Making Rounds of Training Camps

Hollywood stars today in an ex.
hibition game. The National
League team showed Manager
Charley Grimm little to boast
about yesterday although the
Cubs defeated the Los Angeles
Angels, 3 to 2. Pitcher Bill Lee,
recently of the Columbus. Ohio,
team, allowed only two Angels to
reach first base in four innings.

the New York Yankees, was in
camp today, but as yet his two
recalitrant holdoutS, Bill Dickey,
catcher, and Lyn Larry, outfielder,

he believes will be much improved

COrcOran a Star
Corcoran can play baseball as
well as he can play football and
basketball. Afield he handles
himself with the grace of a
dancer, and is considered a very
dangerous hitter with man on the
sacks.
The pitching situation is worry

the pitching burden. He didn't

The catching department will
be taken care of by Bill Wood,

have been the first string back

studies.
Only One Missing
Only one outfielder will be miss

There was, however, q tense air
in Hollywood as he plunged into

the self-imposed censorship by
which the movies hope to answer
nationwide criticism. Mr.. Hays
said:
There is but one answer
and one answer only to reason
able objections to pictures,
and that is the pictures them
selves.
"The solution Of the problem
Of the right kind of screen
entertainment rests solely with
the quality Of the product"
It was made plain that with the

cisionS regarding the campaign to
purify films would emanate from
his office.
