wv ephine Hutchinson should even
tually become one Of the screens most
valuable players. Her debut in Hap
pinesS Ahead" which the Warner
Bros. screened yesterday, indicates
that she has the sort of talent of
which the screen has crying need. She
is no roaring beauty, but she has
grace, poise, animation and splendid
diction. AS soon as she does away with
that monotone Alice in Wonderland
voice, she should hit the heights.
Right now even she is particularly
attractive person, and her first screen
performance, after the shock of its
initial nervousness Is vanquished, is
something to remember.
Somehow we never supposed that
Miss Hutchinson would play opposite
Dick Powell. The result. however, is
curiously satisfying.
THOSE were priceless old-time
photos which Sidney Lust showed
Monday at his Variety Club luncheon.
Happy Variety Clubbers were regaled
with shots of themselves that they had
long since forgotten. Even Manager

pleasure as he saw himself as a junior

Chief Reliance of u. S. for
Davis Cup, Says Coach
Winnie Richards.

N IEW YORK, May 22.-
M Young Sidney Wood
| v holds the key to Amer
4 ica's chances of winning
the Davis Cup in the opinion
of Winnie Richards, professional
star, who is helping to get the
cup team in shape.
Wood can beat any of the singles
players from England, France or Aus
tralia if he thinks he can" Richards
said. He lacks confidence. though,
and that's one of my main jobs
building up his self-assurance.
Last year he had lots of things be-
sides tennis on his mind. He was try
ing to hold position in a brokerage
office and prepare for the Davis Cup
matches at the same time. Dashing
out of the Office and onto the courts
didn't help. This year he has moth
ing to think about except the cup. He
has leave of absence from his job"
Richards played his first match in
the Eastern professional champion
ships yesterday. defeating Ted Rericha,
6+3, 6-3. Today he was to meet
Charles NJ. Wood for the right to
enter the quarter finals where the
other favorites, including Bill Tilden,
Ellsworth Vines and Henri Cochet al
ready are safely installed.

Whitehill Takes 1t.

KcCOLL Immediately tossed two

that made the indrawn wash
ington infield frantic. Then Mickey
fouley two to get behind the pitcher.
Up came fast one Smack! The ball
sailed high to center field. Schultz
took one look, decided he could not
make a catch in time to do any
good and let the ball drop for a single
that sent Walker home with the ball
game.
So a decision was lost that should
by virtue of his pitching been White
hills. And the Nationals had passed
up a chance to make third place
and to be only three games back of
the leading Yankees.
The Nationals were not badly out
hit in the fray. They got IL hits,
all but four off Marberry The Tigers
got IA. And the Washington Club
three times held the lead.
Cronin's charges Tailed in the first
round. Travis and Manush singled.
Travis crossed as Cronin drove into
a force-play. The Tigers matched
this run in their second turn with
Rogell's one baSer, Hayworth's in
field retirement and Greenbergs sin
gle. Kress hit homer over the left
field wall in the fourth, but in the
latter part of the inning Greenberg'
countered with a home run rifled into
the right end Of the bleacherS. In
Marberry's last inning. the sixth, the
Griffs said it with two baggers. Gro
min walked and Schultz sacrificed.
Then Stone and Travis doubled to
get two-run lead But that Tiger
seventh proved an upsetting affair.

GOOSe's Bat Warm.

TERES what happened in that
II fateful seventh into which the
Nationals had carried a two
run lead WreSted from their one-time
teammate. Fred Marberry, in the first
five rounds. Doljack. first up. drew
a pass. 1t was the only one issued by
Whitehill. Then Goslin got his third
single in succession. 1t was a drive
that Kress knocked down and might
have resulted in an out instead of
hit had the Nationals second Sacker
been playing back as he had formerly
when the Goose was at the plate. But
Red had moved in and couldn't get to
the ball fast enough for a clean stop.
Walker lofted out, but Gehringer
smashed a single off Kuhels glove
and the bases were crowded without
the ball having once gone to the out
field during the inning
So the infield closed in with White
hill pitching most carefully to Rogell.
The Tiger batter shot fairly easy
chance at Cronin with double play
written all over it. But Cronin failed
to bend enough. The ball skidded
under the shortstop to go to left field
and Doljack and Goslin scored to tie
the game. while Gehringer pulled up
at third base. Hayworth hoisted one
to Stone and Gehringer crossed with
the run putting the Tigers ahead.
Whitehill surely was the victim of a
lot Of hard luck in that round.

There was a chance that Buddy
Myer would be back at second base
today. His foot. that was spiked
in Cleveland last Thursday, seems
we'll enough to permit his return
to the game. Bluege had to be

won't see any service before the
Chicago series that will get under

With his new team, Dewhurst is

eager for a crack at the leading

the last Evening Star marathon of
1888 he has competed in eight dis

Dewhursts Y NJ. c. A. teammates
are Bus Nicholson, George Shorb and
J. w. Weadon.
Nicholson in the last year has trailed
Dewey closely in most of his races
and Shorb had clear sight of their
heels. Weadon is a newcomer to the
distance game. having tried his en-
durance for the first time in a IS
mile contest in Baltimore, in which
he finished eighteenth in a field of 80.
1t was handicap affair, but Weadon
attracted the attention of experienced
runners by his style and courage.
Since then he has been in capable
hands, training for the marathon dis

in the Washington ninth the
Earl was ordered to give way to
Pinch-Batter Bluege. Sore foot and
all, Ossie did what he could to get the
Nationals back in the game He
swung on one of Elon Hogsett's pitches
and drove the ball to the right-field
corner. Disregarding the severe spik-
ing he took in Cleveland last Friday,
Bluege tore around the runway to
check in at third base then gave way
to Pinch Runner Dugas. And Travis
came through with an infield single
to get Dugas home.
The Nationals threatened to do
more in that ninth, for they filled the
bases. Kuhel also got an infield hit
and after Manush skied out Cronin
was passed. Schultz, though, took
three swings at the left-handed Hog
setts stuff to knock three fouls. The
third was caught by the first baseman.
So the Nationals had to try to
stave off the Tigers in the ninth
something that, perhaps, would not
have been difficult, but for Cronin'S
misplay in the seventh. And they
couldn't do it. Prim got Goslin out
of the way, But Walker bounced a
high one in front of the plate and
was virtually at first base before Prim
got the ball. The pitcher threw
nevertheless, sending the ball far
down the right-field line and Walter
got all the way to third. There was a
hurried conference among Cronin,
Prim and Phillips at the pitchers
box. 1t resulted in the intentional
passing of Gehringer and Rogell to
fill the bases. Manager Cronin felt
his side must resort to desperate
means
This brought up Hayworth. right

stop of the smash. that was hard

around Navin Field here Is
Kress' home-run park. He used
to knock plenty over the left-field
fence when with the Browns and
the White Sox. His sock yester-
day was long enough to cross the
street beyond the ball yard. Green
berg's clout was a great one for
right-hand swinger. Whitehill
had two and two on Hank when
the ball went winging to the right
field corner Of the bleachers. The
Mats now have an even break for
the trip. Three up and three

him. The Nationals left-hander,

In the early campaigning in the

his record shows only one win against
three defeats.

would have breezed to victory in
stead of being withdrawn after eight

Whitehill, he pitched well enough to
