much more amusing and interesting
affair than those full-length sub
jects which formerly we're the cine
ma chores of the fascinating five.
In Name Only" is distinguished
too, for its presentation of Kay
Francis in the most worthy role she
has had in years. Her part, that
of a dark, cruel, ghastly selfish wife,
is played with a relish that indicates
Miss Francis never was really as bad
as she looked in her recent pictures.
They must have just been sabotag-
ing her, or vice versa.
The now gay, now sad story which
John Cromwell directed for R-K-O
has to do with a dashing pair. Miss
Lombard and Grant, whose way to
bliss is blocked by his wife, Miss
Francis. Their marriage, one of
convenience for her, is a hollow
shell, but she is the kind who likes
to live in hollow shells and the heck
with any other consideration. Her
heartless cruelty corrodes the re-
lationship between the other parties
in the triangle, but in the end she
is hoisted on her own petard, dark,
mean lady doomed to live miserably
ever afterward.
AS Julie Eden, the pretty, brave
hearted young artist to whom love
of Grant is all, Miss Lombard gives
a striking performance. She def
nitely makes good on her promise
to her bosses that she would show
them an actress if they would stop
making her a brittle comedienne.
Her Julie is winning mink who,
when the occasion demands, can
reach emotional heights that old
Lombard fans might never expect.
One of the pleasant features on
"In Name Only" is its dialogue
Richard Sherman, who wrote it,
obviously had in mind the adult
mind and he turns out some gemlike
wit and wisdom that shows the

Most of the clever comedy chatter
is turned over to Grant, whose
laconic delivery is just the thing

HIT FIRST ONE
 IF GOOD IS TIP BY MCCORMICK
That's the Vital Ball, Reds First BaSeman Tells
 Rockies

Cincin:ah.:: O., Aug. 2I-OP)-- Although cEl,' in his second season .. y.e 'aajor leagues, Frank Mo- cocmiek, har G.c1t first bascr1an of the Cincinnati. Recs, will lot be ac- cuseG C. vanity if he reveals his formula fer hitting a baseball.
 The :.o-@~a--oid Irisl1-Bohemiar: who, topped the National leaguers in number of hits, 209 last year, has simple batting rule.
 Never take your eye off the ball while at bat" he advises, "and swing on the first ball which comes over the plate in the strike zone."
 It Seems Easy
 In other words, rockies, it's easy to rank third among the leagues in- dividual batters with an average of .326 in your freshman year:
 Just watch the ball and don't let a good one, go by.
 It worked for husky Frank in 1888.
 "All my baseball life I've hit the first pitch, or at least the first pitch, or at least the first good ball pitched to me-" he said. T fig ured 1t out for myself when I was kid playing amateur ball. The pitchers would try to get me in a hole, that is, get ahead of me by sneaking over strike before I started swinging.
 First Strike Vital
 50 I fooled them and began swinging on that first good pitch. All last season the National league pitchers tried to get that first strike past me but they seldom did"
 Frank doesn't believing in "gues- sing" at the plate.
 Anytime guess what the next pitch is going to be and try to get set for 1t, I usually bring down trouble on myself" he says. There are rare times when the pitcher is so far in the hole, he practically has no choice but to try and throw a fast one over the plate. Even then, you can guess wrong, especially on those pitchers who figure you're looking for that fast one and instead take long chance with curve"

SULLIVAN BEATS
 ST0LLAR HANDILY
Chase Park Singles Cham- piOnship Decided in
 Straight Sets

Joe Sullivan, local clothier, final ly won the Chase Park tennis sim gles championship after endeavoring to capture the laurels of three city park tournaments. Sullivan reached the finals of the Fulton meet and gained the semi-finals of the Ham, ilton Park tourney but always fal- tered in these important contests and never came out a winner until today when he gained a surprise victory over John Stollar, Hamilton Park champion, in straight sets of 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. Stollar was seeded number one in the Chase meet by virtue of his Hamilton Park victory a few weeks ago and he was ex- pected to capture the Chase Park title from Sullivan yesterday but Sullivan's hard driving, steady game gained him the victory. Stollar's game did not show itself to be championship form because he broke his request early in the match and the shift to another raquet threw him off his completely, Sul- livan really deserved the title and the West End Community Club tro- phy, because he has played his best tennis of the year in the Chase sim gles; he did not lose one game in the tournament until he met Char ley Lee in the semi-finals.
 Sullivan was presented the West End Community Club trophy by Paul Reed, president of the organ ization. Ray Phaneuf turned in an excellent performance as referee of the match. The linesmen were Tom McHale, Alex Fried. Al Lapoint. Al Audette was the ball boy.
 The City wide mems and women's singles tournaments will begin play this week. These two meets are re- stricted to residents of the city. En- tries close tomorrow (Tuesday) night at six o'clock and may be made with Joe Murphy at Chase Park.

ST. LOUIS BUT 31-2 GAMES IN
 BACK OF C|NCY.
Red Birds Move Into Brooklyn Today and
 Ohioans Into Philly
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 21.-(UP)-The big bat of Johnny Mize today was beating a pennant tom-tom for the Red Birds..-the unwanted Cardinals of St. Louis,
 A month ago there was a hue and cry about moving the Cardinals away from St. Louis. The club wasn't drawing the situation seemed hope less. Today the Cards were only l-2 games behind the league-leading Reds and closing in fast. In three weeks the Cafds have come from 12 games behind to their present posi- tion.
 Mize, the National League batting leader, who was turned down by the Reds after "look-see" in 1895 struck the vital blows Sunday as the Red Birds trounced Cincinnati, 7-1 and 7-5. It was St. Louis 18th victory in 21 games, and their seventh straight. barring tie.
 Infield ExpIodes
 After the Reds infield had explod- ed and tossed the first game to the Cards in a horrendous exhibition in the eighth, Mize personally escorted the Red Birds to triumph in the nightcap with two homers-his Fist and 22nd. Altogether, the Georgia boy who drinks buttermilk smacked in six of his teams seven runs. With the first game score tied, 1-1. ir the eighth and Bucky Walters ,ard BcS Weiland locked in hurlirg eue!, thc Red infield blew sky higs;. Mccor- mick misplayed two bunts, Walters missed up on an atempt at trick double play, and Bill Werber was late in covering third on force play. The Cards made four runs before Lefty Shoffner finally got the side out.
 In the nightcap, Mize hit his first homer with two mates on base of 'Vhitey Moore in the third. Then with the score tied, 5-5, he hit his second of Lefty Grissom with Slaughter, who had walked, on base.
 Both contenders moved into the east today, the Reds opening at Philadelphia and the Cards in Brooklyn. The Reds have lost II of their last 20 games, and look like a club bent on blowing their lead swift ly as they can.
 Pirates Lose Another

 on IS hits and the Phils taking the nightcap, 3-2.
 It was tit for tat in the American League with the leading Yanks and Red Sox each dividing twin bills. The Athletics beat the Tanks, 5-4, but the Bronx Bombers won the sec- ond game, 5-1, on a five hit pitching performance by Steve Sundra.
 Dutch Leonard scored his 14th victory as he pitched Washington to 20 victory over Boston in the opener. Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 32 as the Red Sox won the nightcap, 10-5.
 Eric McNair's single with two out and two on in the 10th scored two runs which enabled the White SoX to beat the Indians, 6-5, for their sev- enth straight win. Vernon. Kennedy outpitched Buck Newsom to give the Browns 6-2 victory over the Tigers.
