HITTING POWER IS PAP MARGIN
 IN BALL FIGHT
Final Complete Figures Re- leased on l938 Gastineau
 Channel Loop Season

That it is the power to rap out base hits and drive home those runs that makes baseball champs, was again demonstrated by the Moose in taking the 1888 Gastineau Chan mel League championship. According to complete individual and team averages for both the regular sea- son and the playoff series, now re- leased, the Moose are shown lead ing the list in hitting but trailing both the Elks and Douglas in field ing: whereas, the top fielding team Douglas, is at the rear of the league when it comes to knocking the ap- pie.
 That the Moose, however, had that most vital heart of a pennant winning club, strong Second-baSe combination, is shown by the fact that they top both other clubs in double plays. Also due to the greater number of times they put men aboard the bags, the Moose are far in front in both the number of runs scored and the number of runners left to die on bases.
 Team averages for the 1888 regu- lar season are.

LORRE SUPER SLEUTH
 AT COLISEUM
TT hin k Fast Mir. Moto, Saturday Evening Post
 Detective Story

From the pages of The Saturday Evening Post now steps the amaz- ing MT. Motto, his eyes as mild as his timid smile, his mind as quick as his trigger finger. Pete Lore, the screens master of impersona- tion, thrillingly portrays J. P. Mar quands dimnutive Japanese master of crime detection, in Twentieth Century-FoX's TT h ink Fast, MT Moto," which will open tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Millions of Post readers asked to see him on the screen, and now the Japanese sleuth thrills movie audi ences with his exploits. Interna- tionally famous as a character actor, Lorre finds this his most difficult role, as in a few sequences he is called upon for a triple im- personation. A Hungarian by birth, Lorre as MT. Moto must imperson- ate a Japanese, and in the char acter of MT. Moto he must imper- senate an Armenian. This subtle triple play of characterization, as a Hungarian impersonateS Jap aneSe imperSonating an Armenian, adds new acclaim to the stars reputation for remarkable versatil- ity in his portrayals.
 Uirui,,io I1;a1J o,-l IooaI~ are featured in the romantic roles, and it is due only to MT. Moto's tireless persistence and sense of timing that the mystery and danger which threatens their romance is cleared up. Victims of an interna- tional smuggling ring, headed by Sig Rumann, the couple are in a precarious position in Rumanns s Shanghai cafe until their Japanese friend doffs his timid demeanor for the exciting climax.
 MT Moto is a character not en- tirely above suspicion himself, for, as created by J. P. Marquand, he is neither sinner nor saint exclusively, in which spirit Howard Ellis Smith and Norman Foster skillfully adapt ed the screen play.
 Foster also directed the picture, which executive producer Sol M. Wurtzel promises is the first of a series to feature fiction's most dramatic and unsual sleuth.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 7.-Before sound, Hollywood was isolated, pro- vincial, smugly complacent over its realization that in it's field - the making of silent movies-it was su- preme in the world.
 But sound upset the Hollywood apple cart.
 In those placid days immediate ly preceding the talkies, if you read the movie chatter columns, you followed the doings of Connie Talmadge and sister Norma, Phyl- lis Haver Billie Dove, Evelyn Brent, Dolores Costello, Dolores del Rio and others equally famous You might have read how Colleen Moore, a reigning queen, was boosting the new career of little Gretchen now Ooretta Young how Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell had just clicked in "Sev- enth Heaven" Will Rogers was Hopping as silent actor in "The Texas Steer"-but his subtitles were liked. Joan Crawford was a hey-hey girl; Charles Buddy" Rogers, a youthful heartbeat.
 New Fame For Some
 There were Chaplin, Pickford Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd, Corinre Griffith, Norma Shearer, Ramon Novarro, Clara Bow, Alice White many others John Gilbert was the screens great lover" Garbo his romantic partner
 Some of these were destined to achieve new fame in the talkies.

Erskine Leads Hurlers

Though meeting up with the most defeats he has suffered during his years of hurling in the local loop, Claude Erskine proved himself still the Gastineau Channel Leagues top hurler during the 1888 campaign by ending the season with the lowest earned runs average of any regu- lar finger. AS earned runs are the tell-tale figure in determining a heaver's effectiveness, a great part of his losses is shown due to the lack of hitting support behind him.
 Joe McNamee made brief appear ances on the mound for the Moose Tn relief roles, without allowing any earned runs, but can not be con- Adered among the ranks of regular pitchers. McNamee and three other hurlers, Hagerup, Koski and Fultz 'lhlshed with perfect won and lost records, each receiving credit for enc win. Johnny Smith, however, WiIh wins and only 3 losses proved 'iie top pitcher in winning games.
 ErSkine again went to the front, when It came to strikeouts, flaming
 oatters, or 1.67 per inning pi'ciled. smith not only hurled the sleatest number of innings. 69 2/3 put walked the least men per in- mug ''l4 or total of ID. Smith was touched for the most hits anc Ei iskihe the least of any of the hardest working hurlers.

JUDY GARLAND STARS IN FILM
 HERE TONIGHT
Everybody Sign Is Hilar- ious Comedy Open
 ing at Capitol

Many pictures have made people role in the aisles, but tonight at the Capitol Theatre Everybody Swing will have them swinging in the aisles to the fast tempo of music and laughter in this gay madcap comedy.
 The nine tunes in the musical, from the burlesqued Dainty, Quainty Me" to the love song, The One I Love-" are the kind you hum on the way out.
 Something new Tn the way of screen teams is presented by Allan JoneS, as the singing chef, and little Judy Garland, as the girl who can't keep away from swing music Billie Burke, as the actress, and Reginald Owen, as her play wright husband and Judy's father are outstanding in their portrayals, Reginald Gardiner also scores as the ham" actor.
 Fanny Brice as Louisa, the maid does a song and dance to the tune of Dainty, Quainty Me-" and stops he show, making it impossible to hear the dialogue in the following scenes.
 The story, cleverly written by Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf, concerns Judy Garland, who gets expelled from school for singing swing during classes. Her family send her to Europe, but she sneaks off the boat at the dock when she realizes that they are stone broke. With the aid of Jones, their chef, she puts on a musical show that is success and is able to keep her family from the poorhouSe.
