they offer the moviegoer e pano- rama of dramatic entertainment which leaves very little to De de- sired.
 Even if the play were not as clever as 1t is, the mere spectacle of seeing SO imposing on array Of celebrities in one film as Marie Dressler, the two Barrymores, Wal. lace Beery, Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Edmund Lowe, Billie Burke, Madge Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen Nor. ley, Louise Closer Hale, Phillips
 Holmes and May Robson would Do enough to stimulate ones cinema appetite. Moreover, the picture has been so artfully contrived that prac- tically each and every one of these well-known Hollywood headliners has Q big scene to himself.
 Clark Gable and Myrna Loy head the cast of ''Men in White, the co- feature. It is based on the famous New York stage play of the same name and is Q story told in vivid strokes of life in Q great modern hospital. Medical men are its heroes and it's villains. The nohil. fly of q superior profession Is ex- tolled in high drama.
 Gable, as pr. Ferguson, . young interne, is ambitious to become . great surgeon like his mentor, Dr. Hochberg, but he is in love with a young heiress. The two, in the de- manding bushes sof surgery, do not go together.
 If you have seen either or both of these pictures you will want to see them again, and if you haven't you will avail yourself of this op- l portunity to see two of the greatest 1 pictures of all time.

 Tomorrow's all new show will Dc headlined by the screens new love team, Loretta Young and Robert Taylor in Private Number.
 Taylor and Miss Young certainly seem the perfect love-teafn. His dark handsomeness and youthful banter are perfect complements for Loretta's wide.eyed beauty and ap- peal. And to top 1t of, 'private Number" is the outstanding TO- mantle hit of the year.

 The romance blossoms into full bloom when Loretta accompanies the family to their summer home in Maine and one moonlit night while Taylor and Loretta are crius- ing on the lake, they decide to get married.

All the glitter, oil the color, noise and fun of dozen circuses, with the addition of the greatest oTae- man circus on the, American screen are rolled into Poppy" starring w. 0. Fields, now In It's fourth record breaking week ct the New York Paramount theater, which begins . four.day engagement ct Warner Brothers State theater today.
 "Poppy" marks the return Of Fields to the movies after . critical illness of more than eight months. It is probably the most triuEnphal return ever staged by Q screen tav- orite.
 The story is one in which Fields set America roaring years ego on the stage; the first in which he transformed himself from Q pan- tomimist and juggler to the ace of ell dead-pan comedians, bulwarked by the amusement worlds most dis. tinctive line of ponderously-w -worded monologue. Poppy" Is c carnival story: which means that Fields glories in 1t as . thing which is his natural element. 1t is set in 1888; which means that Fields walks and talks in the garb of the period he likes best to inter- pret. It casts him as lovable rogue whose pompous fakery clears the way for the romance of Q pair of youngsters, which means Fields is in character.
 Lending capable support to the star are such talented performers as Rochelle Hudson, Richard Crom. well, Lynne Overman, Catherine

of these Legion tournaments.
Melvin OFT, of the Giants, played
some baseball with the Gretna,
La. Legion team, but he first at.
tracted attention as member OF
the local high school nine.
Sought Bill Terry
Indeed, it was the ambition of
Lewis to play on the Giants. He
sought Bill Terry, leader of the
Gotham National League team,
asking only for a chance. Terry,
cold to the kid. repealed him.
Lewis went to the Chattanooga
Lookouts, and the rest is history.
Leslie Mann, former right
fielder of the Boston Braves and
New York Giants, among other
clubs. attempted to interest the
major leagues in substituting an
amateur baseball organization in
which he, Harry VOTERS, one-tlme
Yankee star, and current coach OF
Leland Stanford UniverSity's base
ball forces, and other baseball
men are interested. Mann's plea
was turned down cold, but he
stuck right with his idea, and he
is leading the baseball team to
Berlin to demonstrate baseball in
the Olympic games.
Mann'S forces are recruited
from the college diamonds, sand
lots and schools of the country.
He, Wolter and the others have
labored with their charges until

Baseball Men Scott
Baseball men are inclined to
scott when observant veterans OF
the sports field warn of the in
roads of softball, lawn tennis,
golf and other activities. But in
St. Louis, for instance, you can
get crowds of $500 a night to a
softball double-header. In
crowded cities fields are not
available, and the softball offers
medium for exercise.
At the same time, baseball men
are not blind to the splendid work
of the American Legion. and as
tournaments promoted under its
kindly and patriotic auspices send
young ball players up to the major
leagues, the subsidy unqueStion-
ably will be increased, and per
haps the field of patronage broad
ened.

Sdrron Looking
To Title Bout
With Manuel

Petey Sarron, featherweight
champion, today was looking to
his title bout with Baby Manuel.
July %, in Texas. with greater
confidence following his five-round
knockout of Bobby Dean. Phila-
delphia, before $500 fans in Grit
fifth Stadium last night.
Though Sarron had dropped
Dean to the canvas five times be-
fore putting over the kayo wallop,
the fight was a whirlwind from
the opening gong. In fact, Sarron
didn't escape untouched and was
nailed with a crisp right to the
briSket in the fourth.
Dean hit the floor in the first
for a five-count when Sarron
landed a left hook to the chin,
sarron's foe came back strong in
the second with a left to the head
that dazed the titleholder.
Both were careful in the third,
but they cast caution aside in the
fourth and the fans were brought
to their feet with two-fisted action.
Sarron charged from his corner at
the bell for the fifth and belab-
ored the Philadelphia with a
heavy attack that finally crumpled
Dean to the floor, a right to the
chin being the lethal punch.
In the preliminaries. Jackie Car

Team Work Aids
Nationals
Triumph

Organization and preparation,
two factors heretofore lacking,
stand out today as the motivat-
ing forces behind the National
Leagues 4-to-3 victory over the
American loop in yesterdays all
star game at Boston.
Perhaps for the first time since
the an-star games were inaugu-
rated four years ago, the National
League presented a united team,
strong in every respect and all
working for a common cause
victory. That they accomplished
with errorless ball and timely hits
behind the masterful pitching OF
Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell,
even though the remaining
hurlers, curt Davis and Lon War
neke, were not so effective.
Supported by an alright de-
tense, this quartet muffled bats
of the American sluggers, granting
only seven hits while the Ma
tionals slapped out nine.
Speed and Dash
The speed and dash Of the Ma.
tionals was something to behold
when compared with that of for
mer years. Last year considerable
criticism resulted from use of the
Deans and Warneke in games two
DAYS before the All-Star battle.
But this year it was different.
President Ford Prick advocated a
change of policy and Charlie
Grimm, Mats manager, displayed
exceptional judgment in selecting
his team.
Placed on the spot in the most
publicized game of the season, Joe
DiMaggio, Yankee rookie, turned
out to be the goat" Of the battle.
Still, Lady Luck was not so gen.
erous to Joe, classified among the
Yankees murderers row. who
failed to hit safely in five trips
to the plate. In the field he was
none too spectacular. His play
of Harnett's triple which resulted
in two runs was, in the opinion
of experts, bad judgment.
Gehrig Drives in Two
With two out and the sacks
loaded in the seventh after Lou
Gehrig slapped a homer and the
Americans added Two more runs
for their three scores, DiMaggio
rifled line drive. Unfortunately,
Shortstop Leo Durocher speared
the ball without moving, prevent
ing Joe from being a hero instead
of a goat.
