absorbed in sports. During
the decisive, years Of his liter
airy development he wrote baseball
for a number of papers and this
so circumscribed his medium that
even after his CELEBRATION" to free
lancing he was unable overcome
his sitting limitations. To be sure,
he chafed under these limitations
and the chatting introduced new
elements into the handling of his
themes, sardonic, even sour ele-
ments, which refined and lent i'm
portance to his best work.
Ring Lardner's writing is clear
cut, styled, and falls readily into
categories. Read Round Up" the
representative collection of his
short stories and you will note his
persistent preoccupation with two
basic themes. One, the grotesque-
ness, alterations, "color," but fun
damental integrity of baseball as
profession. Two, the utter sham,
inanity and fundamental meanness
on which bourgeois existences are
based.
His treatment of bridge, golf and
baseball are the touchstones of his
attitude. Lardner has written many
stories about bridge but not one
in which the social by-products of
this social by-product are extolled.
Those bridge stories most fragrant
ly represent form of wish-ful-
fillment characteristic Of Lard
ner's wiling.
BRIDGE is the great indoor
sport of the American mid
die class. Around it hover the
traditions and the social life
formerly associated with sewing
circles, "socials," even Sc
and musicales. Sartorial ostenea-
ton, irritating small talk, the
smugness of overheated rooms,
that's bridge. Lardner saw how
the game could be enjoyable
but not with those trimmings.
His own social life had snatehed
him away from the Iowly poker
but it could not prevent him
from writing those murderous
LIZ
Himself, he was taeiturn and
polite. He had no special respect
for the four hundred, but the
nouveau richie, who criticized his
game got under his akin. 1t
wasn't as though an experienced
old-timer was breaking in a
rookie pitcher. There Yves
snootiness here that went be-
yond the game.
So Shelton, the Lardner hero,
busts up the evening by criticiz-
ing in turn the hosts manners,
their grammar and pronunciation.
He's thrown out, but happy. Lard
ner, in real life, sat through and
suffered.
Lardner was on the. inside; he
had the goods on his civilization.
Read his Mora" and "a Day With

GANDHI BEGINS FAST

Campaign Against liability

Three Weeks.

POONA, India. May Among
India teeming millions the belief grew
today that Mahatma Gandhi would not
survive three week, unconditional,
irrevocable fast which he will begin
on May 8.
Sitting in Yeroda Jail, where he has
been confined since January 4. because
of his passive resistance campaign, the
frail little leader announced the fast
yesterday in connection with his cam
paign against untouchability and the
caste system.
He clung to his determination despite
two-hour effort by his son Devidas
to dissuade him. AS the news spread
like wildfire. observers who saw the
Mahatma after his one-Week fast last
September expressed the fear that the
new fast would mean certain death.
The Mahatma, himself, did not ex-
plain his decision in detail

Observers saw in the fast an express
