SeweIl Difficult
Man For Pitchers

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. U.P)-Joe
Sewell, the New York Yankees
keen-eyed third baseman, struck
out yesterday for the third time
in 113 games he played this sea-
son.
Walter Stewart, left handed
pitcher of the st. Louis Browns was
flinging when Joe was called out
in the third inning by Umpire
Harry Giesel.
In 1925 Joe played in 155 games
and struck out only four times.
Again in 1929 he famed only four
times in 152 games. He famed
only three times in 109 games in
1880. He has struck out only ITO
times in 1,761 major league games
from 1920 until now.

YANKEES AND CUBS COMPARED
FOR WORLD SERIES STRENGTH

Brooklyn in the 1920 world series.
Billy Herman, Cubs second base
man. and Frank Crosetti. Yankees
shortstop. the kids of their respec-
tive teams, are playing their first
full year on the majors and have
never seen a world series much less
played in one.
Cub Defense Strong
Defensively, the Cubs seem to
have a wide margin on the Yam
KEGS. The Yanks have made only
1T twin killings, the smallest num-
Der registered by any team in
either league. The Cubs have made
137.
Grimm, Herman, Koenig and
English figure to field rings around
Gehrig, Lazzeri, Crosetti an d
Sewell on past performances
The edge at first base must go
to the Yankees, because of Geh-
rigs dangerous batting, but the
Yankee star is not in the same
class with Grimm when it comes
to fielding. Grimm is one Of the
most artistic fielders of his position
in modern baseball
Billy Herman for all his youth,
may prove an even more valuable
man to the Cubs than Tony Lq7-
zeri, for all his experience, to the
Yankees in the series. Herman has
been one Of the Cubs leading hit
ters and has been a steady fielder.
Koenig has made a great come
back after being rescued from the
minors last month. Crosetti is a
weak hitter and a brilliant but er-
ratio fielder.
English is a more reliable and
valuable player than Joe Sewell.
The two reserve shortstops are
Bill Jurges, Cubs, and Lyn Larry,
Yankees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. = c. Ross
.Somerville's victory in the national
amateur was a source of much
satisfaction to this bureau in more
ways than one. For one thing we
picked the dour-faced Sandy to
come through, and backed him with
money. Honesty forces the admit
tance. however, that we didn't pick
him single-handed. Bobby Jones
helped US.
When the field reached the quar-
ter finals Bobby stated in one of
his articles that Of the eight players
still in the running Somerville pos
sessed the soundest game. That
was enough for Us. We were right
out and laid it on the line.
But even more gratifying than
the $160 we won, was the fact
that. at least, someone connected
with the British empire had taken
an American golf title. OF course.
it would have been much more sat-
! isfactory had Somerville been from
London, England, instead of Lo--
don, Ontario; if he had been
a McRuvie, a Tolley, a Torrance
or a Hartley. But even 50, he's a
British subject and that's some
thing.
Somerville's victory undoubtedly
will spur the British on and cause
them to abandon their notions Of
quitting Walker cup play.
Somerville's triumph is likely TO
have a tonic effect, proving as it
does that it is possible for man

and British blood in his veins, 70

it's heat that the British blame for
their lack of success. If you don't

Tin Fugitive From Chain Gan" Is Picture Worth
Telling the World About
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY


Every once in a while a picture
comes along from Hollywood so
good that it revives the faith and
enthusiasm of those beginning to
ponder after watching a process
sion of screen mediocritieS.
/ saw such a picture at a
Saturday pre-view. Warner Bros.
I'm a Fugitive From a Chain
Gang" It has one of those stories
which grip you from the first
flicker and once having seized
your interest never lets it drop
until "the end" arrives.
Director Mervyn LIE Roy has
staged two of the most believable
and exciting escapes, with blood
hounds, Shot-gunned constabulary
and dynamite figuring in the mad,
perilouS and unsuccessful pursuit
of an escaped convict.
The LIE Roy direction is i'm
pressive because he relies more
upon the camera than dialogue
for smashing dramatic effects,
points his graphic story highlightS
in terms of motion pictures.
I'm Fugitive" is a saga of
the hunted. It tells of the terri
BILE despair and sullen hopeless
ness of those unfortunateS who
must endure the barbarous cruel
ties of the chained convict gangs.
Having successfully contriVed
to escape and restore himself to
usefulness and honored position
in Chicago, Paul MUM becomes
entangled with a woman whose
treachery sends him back to the
living hell. The love angle has
been so skillfully handled the
picture is bound to interest the
woman movie-goer. Scorning the
happy ending, I'm a Fugitive"
fades out on a logical if un-
happy note.
States with the chain gang
penal system will not like this
pictorial exposition of mediaval
barbarism. Neither will they like
the fact that a certain sovereign
State is represented as dealing
in trickery and cold blooded de-
ceit in its lust for revenge on
one who Haunted its steel fet-
ters. But those looking for su.
perior movie picture entertain
ment will find I'm a Fugitive
real five-Star celluloid.
The cartoon comedies grow in
popularity because they meet the
The Washington times., 1932-10-31

demand for action on the screen
and because it seems to me the
imaginative artists strive with
marked success for original gag
ideas. At LoeW'S Palace this week
you may see one of the best, a
Silly Symphony, king Neptune" "
done in color.
Such a frantic hodgepodge of
screen fun, you may be surprised
to learn, is accompanied by a
rather distinguished musical back
ground, which includes Liszt's Lies
Preludes," the "Lorelei." and the
chanty, Blow the Man Down" :"
Bert Lewis, musical director at the
Walt Disney studio, contributed
original songs called king of the

Merry Mermaids." They spent
time and thought on this little
comedy and it registers as high
fun.

Ann Corio Stars
in Gayety Show

Presenting a stellar comic duo
good looking girls the talented
Reed Sisters, and one of the best
trained and most youthful cho
ruses of the year, Girls from the
Follies," featuring Ann Corio
seems destined to win much
favor at the Gayety this week
despite a punchleSs second act.
If for no other reason than that
it affords Sam Raynor, comedian
a chance to cavort the production
is worth seeing. Lee Hickman
his partner is much better than
you would expect to find in a
shop which already has one good
laugh-getter.
To those who have seen Gertie
and Rae Reed, the mere mention
of their names is enough to in
sure their presence. A better
dancing sister team has not been
at the Ninth Street House. An
other clever dancing team is Carri
gan and DeMuth. Fast dancing
is offered by Anna Smith with
Eleanor Walent attending to most
of the singing.
Ray Parsons, singing straight,
who usually carries the male bur
dent in the songs is aided this
time by Charles Dane character
man, who also has a nice voice.
Several beautiful scenes abound
in this weeks show, among which
are an Indian. Ubangi and "Foun-
tain of Beautiful Girls"

beauty of it's score, the romance
set to music which filled the Ma
tional Theater stage last night is
close to operatic in value.
The more discerning play dis
sectors may find its story telling
technique familiar and boldly
transparent since it relies upon a
formula that has been tried often
and found of enduring quality m
appeal. Loves young dream is
again beset with obstacles. but
since the way to the final act
understanding is paced with the
delightful strains of sweet music
the journey makes a very pleas
ant evening in the theater.
This is the story of the yourg
composer whose classic notes have
beauty and musical merit but lack
a touch of the gay rhythms and
rollicking spirit needed for the
modern musical concoctions. His
latest play, "The Passionate Pill
grim" is shy of what the producer
calls "umph." There is the Ameri-
can girl across the way who
thumps out cacophony and jazz
motifs on the piano, unworthy
stuff, but popular. Somehow, they
meet on a July night in Brussels
and -sOmance is born. Also mis-
understanding. Suffice that be-
fore it is all over the young COM
poser's play is huge success and
the interpolated tunes are what
help to make it a sensation. The
rest is as you like it.

Beautifully Drunk

BY 2 a. m. he was in beauti-
full shape. He had one foot on
the brass rail and the other in
a cuspidor. His hair was hang
ing in his eyes and his eyes
were a sight to behold. When he
walked into the apartment. he
was most careful. Drunk as he
was, he remembered about his
clothes. He first looked at the
bed. His wife was sleeping
soundly. Then he undressed,
and carefully hung his clothes
in the closet. He crawled into
bed with a cortented look
Some time during the follow
ing afternoon, his wife was
screaming in his ear. She called
him everything, and then started
all over. Drunk again, eh? Well,
this was the finish. This was
the end. She was through with
him.
Joe sat up in bed. For the
first time in his life he got in
dignant. What did she mean,
drunk? Why, he hadn't had a
drink in weeks. He didn't know
what a speakeasy looked like.
The very idea! Drunk, indeed!
Finally, he dragged himself
out of bed. She had refused to
be convinced and had walked
out. He couldn't figure out how
she had known he was drunk.
His clothes were still hanging
carefully on the hangers. Every
thing was as it should be.
Puzzled. he walked into the
bathroom. In the mirror he
saw his face. Then he under
stood.
He had neglected to take off
his hat when he rolled into
bed!

Plans to Make

BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 31-One
of Jesse LaSky'S early projects
for Fox may be the screening of
THE Warriors Husband" anus
! ing Broadway satire on Anna
zonian women and SubSerVient
men.
Established at his new studio
home, the former Paramount chief
has asked Leo McCarey to read
the script, with a view toward
Leo directing the picture upon
his return from New York va
cation.
In the meanwhile. Mr.. Lasky
, probably will devote his first at
tention to production of ZOO
in Budapest" story by Melville
Baker and Jack Kirkland. No
director or cast has been sc.
lected for this film as yet.
Interesting to note that "The
Warriors Husband" was the play
in which Katharine Hepburn,
new RKO sensation, made her
Broadway hit.
You may lave wondered why
Warmers decided not to call
James Cagney'S picture, Bad
Boy" 1t was such a great tie-up
with the much publicized dis.
agreement. The only trouble was
Fox already had registered the
title for Vina Del Mars sequel
to Bad Girl" Their ingenuity
put on test. Warmers now will
call the film, Hard to Handle"
And here's a break for a girl
from my home town-Rosalie
Roy. redhead hailing from
Waco, Tex. She met RaouI
Walsh at Aqua Caliente a year
ago and he got her contract
with Fox. Aside from a part in
the Will Rogers picture, Down
to Earth" nothing came of it.
RoSalie was let out.
But the other day, Carl
Laemmle saw a test of her at
Universal. He liked her looks so
much that she gets g. long-term
contract. Her first part will be
in the serial, Clancy of the
Mounted"
Rather amazing, the recupera-
tive powers of Tom Mix. Those
two cracked ribs he received the
other day make As bones broken
in his career. Not to mention IL
bullet wounds. During the boxer
uprising Tom had a steel jacket
| % through his mouth and come
out at the base Of his skull. In
those days. he was United States
infantryman. Before that he had
trained horses for England in the
