system a fair trial, the department

explained, the Government will not
seek enforcement or dissolution of
production and distribution in the
moving picture industry for three
years; during this period the sig
natory companies agree not to en-
gage in any general program of
expansion of their theater holdings
and to maintain the status quo so
far as is practicable.
The ban on blind sales" it was
explained, means that pictures must
be completed and exhibited to the
trade before they can be sold or
offered for sale.
The "block booking" revision pro-
hibits the licensing of more than five
pictures in single group and If an
exhibitor finds that particular
group of pictures contains some that

that these pictures be eliminated or

Griffs Rejoice
As Sid Hudson
Shows Glass
Proves Big Lacquer
Conquering Browns;
Walker Rompoging

As the Nationals began their final
series of the home stand today-a
| two-game set with the White Sox-
they weren't in undisputed posses
sion of seventh place any longer.
That 6-to-5 victory yesterday over
the Browns, achieved in 10 innings,
took care of the elevation process.
Today they are tied with the Mack
men for fifth place.
All kidding aside, the Griffmen
had cause to rejoice. Their long,
lanky rookie right-hander from the
little class D Florida State League,
Sidney Charles Hudson, has won in
the majors. 1t was Sid, beaten in
two previous starts. who battled the
Browns during those 10 rounds and
came off with victory which starts
anew predictions that he can make
the big jump to the big show.
Walker Is Real Star.
Sid. of course, was no ball of fire
He gave II hits. Some of them
were pretty long hits. too. Two were
homers. one was double and en-
other was triple. But he got bet
ter as he went along and, moreover,
he wasn't wild. Another perform
ance like yesterdays. when he gave
only two unintentional bases on
balls, and he may be blacklisted by
the rest of the Washington pitching
staff.
But the guy who really broke the
Nationals five-game losing streak
was Gee Walker. And this brings
up the matter of the current series.
The reason why Gee was traded
from the White Sox last winter was
because he didn't agree with the
boss men. So they unloaded him
and got, in exchange, Taft Wright
and Pete Appleton. 1t will be in
teresting to see what Walker. with
seven hits in the last two games
and apparently as hot as a fire.
cracker will do against his old club.
Gee was 80 per cent of the Wash
ington offense in the st. Louis
finale. He collected a double and
three singles. He scored a run and
drove across two. He stole a base
and set up the winning run in the
tenth.
It all happened like this. and this
is no attempt to be complete. The
clubs haggled for nine innings. tying
each other and forging ahead and
tying again. Finally came the tenth
and it was Walker who led OF with
Johnny Whitehead, who replaced
Eden Auker, pitching for the
Browns. Gee singled to right and.
with one of his patented base-run-
ming ideas, got caught between the
bags. The prospect of eliminating
all immediate danger must have
overwhelmed Rookie Bob Swift. st.
Louis catcher, who heaved wildly
into center field. allowing Mr.. WAL
ker to reach third.
Sox to Use Lefties.
1t was sound baseball to pur-
posely walk Zeke Bonura and Jake
Early, the next two hitters. thus
setting up a play at every base. The
strategy began to work when Jim
Bloodworth forced Walker at the
plate. Then Sam West picked up
Jimmy Pofahl's bat and missed a
strike. Then came the end. The
crash of the Mats power still is
echoing throughout the stadium.
They scored the winning run when
Whitehead wild-pitched on the next
delivery, sending Bonura across.
The next two days were to find
Ken Chase and Dutch Leonard, in
that order, facing the White Sox.
The Chicagos, in rebuttal. were ex-
pected to use left-handers-Edgar
