HOLLYWOOD SPORT
 LITES
By Chuck Cochard

HOLLYWOOD, (Exclusive) - The finn producers are constant ly in a dither as to what will please the cinema-going public. For instance, at the present time, they are witnessing a period of stories with silly plots and noth- ing stable to them.
 As examples we might mention "Sing Baby Sign, Wake Up and Live Waikiki Wedding" "On The Avenue" and more recently the Marx Brothers latest opus "A Day at the Races, which has broken all attendance in theatres it has played thus far. The pub lie wants this sort of slap-stick comedy in preference to anything else. These pictures are money makers While a good show like Captains Courageous" which should be placed at the top of the best ten of the year isn't ev- en getting its share of the theatre patronage.
 Now the trend is to find these silly slap-stick stories and rush them through production 10 meet the demands of audiences, be- cause no one knows this trend may end tomorrow or next week.
 The Week in Review
 From inside circles, your truly hears that Marion Davies is plan ming to retire from the screen af- ter two more p.ctures-Tne late Jean HarloW's stand-in Mary Dees for the past two years, has been chosen to take over Miss Har- lows role in Saratoga. Miss Dees has been dancing in the Buddy Rogers musical This Way Please" Although your cores pondent can't quite see Miss Dees for that role, the picture cant help but make money.

 The most expensive kiss n nis- tory has been filmed. It cost Sam uel Goldwyo S3,OOO for John Hall to kiss Dorothy Lamour in "Hur- ricane" because it takes place un- der water and in order to film it, glass tank 20 feet square and ten feet deep had to be built The latest word about Gone With the Wind" is that it will not go before the cameras for seven months, however Walter Con- nolly has been selected for feat ured part. You Gable fans may see Clarke in the role of Brett Butler as MGM will loan him if Selznick will release the vehicle through their studio and he has the privilege of doing as he de- sires.

 Whom They Select
 The promoters accept persons indiscriminately up to the age of eightyfive years, yet they claim the strength of the society lies in the membership because it is "so carefully selected" They stress the point that no medical examination is required, and es- pecially appeal to those persons who, because of advanced age or physical infirmities, can not ob- tain any form of life protection" Literature of these concerns con- .ains many false representations, including statements of fraternal and benevolent features; and the claim that they are operated on the same basis and plans of the old insurance societies which have been successfully operated in Eur ope since the year ll68.
 The Ins and Outs
 People of sixty to eightyfve years of age, many of whom are suffering from some chronic ail- ment unknown to them, are led to believe that, for monthly contribution of one dollar to one dollar and half, their beneficiar- ies will receive sums ranging from one thousand to five thou

The promoters make every effort 10 show he was suff- ering from some chronic disease at the time the certificate was issued, and they usually find some pretense on which to deny the claim. Consequently, no pay ment is made to the beneficiary, or the claim is settled for nom- inal sum of from one dollar to fifteen dollars.

that the Morristown five has won

The team is considered one of the

Table Net Stars
Treat Fans

Whenever a worlds champion is
defeated, it's news.
Whenever a worlds champion,
and the runner-up for the world s
title, paired together, are de-
feated, that's news, too.
Last night, in Heurich's gym,
Standa Kolar, of Prague, Czecho'
slovakia, worlds titlist at table
tennis, and Laszlo Bellak, of Bu-
dapest, Hungary, runner-up for
the world title last year, went
down in defeat before the United
States combination of Robert
Bud" Blattner, of st. Louis, and
Sander Glance, Of New York, three
matches to two.
In describing the American
team, however, it must be stated
that Blattner is coholder of the
world title with Kolar, and that
Glance is a former No. / table
tennis player of the world, which
facts rather take the edge off the
defeat of a champion and runner
up.
Blattner started the U. S. A.
team off on the right foot when
he defeated Ballak, ALT, 8-21,
Ala, and then won from Kolar,
22-20, 21-11. In the doubles
match, Blattner and Glance won
from the foreign pair, 21-16, 26
-28, 24-22. Glance lost to Ko-
lar, ALT, 21-10, and then lost
to Ballak, 18-21, 21-18, 21-15.
Ballak defeated Kolar, 21-15, 13

BARRIERS n ca r
Penndnt
BY SID KATZNELL

Although they dropped all three
games to Arcade-Sunshine last
night at Arcadia, Vincent BARRIERS
are practically assured of the pen
nant in the Columbia Heights
Bowling League today.
Their nearest rival, Cool's Foun-
tain failed to take advantage of a
golden opportunity, losing a pair
of games to C. & c. Restaurant.
The BARRIERS hold a two-game lead
and the league concludes activities
for the 1936-37 season next week.
Living up to his reputation of a
go-getter of the first water, Dave
Burrows, president of the Colum-
bia Heights League, has entered
his entire 10 teams in the Washing
ton City Duckpin Association
tournament, which starts April 20
at the Lucky Strike.
Last nights high team honors
in the Columbia were garnered by
the Hertz aggregation, which shot
a 604 game and 1853 total. Pete
Metrakos, of Grady & Sharp, stole
individual laurelS with a 1894 set.
American Security and Trust
can cop the flag in the Bankers
League by taking the odd game
from City Band in a roll-off to-
night at Arcadia alleys. The
former holds a one-game lead.

Gossip
By PADDOCK

The Glen Riddle Farms horses,
who were wintered at Berlin, Md,
down on the Eastern Shore, will
be vanned tomorrow to Havre de
Grace to await the opening OF
the Hartford Agricultural and
Breeders Association 14-day meet
ing beginning Monday, April IL.
Trainer George Conway has
the Riddle horses well engaged
in the four major stakes to be
run during the Havre de Grace
meeting. He is especially high
on War Admiral who is being
groomed for the Chesapeake on
April "a and the Kentucky Derby.
War Admiral, according to
Trainer Conway, has filled out
considerably and has been gallop-
ing steadily for the past month.
The son of Man O. War defeated
the best juveniles in training
here last fall and may come up
the public choice for the Chesa-
peake.
Bud Stotler, head trainer for
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, stated
this morning he will send only
few horses to Bowie. The
Bowie contingent will be COM
prised of the horses that raced
the past winter in California.
The sudden cold spell which
struck this State threw many OF
the Vanderbilt horses back in
their work, therefore Stotler will
reserve them for the Havre de
Grace meeting.
Harry Richards is due from
Columbia, S. c., where he went
after winning the 100000 Santa
Anita Handicap with the Fox
catcher Farms RoSemont. He
will be seen in the saddle at Bowie

Richards engagements there.
