as appearance perfection.

contemplation Of the above sub

Ginger Rogers winning the Gov

the most outstanding actress of
1910. with this honor being be-

In that picture, Miss Rogers
superb poise was truly note
worthy thing. AT all times she
was visibly in command Of her
self and Of every dramatic situa-

And in every instance Ginger
demonstrated 10 a high degree
how poise can so greatly add TO
a woman's glamour.

Simple Formula

There is a simple formula for
poise which. if followed. will
more often than not result in
satisfactory command of this
desirable quality.
In nearly every case. poiSe can
be- automatically commanded
simply by seeing TO II that you
don't speak or act faster than
you think.
Watch and listen to the people
around you, and observe how
steadfaStly the truth of the
above rule is demonstrated. The
persons who most obviously lack
in poise are those whose CONVEX
sation is geared up to a fever
ish pace. even when they may
have nothing really important
to say. or those who demon
strate that they lack physical

When Miss Rogers made her
first screen appearances, ap-
proXimately a decade ago, she
was, as you may remember. a
talented cute kid type of person.
Her appearance, her actions an
a not too great abundance Of
poise were all a part of this
fact.
The Ginger Rogers we know
today is a completely different
parsonage. We can see how she
has ambitiously and intelligently
developed her dramatic talents
TO a prize-winnlng degree. The
chic Of her appearance reflects
her appreciation and use of all
the refinements in grooming
which have been perfected dur
ing recent years. And both on
and off screen, Ginger is CLAM

Usually. poise is character
iStic which is not naturally ap-
parent in the average person.
But il really is a fact. however,
that poise can be acquired, and
that the process of acquisition
need not be difficult one.

DETROIT, July l5.-What has
typifled the economy of action to
baseball men, the smooth, ap-
parently effortless play Of Second
Baseman Charley Gehringer of the
Tigers, won't be an integral por-
ton of the Detroit club Washing

starting tomorrow.
Benched, hitting mere .220 or so,
Gehringer probably has reached the
inevitable end of active participa-
ton. 1t had been coming for long
time, with an ailing back greasing
the skid, but Gehringer insisted on
attempting a comeback after in
dicating retirement last fall follow
ing the World Series.
Gehringer, who gave Detroit COM
plete coverage at second base for
nearly two decades, never taking
an unnecessary step but seemingly
stabbing everything within an acre
of his territory, collapsed in the 1910
World Series. He covered little
ground and seldom got the break on
the ball. Weary and diSconsolate
after Detroit lost the seventh and
final game to Cincinnati. Gehringer
was admitting the termites of time
had clipped him.
This probably was my last season
in baseball he told his inter-
viewers. I'll never go through an
other season like this and if don't
feel any better next February I'll
retire. Playing ball was torture for
me. I was in agony nearly the
entire time"
Fielding Was Painful.
Anytime I tried to field a ball
off to either side 1 felt Id collapse.
Often couldn't stoop over to pick
up a ball after blocking it. I've
had so many heat treatments I feel
like a boiled oyster. At times I
didn't think I could move two steps
or get the bat off my shoulder"
Charley was sick, hurt and dis
appointed. Perpetually he visited
physicians, but nothing helped. He
had struggled through 139 games
after it had been predicted he
wouldn't play at all last year. FIRE.
quently, he merely went through the
motions, chronic back trouble
sapping the snap from his play.
Over the winter, though, Geh-
ringer submitted to a new series of
treatments and they seemed to
help. He signed his contract and
reported for spring training and club
officials we're amazed to see
Gehringer again was spry despite
his SO years. He opened the season
at second base, but the span of
three months has forced him to
chuck in the towel.

CHICAGO, July 1.-two months
ago today 26-year-old Joe Di Maggie
stepped up to the plate in Yankee
Stadium and smacked clean single
off Ed Smith, chubby Chicago White
Sox southpaw.
The Yankee slugger had no way
OF knowing then that he was pro-

tional batting streak ever recorded
in major league history. In those

Batting champion of the league

May IA.
Leads These Departments.
Of course, all baseball fans know
what he's done since Mel Harder
held him hitless May IA. Joe has
done so well that today he went
against the same Chubby Smith in
an effort to extend his consecutive
games hitting streak to SIS games.
Willie Keeler's old record of "a
lasted more than 40 years. Your
guess is as good as any ones on how
long Joe's incredible string will
endure.
Joe was batting .304 when his
streak began. In the subsequent
two months the Yankee powerhouse
has collected Sc hits in 215 times
at bat, scored So runs, collected 153
total bases, knocked in 54 runs
and blasted Is home runs, IA dou-
bles, 4 triples and SO singles.
This promiscuous slaughter OF all
kinds of pitching has boosted him
into leadership of the league in runs
batted in, home runs and total hits.
He is tied with Brother Dominic of
the Red SoX for runs scored and
is fourth in batting at 1863.
Joe says his performance now is
mo strain at all
Naturally, I wanted the record
when got close to it and I was
pressing. But now it's different.
If I go f1ve-for- -the-collar, all right,
except that I'm out there to hit

as we can keep winning"

Mule Haas, Sox coach and one of the
best ribbers in the business, asks:
What can you do with a guy like
that?"
He just stands up there and
takes his cut. He's a tough guy to
rattle-no telling how long that
streak will run"
The fans, too. partisan though
they may be, want to see Joe get
every opportunity to keep the rec
ord alive. White Sox supporters
booed Thornton Lee Sunday and
John Rigney yesterday when each
unintentionally walked the big
slugger.
