town Plot A. c. put on to 2 contest won by the Saints on the strength of nine hits and four miscues by the Plot ters. Scoville was touched for only two hits and whiffed II batters. The Waterville Juniors copped a to decision over the Collegians, Kum- pitch letting the Collegers down with triple.

FIERY CLARA BOW FLASHES
 TO FAME WITH KICK IN''

If you can remember the picture UChildren of Divorce" the forgotten sgirl next door" of Wings" the beautiful gangster's moll of Ladies of the Mob" or the effective scene in the detectives office in "No Lim- it." the Clara Bow who makes her dramatic debut on the talking screen in "Kick In' at tIie Fox-Poli Palace the first half of this week, will be less of surprise. and more of a : revelation.
 The Clara Bow of ''Kick In" is really a new Clara Bow, 8 dramatic emotionally fiery star, but those who recall those bfief glimpses of the real Bow talent in other dramatic moments will find it only the re- alization of something they knew the "It'' girl possessed all along. 4Kick In" is something new for Clara Bow" entirely divorced from the "flapper" dramas with which her fame is chiefly associated.
 In "Kick In" Clara has both story and opportunity as the fighting, lov- ing victim of circumstances who bat ties the law to keep her sweetheart, as desperate, helpless woman striv- ing to retain her lovers right to go straight. The story is human. vital drama of down-to-ear emotions. Filled with interesting characters. it has pathos, drama. humor and TO- nance.
 Regis Toomey, in the leading male role, will be chiefly remembered for his great performance in "Alibi". In "Kick In" he outdoes himself. in role similar to the one that brought him first fame. Wynne Gibson, one of Paramount's bright, new personalities, seen recently in "The Gang Buster" and William Powelrs Man of the World" is ex- cellently cast. E Juliette Compton another new Paramount acquisition is a player interesting to observe The male support includes Leslie Fenton, Donald Crisp and Pau Hurst.

CHARLES G. NORRIS SEED" THRILLS CAPACITY HOUSES
 AT WARNER BROS STATE

One of the finest of the brilliant hits that have been brought to War; ner Brothers State theater this sea- son is playing there today. and to- morrow. It is the screen adaptation of Charles G. Norris smashing novel "Seed'. The principal roles of the picture are enacted by trio of play CTS whose performances are admir- able. John Boles Is seen ase the hus- band and father whose latent abil- ities as a writer have been adverse ly affected by the fact that he must continually devote himself to the difficult task of supporting a large family of children. The handsome Boles delivers fine performance in a dramatic role, and proves that he can register distinct hit in a part that does not call for the use of his singing voice.
 In the supporting cast, Raymond Hackett, Bette Davis, ZaSu Pitts, Frances Dade. Richard Tucker bring to their roles sincerity that Seed" is splendid picture. It is deeply emotional; it has it's extremely hu- man and enjoyable moments of con- 'edy; it's a great achievement all the way through. We recommend it un- qualfiedly. You will enjoy it. And it will make you think.
 In the earlier sequences, five chill dren appear. There have been motion pictures in which one child, or two, have done compelling work, but never a film before in which so many chill dren have as group, acting tOgeth- CT in all the scenes in which they appear. registered such a tremend- ous impression. The youngsters con- tribute to the remarkable natural ness and true to-life mood which is attained throughout the production. If we have to single out of these talented youngsters for premier honors, let it be little Dickie Moore, six years old. That kid has great screen future He's a wonder.
