WINTER HAVEN. Fla. March Is.
Chuck Klein, the smuggling out
fielder from indianapolis, may not
be seen with the Phillies this sea-
son.
This startling statement was made
by President Ruch of the Philly club
after Chuck had refused to come 70
Winter Haven to discuss terms.
According to Ruch, Klein not only
snubbed the presidents invitation
10 come to the training quarters at
the Phillies' expense, but almost
made It plain that he VIII not bulge
an inch on his original salary de-
mands and viii not report to camp
until his terms are met.
Negotiations between the player
and club have reached the accute
stage. 1t amounts to a rebellious
declaration that the Phillies can
give Klein what he asks or they
can go hang-and there is feel
ing about Winter Haven that the
club may decide to let the alter
native happen.
Ruch would not admit such He
is too even tempered and diplo-
matte to admit that his temper is
even rufled. But as he discussed
the situation today. he appeared
menacingly calm. He had that bull
cog quietness that may mean he
will hang on for long while.
Club officials have an idea that
Chuck may have a manager who is
advising him.
Some one is giving him bad adj
vice. declared Ruch.

ONE victory apparently has
" meant the difference between
a fair basketball team and title
threat in the case of the Marion
Giants. After a mediocre season,
the Taubemen flashed champion
ship ball to drop Muncie, and the
following week almost repeated,
losing out by two points. Since
then the Purple and Gold five
has piled up a steady string Of
triumphs and marched through
the sectional and regional to en-
ter the state title round.
In the regional, Kokono's Wild
cats, favo1ites, lost to Wabash
while the Giants nosed out Hart

and trounced Wabash in the

PAINTER ALTERED
ART, X-RAYS SHOW
Berlin Discovery Indicates
Rembrandt Made Changes
in Masterpiece.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-X-rays used
to examine great paintings sometimes
look straight through the surface upon
long hidden ideas of the masters
into dead mems minds.
The latest discovery is a trif1e OF
possible sex appeal which Rembrandt
buried under his famous Susanna and
the Elders" now in Berlin Museum.
Records of this and other such ideas,
plainly showing under the finish in
bold, sketching understrokes with
which the picture was first outlined,
were presented at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art last night. They were ex-
planned by Alan Burroughs of Fogg Art
Museum OF Harvard at a meeting OF
the College Art Association.
The Berlin discovery, which he ,Said
is yet unpublished, illustrates what we
know about Rembrandt's middle period
change from a most vigorous to very
dainty manner of applying pigment.
Looking at the shadowgraph OF this
picture, one finds evidence Of alteration.
In the beginning Rembrandt had
Susanna looking straight ahead in pro-
file Her shoulder was raised. her left
hand was clutching the air, her right
hand chung to drapery at her waist and
some folds fiuttered in motion down by
ner 1eeC.
THE elder who stands behind her,
instead of having his hand at his chin
in a rather sedate gesture had his hand
raised in a nervous one. His left hand,
instead Of clutching the drapery at
Susanna's back, crossed her body and
graSped her by the left shoulder.
Reconstruct the appearance OF the
first version as disclosed by the shadow
graph and you will find that it is an
exciting scene from an exciting incident
with the emphasis placed on the mo
mentary action.
But in finishing the picture, Rem
brandt changed the emphasis from ac-
ton to repose. He reduced the flutter-
ing drapery, gave Susanna more
static pose, eased the position Of her
shoulder and made her head turn
gracefully toward the elder"
Mr.. Burroughs explained how thick
ness Of strokes, differences in compost
ton of pigments and styles produced
the telltale underneath shadowgraphs.
