Kirk Miller Says:

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
comments were quite justified,
Griff also realized Bolton was the
best he had, best he could get at
the moment, and he was practi-
cally stuck with him.
So Griff started the back fires
to meet the blaze of venom that
was being heaped on Clifton
head almost daily in the prints.
One day about midway of the
training season, Griff sought con-
versation with Bolton. Calling him
to his room he pulled the old pa
ternal counsel on him, which in
Griff's book is Formula No. 3XB-
1897 to be found in the chapter on
how to kid a dead ball player into
thinking he is clipper as cricket,
without the use of a pulmotor.
The Old, Old Oil
Quoth Griff to Cliff:
'DOn't pay no tension to
them writer's. They're all lit
tie screwy y'u know, else they
wouldn't be writer's. You got
to be that way in that game.
It's like bridge players, auto
speed racers and walkathOnerS.
"YOu amt so bad. Why, we
had a fellow around here by
the name of Tate who was
twice as punk as you are. All
you need to do is take hold Of
yourself, get some confidence
and make them writer's eat
their words.
"Man alive, / knew a catcher
onct who tripped over his mask
in a world series. 1 think his
name was GOwdy, or some
thing like that. So tomorrow
start in behind that bat and
forget all that has happened
and make believe you are
Dickey, or COchrane, say!"
1t Worked Sweu
And they tell me that Bolton
started in the next day and did
that very thing, which shows
what a little psychology will do
If it is applied at the proper
time and place.
Bolton started the champion
ship season playing bang-up
brand of baseball. He was hardly
a Dickey or a Ferrell nor yet a
Hemsley, even if Rollie did peg
one to center field here last week;
but Cliff certainly didn't look like
the old Bolton during those early
weeks of the season, nor has he
much of the time during the cur
rent home stand.
He is throwing wonderfully
right now, batting better than he
has in some time and altogether
providing a peck of pepper behind
that plate.
Can't EUen Drive One
Today at Roosevelt Field, Long
Island they are turning the first

The first race will be held Octo-
ber IL, which is Columbus Day.
and it is calculated that many
Italian drivers will participate in
the 400-mile run, and no end of
New York Italians sit in at
tendance.
incidentally, President Marshall,
himself, never drove an automo-
bile of any kind, although he owns
one which has running hot and
cold water and folding seats which
make a splendid couch.

REGENT REBUKED
FORWUTSK| STORY
D. A. R. President General
DisavoWs Action Of Penn
SyIvania Woman.

Pointing out that Secretary of Labor
Perkins was guest OF the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution on
the Opening night of their Forty fifth
Continental Congress, Mrs. William
A. Becker. president general OF the
society, issued a formal statement
today disavowing the action of Mrs.
Harper Shepard, Pennsylvania State
regent, in circulating the Matilda
WutsN story" about the cabinet
member.
Last September Mrs. Shepard sent
out the Wutski story in letters on
sylvania State D. A. R. as an argu-
ment for defeating the Kerr Coolidge
immigration bill. The story was a
reprint from the American Vigilante
Intelligence Federation of Chicago,
which referred to the WutSki story.
Miss Perkins Made Denial.
Secretary Perkins, in formal state
ment several weeks ago, denied she
was the Matilda WutSki referred to.
Although the Pennsylvania regent
and Mrs. Becker have been good
friends, the statement of the president
general today was taken as direct
reproof.
She said:
This is a State matter, which
does not concern the national organi-
cation. We do not attack personality.
Our opposition to the Kerr-Coolidge
immigration bill is confined solely to
certain provisions in the measure.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution indorse no individual or
group of individuals or any sentiment
expressed by any speaker except by
resolution or motion approved by a
vote of its own members.
Secretary Frances Perkins was the
guest of the National Society. Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, and
sat on the stage of Constitution Hall
on the opening night of our Forty
fifth Continental Congress"
Opposed to Statements.
Amplifying the formal statement,
Mrs Becker explained she was op-
posed to sending out any statements
by anybody without verification."
The first publication given the
Matilda Wutski story came when
Secretary Perkins denied she was the
Matilda Wutski who was married TO
a Paul Wilson in Newton. Mass, in
1910. She explained she was married
In New York City on September 26,
1918, to Paul Caldwell Wilson. She
charged the story had been spread
with the malicious intent to defame
the administration
Mrs. Shepard on the D. A. r. letter.
head quoted this language concerning
Secretary Perkins:
Frances Perkins said she was
born n Boston, April 10, 1882. There
is no record of her birth in the Boston
register for 1882. Her husbands name
is given as Paul Wilson. The only
record of marriage of Paul Wilson
was to Matilda Wutski at Newton,
Mass, in 1910. Secretary Perkins gave
Emma Goldman (Communist) per-
mession to enter the United States.
Secretary Perkins has decreased alien
deportation 60 per cent. She Is known
as the friend Of aliens"
Secretary Perkins, in denying this
charge, said she was descended from
New England family which had been
in this country for several generations.

Bomar Cramer
Adds Variety

In bringing to indianapolis the
first all-Chopin recital in a decade,
Bomar Cramer, in his concert at
Englishs tomorrow afternoon, is to
present program wisely chosen to
display the varied styles found in
the Polish masters works.
Though all of Chopin's music
bears the stamp of his individual
expression, it is cast N many mu-
steal forms. The fantasies and bal
lads, each of which is represented
in tomorrow's program, almost may
be said to be of the composers own
invention.
Though the forms and names
existed before Chopin, modern con-
ception of these types is based on
his treatment. With preludes, ma
zurkas and etudes (to name only
three) Chopin has influenced scores
of later composers,
First Appearance Here
Mr.. Cramer, whose performance
tomorrow is his first and perhaps
his only appearance here this season
is we'll known as an interpreter of
Chopins music.
His concert plans for the remain
der of the season are tentative, but
probably are to include series of
recitals in Texas in the spring, and
concerts in Mexico City next sum-
mer.
According to present arrange
ments, Mr.. Cramer's appearances in
Mexico are to include one as solosit
with the National Symphony Or
chestra under direction of Carlos
Chavez.

Gable Remembers
$5-a-Day Struggle

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 11.-There
is cherished sheet of paper in
Clark Gables dressing room which
reminds the screen star that he
has advanced a long way in pic
lures.
1t is documentary proof that Ga
BILE once was a film actor at SIS a
day.
He found it in a pile of dust
covered papers on his desk and
framed it, placing it over his dress
ing table with the inscription, "Just

The paper is a voucher sheet for
a days work in 1924 when he was
one of So extras in Sporting

Sweet. Gwen Lee also received SIS
as an extra that day.

Some people have maintained that
Shirley is merely a well-trained
little actress without insight into
what she was doing. Consciously,
she is a sweet-tempered baby with
unusually keen perception; uncon-
sciously, she is a genius.
These are the observations of DR..
Neil D. Warren of the psychology
department of the University of
California, made without the knowl-
edge of the child actress.
DR.. Warren asserts that the re-
markable quality of her genius is
indicated in her complete lack of
affectation When she finishes
scene she becomes little child, in
terested solely in her dolls and
games.
DR.. Warren noted with particular
interest the result of the Benet in
telligence test given Shirley by au
thorities of Leland Stanford Uni
versity. The average rating for
children her age is 100 and in the
graduated ratings 135 is considered
that of a genius. Shirley crashed
through with the amazing score of
1855.
In addition to her English vocabu-
larry of $50 words, which is far above
average, Shirley converses freely in
French, of which she knows 300
words. She has been assigned to "a
grade in the special school studio.
Her parents, wishing her to re-
main a sweet, natural child, guard
against her developing into a
wizened infant prodigy and have
directed her educational program
toward a sensible limiting OF her
mentality.
Shirley has two personalities
herself and the character she plays
and is a natural interpreter OF
stories" says DR.. Warren. The boy
who can recite from memory all the
batting averages of the baseball
PLAYERS in the big leagues is not a
genius. He concentrates his entire
mental energy on that one subject.
Miss Temple is interested in lie ano
people and is interested IN a. tnat
transpires about her."

Meanwhile, Alice Faye, as the girl
who has loved Mr.. Baxter vainly
since she danced in his burlesque
chorus, goes to London and makes
money on the English stage. When
she hears of Mr.. Baxter's plight she
returns, finances a new show
through down-and-out East
Slider Gregory Ratoff), who imper-
sonates a Russian millionaire-evi-
IDENTIFY not good Communist-and
wins her man.
The picture rather hurries
through to the finale of the come
back production, which closes the
movie as well. And it's really ele-
CANT, even in this day of super
musicals. There are no colossal"
chorus routines, shot from dozens of
angles, but the dancing of little
Dixie Dunbar and Nick Long Jr,
and the singing and piano playing
of Fats Waller make the picture
something to see.
Supporting Cast Strong
The supporting cast is strong. In
fact, every one seems to do better
than the stars. Mr.. Baxter turns in a
routine performance, and Miss Faye's
is somewhat less than that, nor are
her singing or dancing particularly
exciting.
Jack Oakie is better even than
his usual very good. He pliers every
scene he is in, and not entirely be-
cause of the fact that he has all
ne good lines in the script. Airline
Judge, who has leading comedy
role, we should be glad to see more
often.
Much credit for the pictures en-
tertainment value should go to Ted
Koehler and Lew Pollack for the
shows tunes, of which I'm Shootin'
High" is particularly good, and to
Sammy Lee, who directed the
dances. The orchestra arrange
ments are grand.
Old Home Week on Stage
It's Old Home Week on the Lyric
stage this week, with Terre Haute's
rotund Johnny Perkins as mas
ter Of ceremonies and co-featured
comedian with the silent Fred San
born.
Both boys have been here before
and the audience today was glad to
see them. Johnny has the infec-
tious good nature which is supposed
to accompany corpulence, and his
droll, offhand storytelling always
is good.
Sanborn might almost be COM
pared to Harpo Marx, though his
style is his own. His act is the same

Miss Blair was a difficult person
with whom to do business. She
grew to hate producers during the
year and half she was in Holly
wood, and producers cringed when
she entered the door.

He attributes Shirley's prolific
versatility not to what generally is
known as subconscious power, but
rather, to the mystery of the uncon-
Scious.
The following case is cited as an
example,. Director David Butler was
giving instructions to the technl-
clans and players. Every one in the
range of his voice with the excep-
ton of Shirley Temple was listening
with expressions of intent concen-
tration. Shirley, seated 30 feet IN
the air at the top of circular STAIR
way, was smiling down across the
big stage to spot where her
Stand-in and studio playmate, Mary
Lou Isleib, was playing a game. Ao-
parently, she was ignoring the Oh
rector's instructions.
"All right, let's CO." called Mr..
Butler. Ready, Shirley"
"Okay." she answered, ana de-
scended the stairway, reciting anus
ing dialogue and performing an in
tricate dance step that depended for
it's perfect rhythm on the co-ordi-
nation of her voice and the tap OF
her shoes on the iron steps.
What actually happened" eX-
planned DR.. Warren, was that Shir-
ley's unconscious mind roved to the
game she enjoys playing, while But
Ter was giving his directions But
her conscious mind was taking in
every word he spoke, and she was
absorbed in the scene she WAS ABOUT
to make, actually rehearsing it,"
