PHILLIPS ECHO RED SOX WALL
 FOR PITCHERS
BankrOIl or Shoestring, Hurling Problems Are
 Identical
By PAUL sCHETFELs


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, May 3. (UP)-Joe Cronin and Doc Prothro, managers of the Boston Red sox and Phila- delphia Phillies respectively, are two distinct baseball personalities but both have one thing in common a dire need of pitchers.
 There IS hardly any comparison between the two teams as . whole. The Red Sox are backed by the millions of Tom Yawkey, have sev- eral able-bodied sluggers and playing manager. The Phillies an. nually operate on shoestring, have no outstanding batters and get their orders from the dugout.
 "You know, I can't remember when I saw two of my pitchers go the full nine innings" said Cronin, in town for a recent series with the Yankees, land come through with well-pitched jobs in the bargain.
 Needs Distance Men
 "Sure, I've got lots of pitchers but I'll change the whole bunch for a few that can give me some lcng-distance sharpshooting.
 Take the first half-dozen games we played this season for example. We won five of them but do you know I had to use IA pitchers. Jack Wilson got kayoed in his first start and I had to follow him up with Herb Hash and Earl Johnson. Char lie Wagner got belted in his first start and I needed three other guys before we won that one.
 T cut the consignment down to two pitchers against the As and then thought wonders would never cease when Emerson Dickman came through with solo job against the same club. However Hash had to relieve Mike Ryba the next day against Washington and Wilson needed help from two others when we lost our first game of the year to tie Senators.
 Looking Over Staff
 "You see what I mean though With consistent pitching, our club could move all right. We hit pretty regularly. I'm going to rotate Lefty Grove, wilson, Harris, Dickmar, and Ryba as regular starters as soon as I get g good look at all my pitchers"
 Prothro, one the basis of the Phils' first eight games, had little to cheer about. His club lost six of those starts and had Q pitcher go the route in only one, the first game of the year, when the veteran Cy Blanton tossed a four-hitter to whip the Boston Bees.
 q guess you think there isn't much left of us now. after we gave up Kirby Higbe and lost Hugh Mul- cahy to the army" said Protnro. My big headache, like everybody's guess, Is pitching.
 "We're 6 little on the short side on the mound department but on the whole, I think we're somewhat stronger this year. AS far as know, no more of my players are going isi the draft.
 Things are going to be different from now on. We're building for the future and we're not going to peddle any more stars to other clubs"

Comedy Is Staged
By Cue and Curtain

Comedy should be played as
though the players considered 1t
tragedy, or at least deadly serious
business. Those involved In out
and-out farce may be allowed to
kid themselves or those they rep
resent, but the participants in
straight comedy never should let
an audience know that they know
their words or antics are funny.
That is the hint passed along to-
day to the members of the Cue
and Curtain Club of George Wash
ington University, prompted by the
groups production of a play called
George Washington Slept Here"
presented at Pierce Hall last night
and to be repeated tonight and to-
morrow night.
The Cue and Curtain players, of
course, can not be blamed for the
fact that &c. w. Slept Here" does
not bowl you over, leaving you to
fight your way out of your Mysteries
feeling you have just seen the
daffiest play in the world. This
fable, by Moss Hart and George
S. kaufman, of the affairs of a
New York family trapped in the
rustic wilds of a country place
which has no water except when
the roof leaks, which is whenever
there is anything for it to leak, is
funnier idea for play than it is
play. It's just not-too-heavy May
entertainment.
The Cue and Curtain folks,
under the direction of Floyd l..
Sparks, give it what is usually
called a ereditable presentation.
Elaine Berry, Tony Pritchard, Ethel
Hayden, Keith Adamson and the
others recite their lines with feel
ing. The only trouble is that they
also recite them as though they
were lines well learned and not
natural conversation. All of which
makes only amusing that comedy
which must be played to the hilt
really to be comedy. H. M.

Charming Pianist
Heard at Arts Club
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

A charming young pianist was in
troduced to the Arts Club audience
last evening in the person of Helen
Amber Michaux of Ford City, Pa.
Unassuming in her attitude toward
her art and with a delicacy of style
in her playing, Mrs. Michaux pro-
vided a program which was received
with evident pleasure by those pres
ent. She has a feeling for tonal
boundaries and kept her perform
ance to volume fitting for the size
of the hall and which allowed for a
better appreciation of the coloring
she brought into her interpreta-
tionS.
The selections chosen by Mrs.
Michaux embraced wide range of
composers yet avoided the too IA
miliar works from their output.
There was, for example, the rarely
played "Rondo a capriccio" by
Beethoven with its subtitle Rage
Over a Lost Groschen," a small mu-
sical testament of how a great man
can laugh at his own failings, and
the lovely Scotch Poem" by Mac
Dowell.
From Bach, Mrs. Michaux played
a "Partita" and the chorale made
doubly famous in Myra Hess ar
rangement, "Jesu, Joy of Man S
Desiring" LISTS Dance of the
Gnomes" gave the pianist an op-
portunity to display a fluent tech
nique that matched the nobility of
her performance of Chopin's ''Polon-
aise in c Sharp Minor" The con-
cluding number was Debussy's s
"Sunken Cathedral" and encores
prolonged the lists further.
While Mrs. Michaux has yet to
free herself from a certain re-
Straint in the mere manner of her
presentation, she has the qualities
of musicianship and musical feel
ing that come from an innate
The young pianist made a
decided impression and will be well
coined should she again give a ce-
cital in this city.

smoothed his dark hair back while
he tried to muster the courage to
say something. well II guess we
might as well" he gulped at last.
Mary was wearing that shade OF
blue that emphasized the lovely
clearness of her eyes and made her
skin family pink and glowing. She
was very beautiful. She gave him a
tremulouS smile and a nod.
And all at once Court didn't care
about anything. except this one aft
ernoon. They'd ride on everything,
and laugh and have fun, doing the
same things that every young couple
at the fair were doing. And they did
lust that. 1t was while they were
going through the dark tunnel in
boat through the Old Mill that 1t
happened.
They were due back at the car in
five minutes, and both in their
hearts were feeling wistful and un-
happy that such a beautiful after
noon had to end The couple ahead
of them were clasped shamelessly
in each others arms, their cheeks
pressed together. Suddenly Court
drew Mary Crews against him, hard,
and kissed her on the mouth, a long
breathless kiss that left them both
silent and trembling with suppressed
emotion.
When they we're out in the bright
hot sunlight again 1t didn't seem
real. Court was so ashamed that
he couldn't look at Mary as he
helped her out of the boat. He'd
been unable to resist the impulse to
kiss her and he was sure she must
be terribly angry.
Mary, in her turn, was thinking
with choking clarity, He thought I
expected him to kiss me, because all
the others were-we were the only
ones who weren't acting like
lovers" And at the same time she
knew she'd never forget that kiss.
Never. AS long as she lived its
sweetness would be cherished in her
heart with mingling of pain and
happiness.
Court Recalls Kiss.
Court found himself unable to
settle down to anything the follow
ing day. He kept remembering the
feel of Mary Crews lips under his,
the fragrance and softness of her
as he had held her close against him
He couldn't seem to think of any
thing else.
He was all mixed up in his mind
Certainly if Mary Crews disliked
him as much as he had felt that
she did, after the things Cynthia
had told him, she would have OBJ
jected to his kissing her. And yet,
her lips had surrendered, sweetly.
He decided that after supper was
over and Lucy asleep safe and
sound he'd slip over to the Crews
place and have 1t out with Mary.
He sat on the front steps, watch
ing the moon come up and smoking
his pipe, until Lucy had had time
to go to sleep. He tried to think
of what he would say to Mary. He
realized that his love for her was
no sudden thing. Its roots were
set in long sunny summer hours
spent in gaiety together, and homely
tasks shared, and laughter and
friendliness.
1t was going to take courage, ne
knew that, to tell Mary Crews that
he loved her. The moon rose high
before he summoned the will to
start across the fields. The night
was sweet and warm, and pungent
with the smell Of dew on weeds and
clover.
