Piano Team
Stars at
Water Gate
Jacques Fray and
Mario Braggiotti
Brighten Program
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Not scheduled in the listing of
soloists for the National Symphony
concerts at the Water Gate was the
duo piano team, Jacques Fray and
Mario Braggiotti, who held the spot
light in last evenings Sunset Sym
phony." The announcement of their
appearance was made at Thursdays
concert, the program originally fea-
turing only the Polish-born, Ger
maintained conductor, Ignatz Wag-
halter. Having shared the honors of
that concert with the singers of
opera selections, the symphonic pro-
gram was assigned to him for last
evening.
The presence of the two pianists
considerably frightened the mood OF
last nights performance. Their
playing is fashioned from the en-
tertainment angle, although the
pianistic equipment of both is SUBJ
stantial enough for greater demands.
They have appeared here before in
more ambitious program. but one
feels that their real forte is in the
lighter vein. With the orchestra
they played Spanish Concerto"
by Mr.. Braggiotti, wherein the strong
rhythm and Spanish coloring gave
them every opportunity for brilliant
delivery.
Appearing a second time, without
the orchestra. they chose one of their
popular numbers. Musical Carica-
lures" taking Yankee Doodle" for
theme and playing it in the style
of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy
and Gershwin. This funmaking at
the expense of the famed composers
has become something of a fad re-
Gently and the pianists achieved the
proper success with their skillful
arrangement For encore they added
Ravels "Bolero' in their own tran
scription. The work is heavy and
monotonous in the duo-piano ar
rangement without the varied tonal
color the orchestra gives. but then
playing of it followed the accepted

halters' type and he missed the pc
culiar and somewhat elusive Russian
character of the work.
Part of this was due to the con-
tinued exactness of his beat, which
allows little latitude for the elastic
rhythms of the Slavic style. The
emphasis that he places by means
of pronounced retards on some
measures is out of place, while again.

OF the machine tools which make
mass production possible.
Thus, a modern nation resem-
bles an inverted pyramid. whose
effectiveness in war and whose
prosperity in peace rests, In the
case of the United States, on
fewer than $1,000 workers in the
tooimaking industry. employed in
not more than $50 plants.
RECENTLY IN DOLDRUMS
AS matter of fact, the last Of
fetal census of the industry before
the current expansion-in 1881
disclosed only 1926 workers en-
ployed. Curiously enough, during
the prolonged depression from
which this country is emerging,
neither regular business demand
nor activity for national defense
was sufficient to call forth the
normal output of the toolmaking
industry
On the contrary, 1t was one OF
the most conspicuously depressed
of all our industries, and skilled
toolmakers, who are today worth
their weight in gold, were offered
such insufficient and irregular
employment that many OF them
tended to drift into other voca-
tions.
Now government, Industry and
labor unions are combing the
country in search OF skilled tool
makers, and the machine tool in
dustry, which is expanding with
amazing rapidity, threatens to be
the bottleneck of the whole ma
tional defense effort.
TRADES PUT OFF CHANGES
Recognizing the limited capacity
of the industry, normal peace time
trades are considering postponing
model changes to give the United
States and British governments
first call on the toolmakers. The

Tense industry will not be COM

speed the quest for unused ma
chine capacity.
Meanwhile Yankee ingenuity is
expanding the toolmaking capacity
of the nation in a spectacular
manner. Leaders of the industry
offer the hope of a $685. per cent
increase in output in 1941 over
1910, and volume in 1910 was more
than double that of 1889.
At the beginning of 1941 the
machine tool industry promised
the nation it would produce $780,
000.00 of machine tools this year.
But by last week Clayton r. Burt,
chairman of the defense commit
tee of the National Machine Tool
Builders Association, announced
that the goal had been raised to
$750,000,000. Mr.. Burt declared:
I'VE are confident that the
$3.50, 600, 900 goal may be reached
by increasing subcontracting, by
working overtime, by maximum
utilization OF equipment and by
plant expansion where neces-
sary."
DEFECTS MUST BE SOLVED
The problem NJ tooling cannot
be stated exclusively in terms of
quantity. Leading toolmakers are
highly specialized. Some of the
instruments of defense require
new tools. Successful mass pro-
duction cannot be created over
night by decree. Before assembly
line production is in order, manu-
lfacturers must go through prelim-
mary stages of design and OF
prolonged experimentation with
handmade models. Machine pro-
duction is practical only after de-
fects have been eliminated from
the preliminary models.
To succeed as presidential aides
! in national defense, the industrial
lists at work in the Office of Pro-
duction Management at Washing
ton, like those back home in the
industrial plants of the nation
must follow the lessons they
learned in private business.

Although shorn Of most OF their
other laurels last Summer, the Gin
cinnati Reds, according to the Off
cial National League averages for
1941, remain the best defensive club
in the loop For the records show
the former champions to have
turned in the best team fielding
mark with .975 percentage, thereby
gaining this distinction for the sec
ond successive year.
1t was a pretty tight squeeze,
however, as directly behind the Reds
come the Dodgers and Giants tied
for second honors with .974, while
the Cardinals are placed fourth with
.973.
Two individual fielding crowns
also were captured by the Cincin-
natians. Frank Mccormick for the
third consecutive year heads the
first basemen with .995, while Linus
Frey tops the regular second base
men with e699, a mark which just
noses out the Giants Burgess White
head who fielded $685..
Not so elegant, however, was the
record of their elephantine catcher,
Ernie lombard, who for the seventh
year in a row winds up being charged
with the most passed balls. Big
Schnozzola was guilty of is of these
slips last season.
In sharp contrast with this was
the work of the Pirates agile Al
Lopez. who, by catching ia games

without a passed ball, tied a record
for regular catchers set IN 1917 by
AL Todd, also Of the Pirates, who
caught 1913 games without being
charged with a passed ball.
Three of the other individual
honors are carried off by the Bos-
ton Braves. Eddie Miller for the
second successive year leads the
shortstops with 1866, John Cooney
heads the outfelders with 1906, while
Ray Berres just manages to gain
hairline decision over Mickey Owen
of the Dodgers to gain top ranking
among the catchers. Berre's mark
is 1852 against .9949 for Owen.
The veteran Gabby Hartnett. who
now passes out of the major leagues
to manage Indianapolis, caught "a
games for the Giants last summer
and thus brought his lifetime record
total to l,790 games behind the
plate.
Merrill May of the Phillies leads

Score Of ATS Will Win
In Mems Division,
Predicts Pacini
Heavy Firing in Giant
RoIIoff on Tonight;
467 Now Top Tally
By ROD THOMAS

The largest handicaps in the his
tory of duckpins are in force In
The Stars Defense Savings Tourna-
ment, but a former No. ranking
bowler of the country, Ollie Pacini,
who presides over the Northeast
Temple, is willing to wager that
nobody in it shoots a gross score
of more than 476 in the three-game
final.
Pacini today was speaking specif-
ically Of the male finalists.
Ollie Clark, who fired the pre-
liminary at Petworth. topped the
giant field of men with count of
499, including handicap of 70.
With one-half of the field in the
qualification round now engaged in
the final one might surmise that the
cream of the original crop would
raise the standard of competition.
Ollie Sees a Difference.
But scores in the final, on the
average, argues Pacini, will be lower.
THE foul line" reasons Ollie,
will knock lot of pins from the
scores of the buffers who didn have
to think about it in the preliminary.
I'm the qualification round all
most Of 'em thought about was
reaching the final. The foul line
wasn't enforced and a guy could
swing with free mind.
THE folks who received the big
handicapS were those with next to
no competitive experience. Only a
few ever had bowled for worthwhile
prizes. It's all blue chips now and
this will make difference in how
q lot of the so-called buffers regard
that headpin"
Pacini for many years has ranked
with the toughest money" shooters
IN the duckpin world but, he admits:
I've seen many of those fat chunks
OF maple, which, in pinches, just as
well might have been toothpicks."
