progression, will give you little en-
CO, gagement as to the worlds working
right. 1t isn't and it hasn't. But while
factories go ahead in their dead level
way and Miss Goddard gets kicked in
the teeth because her parents made
her what Is called IAN orphan" Chap
lin exhibits his amazing versatility in
the faSt-forgotten art Of pantomime
and makes you laugh when you had
perhaps expected to cry.
u X
"MODERN TIMES" may not be the
AVA funniest of Chaplin's films but
it Is one of the subtlest. He talks only
in song and the song is only partly
intelligible and in that way he Is say
ing to his vast audience: Nov when
you begin to understand me I shall
perhaps begin to understand you"
1t seems as If he is trying to pave
the way for the future. He isn't being
loud and he isn't being soft, but
always, no matter what he does. he Is
the same old man with the akimbo
feet who charmed the world a few
years ago when it was plunged into
even more bitter times.
So II you don't like Chaplin you
don't like silence and small music and
lips which speak but don't sound out
loud. And you no longer care for the
art of pantomime which long since
has seemed outmoded and you dis
trust scenes in which the manager of
giant factory does away with one of
his employees because the latter
couldn't do the one small chore which
was intrusted him.
In ether words, you don't like Chap
lin. The fact remains, however, that in
Modern Times," while some Of me
srown-uos may envy the past AID
wish it was back on them, the young
sters are only too glad to get glimpse
Of the great man whose myths have
been relayed to them every morning
since they were two.
Chaplin still has tricks and humor
and pathos at his command. He is
still funny. He still has his feet, his
hat, his cane and his circulating eye
brows. He may not tell you the yarn
Of a Wife VS.. Secretary" but what
he does tell you we think you'll want
to hear. Even If it isn't audible it's the
strange sort Of stuff out of which
greatness is made. And Miss Goddard
is an invaluable aide.

DEAL WITH TRIBE
Washington Likely to Wind
Up Owning HemsIey or
PytIak This Winter.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN.

=
TINE Winter base ball meeting was
q thing of the past today and
Clark Griffith was back at his
= desk. empty-handed save for
the three-cornered deal that brought
him young Johnny Salveson in eX-
change for Earl Whitehill. Before the
clarion call for Spring training Is
sounded, however, you can look for the
Washington ball club to have a new
catcher in the person of either Rollick-
ing Rollie Hemsley or frankie Pytlak.
Signs at least pointed to such turn
Of events today. following the arrival
home of Griff and his encourage. The
Washington-Detroit deal fell through.
at least tor the time being, and the
lengthy negotiations between Gritf and
Rogers Hornsby, designed to bring
Hemsley to Washington, ended with
nothing happening.
Hornsby's parting with Griff, how
ever, held semi-promise to reopen
trade talk at later date. The Browns,
Hornsby made it plain, first wanted to
swing a big trade with Cleveland. In
this deal. according to those supposedly
'in the know" Hemsley. Outiielder
Julius Solters and possibly Lyn Larry
will be shipped to Cleveland in ex-
change for Pytlak, Joe vosmik and
possibly Bill Knickerbocker and Oral

~ NE angle that seems TO have
been overlooked at the Win.
Y ter baseball meeting in New
York is that Manager Steve
ONeill. with a def trading move
and Judge Lands decision on the
Feller case, has acquired for Cleveland
probably the best pitching stan in the
American League.
There were some critics at the
Gotham convention who felt that
Cleveland received the worst Of the
three-cornered trade that sent Thorn
ton Lee from the Indians to Chicago.
Johnny Salveson from the White Sox
to Washington, and Earl Whitehill
from the Nationals to Cleveland.
This was . contention based
chiefly on the fact that White
hill will be 81 years old In Febru-
ary, while Lee just turned 20
and Salveson will be % next
month.
It is likely, however, that O'Nein
went into the trade with his eyes wide
open. The move whereby Cleveland
got . pitcher with perhaps only two
more wears Of service left undoubtedly
meant that O'Neill Is pointing for 1887

A Joy 70 Magnates.

THE decision was read at the joint
meeting Of the American and Ma.
tional Leagues, and the ball barons
enjoyed 1t. The Judge had stalled 20
long about giving Q verdict that they
were beginning to be afraid that he
would turn on them and make Feller q
free agent. That would have hurt
their feelings and their profits, be-
cause the barons long have made Q
practice Of signing players direct from
the sandlots. evading the letter Of the
law by various subterfuges.
Here, for instance, is what Judge
lands says the Cleveland club did in
Feller's case.
cleveland" he says, Recommended

Hornsby Waits on Tribe.

NTATURALLY I'd like to make this
trade first Hornsby told Griffith,
land before swinging a deal with
Washington I'd prefer to wait until
the Cleveland business either is settled
or definitely cancelled"
In Hornsby's statement there was a
thinly veiled half-promise to trade
with Washington, regardless Of whether
the Cleveland deal with the Browns
was made or called of. If the Browns
Indians swap Is not made, Washington
later this Winter may ship Catcher
Cliff Bolton, a choice Of outfielders-
Carl Reynolds or Jesse Hill-and one
or two minor members of the pitching
staff to st. Louis in return for Hemsley.
II the Cleveland-St. Louis deal is
made, then Griffith will open negoti-
atoms with Hornsby again and attempt
to pry Pytlak from him by using the
same bait. Hornsby has q fair sort of a
rookie catching prospect in Angelo
GiuliAni and If he traded with Wash
ington he also would have Bolton.
Pitchers are Rogers crying need.

Tiger Deal May Be on.


D EGARDLESS OF what club WASH
ington gets its new catcher from,
the receiver, in the end. is likely to
be Pytlak. That. at least, is the way
this correspondent understood it..
Grifith and Harris are believed to
hold Hemsleys ball playing ability in
slightly higher regard than Pytlak's
but his bad boy" reputation has them
scared.
They are, nevertheless. anxious to
get Hersley and probably are willing
to put forth more talent In exchange
for Pollicking Rollie than for Pytlak
for the simple reason that Cleveland
wants Hemsley. The National bosses
may feel that If the Indians want
Rollie as badly as some people say then
Washington will be able to get a
pitcher, as well as Pytlak, in exchange
for Hemsley.
+ Before he left New York, Griffith
conferred again with Mickey Cochrane
on the deal which would have sent
Buck Newsom to Detroit in exchange
for Eden Auker, Jake Wade and Pete
Fox. They still could not reach an
agreement and Grif admitted later
there was slim chance Of negotiations
being reopened.
