Moriarty, Director

And speaking of baseball,
which was just two seconds ago,
Umpire George Moriarty is in
town as motion picture direc-
tor. No kiddin'. George got the
American League to dig down
for $4,000 and with this wad
of money he is making series
Of shorts on baseball with the
big leaguerS as his actors.
Moriarty's idea, being worked
into a celluloid, is to have Joe
Cronin and Buddy Myer show
how to execute a perfect double
pla y in so far as the second sack
is concerned. He had the Red
Sox doing stunts earlier in the
week, Lefty Grove and Wes Fer
rell showing how and how not
to pitch; Bill Werber demon
Strating base running technique
and sliding. Of course, Babe
Ruth, of the Yankees, gets into
the picture and so do the White
Sox, "Schoolboy" Rowe and the
other diamond celebrities.
When completed the pictures
will show in first-run theaters
with all big league clubs back
of the promotion. The ball play
ers think it's a grand idea. Umps
Moriarty is able to do this be-
cause he has temporarily shed
mask and wind pad while he is
nursing a broken big toe back
