Running wide on an end sweep,
Andy was having the way cleared

break through and get him, Andy
saw his teammate throw "the
greatest block I've ever seen" to
remove the last obstacle from his

1T was so great" Andy says,

Loss Of Fine Pitching
Hurts Both Leaders.

The Yankees can't shake loose the
Red SoX, and the Reds can't pull
away from the Cardinals. who have
been blue August streak
What has happened? The answer
Is easy enough. Both teams have
lost the brilliant pitching that gave
them the jump.
The Reds have Bucky Walters
left. and the Yankees have Red
Ruffing. But most of the others
suddenly have become in-and-out-
ers, even Paul Derringer.
The Cardinals now have four
good pitchers at work, headed by
Curt Davis and Lon Warneke, two
veterans who know the route.
The Red SoX still need better
pitching to help out Lefty Grove.
But they have FoxX. Williams, Gro
min and others to match Di Maggie,
Dickey, Rolfe and Gordon, so far as
attack goes. They are hitting the
ball on par with the Yankees, who
in turn also are looking for bet
ter pitching.

Battle Just Beginning
For Yunks, Reds
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (N.ANAD. d.
Only a short while back the New
York Yankees and the Cincinnati
Reds were on the verge of breaking
up both pennant fights by the mid
die of August Each had a lead of
II games, and each team was breez-
ing along. There was no contest
with l to 20 offered by Jack Doyle
You could hear the gonfalonic
flap from the Bronx to the Buck
eye State. The big show was over.
The curtain was falling. But
the middle of August has slipped
by and if you think the two
pennant races are over you should
look into the harried faces of
Joe Mccarthy and Bill McKech-
ME, the two flag leading man
ayers. If they are happy they
are swell actors. They have a quaint
idea the race isn't quite through
yet-in either league.
Yankees and Reds still are the
highly favored entries, but they are
far from being any sure things.

THE OLD MAID'
 OPENS AT STATE
Experts Believe Story Is Greatest Picture of
 Bette Davis

A story of women in conflict for the love of a child, "The Old Maid" with Bette Davis ascending to new heights of fame, opened yesterday at Warmers air-cooled state. Capa- city audiences attended every per- formance and thrilled to every pull sating scene. Special schedule changes were effected for the pre- miere showing yesterday.
 Experts rate '"The Old Maid" as Miss Davis greatest picture, even surpassing Dark Victory. Here is an adult drama, bringing to the fore the brave sufferings of an aging spinster, when her only love, a founding child, is sought by bitter cousin.
 Suspecting the true relationship Miriam Hopkins wages war on Miss Davis 20 years, seeking to win Jane Bryan, who carries off the role of the child. It's woman's story played by three capable women, with a supporting cast of star rating which falls far short of the marks set by the three leading ladies.
 "The Old Maid" presents Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins as cou- sins in staid old Philadelphia. Mis-! Hopkins jilts her fiance and Miss Davis, while consoling him, con- fesses her own true love. The new love is cut short by a tragic death.
 Time passes. We find Miss Hop. kins an attractive young matron anc Miss Davis withhered spinster--- happy in her care of the little gir founding. Happy until Miss Hop. kins launches her bitter campaign tt win the child.
 The supporting cast include! George Brent, Donald Crisp, Louise Fazenda, James Stephenson, Jerome Cowan, William Lundigan, Cecilia Loftus, Rand Brooks and Jane Shaw. But so far as 'The Old Maid is concerned, the picture center around the emotings of Davis, Hop. kins and Bryan.
 In the companion feature Blonde Takes a Vacation" Penny Singleton plays opposite Arthu Lake.

one of the greatest films of all time. Spencer Tracy, twice winner of the Academy Award, portrays the dar- ing Stanley, crack neWspaperman O. the New York Herald. Starred with him are Nancy Kelly and Richard Greene, heading an imposing cast including Walter Brennan, also an Academy Award winner; Charles Coburn, Sir Cedric HardWicke, as Livingstone; Henry Hull and Henry Travers.
 Into the perilous wilderness of unknown Africa one white man ven- tured to seek another, an impossible Herculean labor marked by innum- erable, nameless terrors-but noth- ing could stop him! Under the di- rection of Henry King, noted for "In Old Chicago" "Alexander's Rag time Band" and Jesse James') the film assumes a top position among the years most notable screen achievements. ....
 But there's more than thrilling adventure to be seen in Stanley and Livingstone" The great reporter found unwilling to be rescued" and learned from the missionary -explor- CT new, heroic meaning in life that sent him back to carry on the great work. Stanley and Livingstone" is a picture not to be missed!
 A backstage phantom who strikes death in full view of theater aud fence is the central figure of "The House Of Fear" the mystery drama which is the second big hit of this program.
 William Gargan and Irene Hervey portray leading roles, and support ing cast of outstanding players is headed by Walter Woolf King, Alan Dinehart and Dorothy Arnold
 Watch for '"The Wizard of Oz" the Metro -Goldwyn Mayer smash tri- umph coming soon to Loew's Poli, filmed entirely in gorgeous techni- color.

NEW CHARACTERS
 IN STRAND FILM
Daughters Courageous to Open Sunday as Part
 of Twin Bill

Performances tomorrow evening at Warner Bros. Starnd theater con- clude the engagement of Robert Donat and Greer Carson in Good bye MT. Chips" also Virginia Bruce and Walter Pidgeon in Stronger Than Desire".
 This years successor to last years memorable -Four Daughters, is another Warner Bros. picture of the joys and sorrows of an amusing and lovable family, entitled Daughters Courageous" scheduled to open a three day engagement at the Strand starting Sunday afternoon.
 The same -Four Daughters" and the same four boy friends in fact the entire -Four Daughters" cast with the exception of two neWcom- CTS are back again in this glorious new treat.
 A new story, new characters, new thrills; all twice as grand as before are the exciting attractions of this outstanding production.
 While it is in no sense sequel to -Four Daughters" since it con- cerns another family played by the same stars, but in a different set- ting, the new picture has many facts of resemblance.
 Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola Lane and Gale Paige are again are again a quartette of lively and af- fectionate sisters in the new film, and they again have Claude Rains as their father. They also have the same suitors, John Garfield and Jeffrey Lynn wing for the hand of Priscilla, McHugh courting Lola, and Dick Foran-this is a slight difference-trying to divide his affections between Rosemary and Gale.
 Even lovable May Robson is again in the cast, though she is not a member of the family this time, be- ing an old servant who has been with them for many years, so many, in fact that she feels she has the right to loud voice in the family's affairs.
 The two newcomers to the cast are Fay Bainter, who is seen as the girls mother and Donald Crisp who takes the part of her middle-aged fiance.
 The high point of the film comes with the sudden and unexpected re- turn of the girls father on the eve of their mothers marriage to her

 well, they took me up on it just like that! Someone telephoned MT Power and found he had little time, and he came over, and I could have just absolutely fainted away, l was that embarrassed. It was done fer a joke, I guess, but l certainly learned right then that a girl had better keep quiet in this business.
 We went ahead and played an awfully romantic scene together and it's a good thing it wasn't in Tech nicolor because I was blushing like a poinsetta all the way through it.
 "Then they really put me to work, and for a while l wasn't sure l was going to like pictures The first oay I reported for The Rains, they poured water on me and tossed me out of rowboat into a roaring flood with a lot of goats and sheep and things And for about month after that hardly a day went by without my taking a shower or bath with my clothes on They took awfully good care of us, though, with nurses and a masseuse on the set.
 I didn't have any lines to say the first day or l would have just died The second day, I had to do some scenes with George Brent and Myrna Loy. They were sweet and told me how to do everything, even how to stand and walk, and they insisted that they had been a lot more uerv- ous than I was"

 Hollywood. - About three months aBo Daryl zanuck's pumpkin coach was sent around to pick up Brenda Joyce, a local coed with blond hair, photogenic features and things, and a luck ratio of 00,000-to-1. She was kissed by Tyrone Power, pumped into an important part in "The Rains came" and now is to have a leading role with Richard Greene.
 Miss Joyce is doing all right, and her latest break is due mostly to the fact that Nancy Kelly has been overworked. Tn six months Miss Kelly has appeared in almost every picture made by 20th-Fox, and the other day somebody discovered that she occupies the top feminine place in four flickers which will be re- leased about the same time. Obvi- ouSly that will be quite enough of a good thing, so Miss Kelly has been taken out of still another film, Here l am a Stranger" and told to take a nice vacation
 Scarcely having caught her breath after being abused in "The Rains, " Miss Joyce was ordered to report for the vacated role. I caught up with her today in the cafe and heard how things are going.
