$500 High School Boys Attend
First of Tiger Baseball Clinics
Million Dollar Staff
Gives Instruction
to Youngsters
BY EDGAR HAYES

More than $500 basebaii-n1indcd
high school lads attended the first
clinic sponsored by the Detroit
Tigers at Briggs Stadium Satur-
day morning. 1t was the largest
meeting of its kind ever held in
the country and instructed by a
million dollar coaching staff. The
props were guests of Walter o.
Briggs, owner of the club, at the
ball game in the afternoon.
The members of high school
teams came from all parts Of the
state TO attend the clinic. They
came from as far away as Iron
Mountain in the Upper Peninsula,
some 400 miles. These lads left
in a bus the night before and
drove all night TO be on time for
the first session.
Seven younsters received some
extra instructions. They were
hitch-hiking down Second avenue
when they were given ride by a
fellow who was interested in talk
ing baseball with them. When
they arrived at the stadium they
discovered it was Dizzy Trout,
the right-handed pitcher of the
Tigers.
No Lika Da Catch
The players were first greeted
by Walter o. (Spike) Briggs on
behalf of his father. Then Del
Baker explained the purpose Of the
clinic. The players were seated
in the stands according to posi-
tons. The entire Tiger squad
was on hand to give instructions
to the groups.
"You can tell what position IL
hardest to play" said Bill Sulli-
van, when he started to work.
There were more outfielders
and pitchers than at any other
position, while very few were
gathered under the sign that said
"Catchers."
The first half hour was given
to general instructions by the
various members of the Tigers.
Then they opened a question and
answer period. The players showed
their keen interest by asking
numerous questions pertaining 10

turn to play hard-to-get, and the
husband becomes the pursuer. 1t
is all rather familiar ground, this
area, and despite the artfulness of
every one concerned, it is obvious
that it has been traversed before by
many star-director combinations.
Norman Krasna, author of this
laffaire Smith, was unable to pro-
vide this part of the action with
figure more novel than the sort of
dopey other man, the kind who
wears his rubberS and avoids people
who sneeze. But the character de-
rives some novelty from the fact
that he is Gene Raymond, a Gene
Raymond turned brunette. His
identity makes fine thing to puzzle
over while the picture is going
through some of its least imagina-
tive, least inventive stages.
Those biological infections of tri-
angles which go to spice up pic
lures in so many cases today GER
tainly have not been ignored by
Hitchcock. He has scattered them
rather generously through his cur
rent comedy, usually with COM
mendable taste, or at least with
sufficient speed to give audiences
little time to brood upon their mean
ings. His cast has co-operated nobly
in this, as in other parts of the
enterprise.
Uncle Sam, the Nom Belligerent"
is March of Times latest subject,
and an interesting Photographic ac-
count Of non-belligerence it turns
out to be. Without reference to
either point of view on the war in
Europe, it shows how things are
going in the land of the free and
the home of the brave. 1t may have
a point of view, perhaps, or it may
not have. Either way, it is one of
the most interesting Marches of
Time in many an interesting month

for the man who deals so gaily with
international crime as in THE Lady
Vanishes" and Foreign Correspond
ent."
Within the limits of the subject,
which is virtually venerable, Mr.. H.
and his cast have long stretches
of fun to share with the audience.
Right off the bat, the principals are
introduced as sort OF progressive
type of husband and wife. One of
the cardinal rules of their establish
ment is that they shall never leave
the bedroom without having made
up a quarrel When the picture
opens, they obviously have been
there for several days in condition
of disarray which implies it has
been quite row they've been
having. A fine understanding OF
the humanities, and the inhuman-
tiles, gives this sequence a hllar1ty
which makes one think what man
that Hitchcock is. 1t is feeling
that maintains for quite a while,
too. for Immediately thereafter the
pair embark upon the threat OF an
other row: this one revolving around
whether the husband would marry
her again. 1t is a subject that is
lust fine for verbal fencing, and
two such fencers as Montgomery
and Miss Lombard know precisely
what to do with it. He plays hard
to-get, she deeply annoyed, and with
a deal of innuendo in the badinage,
1t marks some further pleasant going
for the picture and the customers.
1t is after Mr.. Hitchcock has
wrung this overture of its last rich
laugh that the going becomes a bit
heavier, that the second half of his
film sort CT pauSes for its second
wind. During this interval, the pair
