HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26.-With

respondents daily covering" Hol-
lywood for world news, the mo-
ton picture great have each de-
veloped an individualitic tech
nique in interviews, well known
to the writer's.
Most of the stars prefer being
interviewed while they are in
production or preparing for a
new picture, thus conserving their
free time between films for rest
and privacy.
Some give their lunch hours
over to the scriveners, while
others prefer to see them on the
set, for SnatcheS of conversation
while the camera is being moved
from one position to another.

Pitchers Take Punishment.

RUCKY had right to feel a little
peeved today. In the last two
games his pitchers have been blasted
for 80 base hits and 27 runs by Detroit
and Boston and it's gotten under his
skin. Weaver and Russell haven't
been the only hurlers to take beat
ings, but the others, Jimmy De Shong
and Ed Linke, looked a bit more i'm
pressive. in Harris mind. He has
no alternative but to regard De Shong
and .Linke as two of his first-stringers,
but Bucky wants to see how Lana
han and Coppola compare with Rus
sell and Weaver in the second line of
pitching.
After impressive starts against the
Phillies, Monte and Jack have en-
countered their troubles. Weaver,s last
two appearances on the slab, opposing
Detroit and Cincinnati, have resulted
in his being nicked for eight runs and
10 hits in six innings of toll.
Russell. hurting against Boston and
Chattanooga in his last couple ap-
pearanceS, was touched for nine runs
and 20 hits in six innings. Neither re-
ceived a great deal of defensive help,
and both were victims of fluke hits oy
the opposition, but at the same time
there seems to be an idea they might
have done better.
Russell and Weaver are better than
that" stated Harris, but right now
neither seems ready. Neither Jack nor
Monte has had his stuff" on the ball,
and while they're going about pitch
ing themselves into better shape I'm
going to see just what I can expect
from Lanahan and Coppola.
