The love interest of "Gunga Din"
is unusually subordinate. The sim

she should contribute much to the

"Gunga Din" is one of the most
spectacular pictures of the last few
months. But it is not content to
be merely that, for it also has
vitality as enormous as the back

thinks the habit has some value, for
he waves the handkerchief to cue
players in action and dialogue.
When you watch Director Alexan-

he's through directing, he carefully
puts the ax-handle on his desk, then
the next morning attacks it again.
John Ford used to be a handker-

scene, he stuffed a hanky in his
mouth and gnawed on it, until one
day he NEARLY strangled himself.
Now he's pipestem-mangler. He
bites right through a stem every day

Sidney Lanfield is known by his

William Dieterle never thinks of

Lovenbein Pays Up Back Rent,
Blocks Parking Lot Eviction

Samuel Lovenbein's battle nag
continued to wave over the Munich
pal Center Parking Lot today as the
District Commissioners forces, rout-
ed in confusion yesterday, gathered
for another eviction attempt.
Whether another court fight was
in prospect or whether an attempt
would be made to revive the Mu-
nicipal Court writ of restitution that
failed yesterday was not decided, but
some kind of a determined effort at
re-possession was expected.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Chester Gray, who had been conf
dent the writ could force Mr.. Loven-
bein from the lot whether he paid
back rent due or not, could hardly
believe the writ had failed when in
formed of the news yesterday.
Told that United States Deputy
Marshal r. L. De Ruiz had accepted
a certified check for $2,400 and $2.85
in cash for court costs, Mr.. Gray ex-
pressed the belief that the marshal
could have evicted Mr.. Lovenbein
even after the money was paid. Mr..
Gray would not comment on future
plans for eviction, declaring that 1t
was up to the H. L. Rust Co., real
estate firm representing the Com
missioners.
Late yesterday Deputy Marshal
De Ruiz, accompanied by five other
deputies, descended upon Mr.. Loven-
bein in another of a series of at
tempts to force him off the lot that
began August l. His lease expired
at that time and the District Com
missioners have been trying to turn
the lot over to the Grand Plaza
Parking Area, Inc, whose bid of
$2,256 per month was $500 more
than that submitted by Mr.. Loven-
bein.

Match Play at
P. 6. A. Meet.
Medal Test Desired

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. "a
Rumbling of an impending revolu-
ton within the ranks of the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association were
heard here while the country's top
notchers were chopping divots in the
S. 900 match play open tournament
here.
The dissatisfaction was directed
not at an individual, but against
the associations own national
championship, established in 1916.
The big P. G. A. event is con-
Quoted on match play, or man.
to-man basis, after the 36 holes of
qualifying. Match play, to a ma
jority of the front-rank pros, is a
distasteful type of golf. Touring
players disclosed this.
Sentiment is working toward a
change in the tournament set-up.
Fred Corcoran. tournament bureau
manager of the association, agreed
it was a distinct possibility. He
expressed belief that if put up to
vote, the members would aban-
don the type of play.
Reasons for Opposition.
The survey uncovered these rea-
sons for opposition to match play:
l. The best golfer does not al
ways win.
2. 1t is not a true test of golf
3. Too big an element of luck
in it.
4. The stymie is a nightmare to
the pros.
The two important match-play
tournaments on the annual P. G. A.
calendar are the national cham
pionship, in which only members
are eligible, and the San Francisco
open, a fixture for nine years.
Most of the leading players who
competed here were in favor of
changing both tournaments to
medal-score events.
Sam Snead of White Sulphur
| Springs. w. Va, expressed him
self in this fashion Il don't care if
I ever play in another match-plav
tournament" Snead was the top
money winner of 1888, and his
s1953449 established an all-tine
high for a calendar year. He was
eliminated in the first round OF
the last San Francisco open.
Metz Against Stymie.
Dick Metz of Chicago, who won
the San Francisco open and the
preceding Oakland $4,000 72-hole
medal-play open, favors elimination
of the stymie in match play. If
stymies were eliminated match
play would be splendid Otter, how
ever, the fellow who is stymied is
the one who hit two or three per-
feet shots to the green while his
opponent was hitting some Dad
shots" he said.
Metz said he would like to see the
P. G. A. championship changed
to six rounds Q08 holes of medal
play. The usual medal-play tour
nament. including the United States
open, is over 70 holes.

was far greater than that of their
earned points.
Subsequent developments of the
series may determine whether last
night will have been Vines last
appearance as a racketer in this
vicinity. The still-untoppled king
of pros has said that if Bulge beats
him decisively during the tour he
will frame his racket for good and
turn to serious golfng.
At times last night ELY looked
extremely tired, especially when he
was on the short end of affairs
and this will be his fifth winter of
pro tennis.
One thing is certain: he doesn't
need the money which these exhibi-
tions bring him, as his affiliation
with a sporting goods firm would be
sufficient even if he didn't have the
earnings of his f1rst-lush pro years
to fall back upon. AS a matter of
fact, Vines never has played for a
guarantee in pro tennis, always
having chosen-and, he says, salts
factorily-to play on the percentage
basis.
Minor Stars Please.
incidentally, that's what Dick
Skeen and A. H. Chaplin are doing
and the promoters figure they will
clear anywhere from $500 to $4,000
for little more than two months
play. Skeen, who teaches Dolores
Del Rio among other movie stars
out in Hollywood, proved Chapin's
superior in preliminary match
by Ga, 63 scores, while he later
teamed with Vines to topple Bulge
and Chaplin in the doubles encount-
er, So, 81.
The crowd got nearly as many net
thrills out of the Skeen Chaplin
match as they did in the feature
attraction and were quick to show
their appreciation in sustained ap-
plause.
