Pride of Yankees" May Be Good Box Office, But It Is Scarcely the Life of Lou Gehrig; Cultured
 Gentleman Pictured as Naive flick

New York, July 17.-There are too many inexcusable errors in "The Pride of the Yankees" to permit it to be called a good picture from baseball fans point of view.
 Why, they didn't even show Lou Gehrig as the little Dutch boy of Frank Graham's book. That would have been so easy to do. Obviously the picture makes either neglected to read or paid no attention to Sports Columnist Graham's tome That was a big blunder.
 Gehrig, Is pictured as a clumsy rube. He was a bashful young man, but never a naive hick.
 At the time of his marriage, Geh- rig had been an outstanding Amer ican League star for nine yeaIs He was Q cultured gentleman Yet even at that stage of his career the direc- tors of the movie persist on some thing amounting to Ring Lardner stuff.
 From the point of view of a non- baseball fan, "The Pride of the Yankees might be often slow mov- ing and tedious, particularly in the beginning.
 {, The climax of the picture-Geh- rigs magnificent, though losing, bat tie against a fatal illness-is tre- mendously moving.
 Gary Cooper, almost totally mis- cast, does an excellent job under distressing circumstances.
 Teresa Wright is a very pretty young lady and carries off her dif- ficult role as Gehrig's life with high tOnors.

Narragansett To Honor
 Memory Of Tom Thorp

Pawtucket, R. T.. July 16. - The late Tom Thorp, beloved turf off cial, will be honored by special race on the opening day of Nara gansett Parks second 1942 meeting, from August 10 to September 26, but it will be on ordinary memorial. The race will be the Jockeys Op- portunity Stakes, conditioned to give young and inexperienced riders a chance at worth while cash prize, the Tom Thorp Trophy and the prestige that goes to stakes winning jockey.
 For many years Thorp interested himself in the welfare of the younger riders of the turf. He encouraged them in every way pos Sible, advised them, checked upon their lives at home and their activi- ties outside the racetrack and in more than one instance gave needy boys financial aid. Thorp never favored severe official action against youngsters who were first offenders In 1887 Thorp was influential in establishing a school for young ap- prentices at Ganset and in carding races in which horses were to be ridden by inexperienced jockeys.
 Narrangansett could offer no more fitting tribute to the memory of the kindly racing official who did so much to better the condition of young riders than to card a stake especially for the benefit of inexperienced apprentices.

 The Jockeys Opportunity Stakes will be conditioned for horses ridden by apprentices who have not won

Scovill Girl Allows
 No Hits

A Scovill girl, Pat Petrauskas, pitching for her company's softbal team in the Girls Industrial league last night turned in one of the out standing amateur athletic perform ances of the outdoor season, when she pitched seven innings without hit by the Clock Company batters, walked but two and struck out II in Is to result. At bat she hit safely three times in as many times up, for a perfect 1000, though four runs scored against her because of two walks and three errors by her mates. Scovill girls scored Il runs in the first three innings, five in the first.
 Two for One
 Waterbury Manufacturing doubled the score on Benrus, IS to 3, thereby holding its place of leadership of the five team league. There were 25 hits made in the game, each team mak- ing but two miscues.

There is room for suspicion, how ever, that movie fans who are not baseball-minded may find the early going sufficiently difficult that they will walk out before the picture reaches its walloping climax-guar- anteed to bring Jumps to the most hardened throat.
 Baseball fans who knew the Yan- kees of very recent years, especially those even slightly acquainted with Gehrig, will find too many mistakes to consider the thing genuine.
 Why can't movie directors, partic- ularly when they profess to portray the life of someone fresh in memory, stick to the natural facts.
 The real life of Lou Gehrig fur nished ample material for a grand picture.
 It didn't require all the fancy trimmings indulged in by picture people.

(Unlte0 PrcSS StaII COrTeSpOHucHt)
 New York, July IT. - (UP) - The American League is using so much strategic baseball = the hit and run, bunting, etc. - that the cir cults play encroaches upon methods of the National League.
 At least that's the impression of jolting Joe DiMaggio, that well known analyst of the New York Yankees, who is quite willing to side step an anniversary today.
 It was just a year ago today that DiMaggio ambled out under the arc lights in Cleveland's huge municipal stadium, before 67,468 fans, and failed to get a hit, through the con- bined efforts of Al Smith and Jim Bagby. That failure to get even a scratch single ended DiMaggio's record hitting streak at 56 consecu- tive games.
 DiMaggio, rebounding from this seasons early slump, is working on another string now. Counting yes- terday's game with the Cleveland Indians, he has hit safely in 13 con- secutive games.
 Looks Like National
 But jolting Joe is concerned only indirectly with his new necklace of 13 games. He concentrates upon the unexpected methods of play in his ccircuit. The slender, dark haired San Francisco Italian says:
 Sometimes 1t seems that we must be playing in the National League = not the American - these days, because the hit and run is used so much and because there's so much bunting. Also the scores are generally lower and closer than last year, although TOW and then there are lopsided games"
 DiMaggio continued, T don't know what caused the increase in strate- gy. Maybe the entrance of so many good players into the services sort of 1evelled off the clubs, bringing them closer to 8 par in strength. This makes it more difficult to get runs, and increases the use Of strategy"
 DiNTaggio conjectured that the current ball isn't as lively as in the past. He said, it seems deader to me. find it harder to hit for dis tance. And when I'm in the out field, note that well hit balls lack expected carrying power. Which makes it most difficult to judge long flies"
 Concerning his own career, Di- Maggie, who was voted the Amerl- can Leagues most valuable player last season, explained: T got off to a bad start this season. l snapped out of 1t recently, but des- bite my .13-game streak, I'm hitting about 95 points below last year at this time"
 Expects BoOS
 Because of his weak hitting early in the season, DiMaggio was booed roundly by the fans.
 Naturally, I don't like to De booed," he said. "But 1t doesn'I bother me as much as you'd imagine I realize that the fans have the right to boo anyone they wish = umpires, players or even managers And appreciate that the fans and the game of baseball have been swell to me in the past. So, I can stand a litle booing now, if I can only keep hitting.
 T hope opposing pitchers don't walk me too much, because I'd like to make this streak a long one. too.'

day will bring together the Thomaa Club and the Sacred Hearts, Wash ington Hills and the AviglianeS and the Tribunes and Mill Plain.
 Twice this season the Overlooks have been put down for the feature game but on both occasions Old Jupiter Pluvius intervened and pre- vented such. Sunday, however, the Looks hope to break the jinx and also the Brooks winning streak. Bob Malone, injured over month ago in factory accident, may be ready for action in the contest with Joey Jay being slated for the Brooklyn mound chores.
 The feature game on the second field for the afternoon will pit the Sacred Hearts against the North End Thomas club at 4 o'clock. Lefty Vito Colopinto is slated for the Sacred Heart assignment wailG Harp Sullivan is the likely starter for the Tommies. The two first games should also be interesting from the spectators standpoint. The diamond No. show brings together the Tribtlnes and Mill Plain while the Aviglianese and the Washington Hills cross bats over on the second field. Packy Shea will probably send Lefty Verderame to the mound while the Plainers will retaliate with Lefty Stan Heaton or Jackie Thompson. Patty w. Quilter, vet- eran of many campaign, will prob ably get Red Gladney's nod for the Hill assignment In the contest with the Ayigs and will in all probability face Frankie Place.
 All managers are urged to turn in a player list of 1G names before game time to Sec. John e. w.. Dwyer.

 Ball at 9 P. M.

The New York Black Yankees vS Waterbury Brasscos.
 That's the program for the Mu- nicipaI Stadium tonight when base ball fans throughout the Naugatuck Valley get their first taste of base ball under lights this season.
 Probably no other contest of an exhibition nature that has been scheduled for local production in the past ten years, has aroused as much interest as this four star special at the Stadium. The head line attraction of the evening, of course, will be the world famous Black Yankees, New York City's representative team in the fast Ma tional Negro professional league. However, interest is almost just as widespread as the curious await to see Wha Promoter Fred DaVi has lined up in the way of giving Wa terbury its first semi-pro club in years.
 If for nothing else, Davi deserves the support of the fans for having the "gumption" to push aside all handicaps and go through with the opening of what he plans will be ten game series of night baseball attractions featuring the Brasscos against the top exhibition clubs in the country.
 A few weeks ago after plans had been all set for the opening game, the Brasscos became war victim" when set of lights which had been arranged for out of New York was rendered useless because extra parts for one of the big generators could not be obtained without Q priority order. A few days period, the City Amateur league cracked down on Davis plan to use league players be- cause the game was to be in com petition with the City League plans and, it is alleged, would be detri- mental to the function of the league
 And on top of it all, Davi returned close to $500 to fans Wh ohad pur- chased tickets in advance, making good every cent of it. A few hun dred tickets were not turned back because 1t was announced that they would be, honored at the gate to- night. This will positively be in effect.
 The Black Yankee management also received their rain guarantee" last time when they arrived here only to be told that the game had to be postponed. So, all in all, Davis efforts have been jolted by bad breaks.
 However, with a new contract for the appearance of the Yankees for tonight, a new lighting outfit ar- ranged for out of Pittsheld, and a Brassco team that looks like the good on paper, Promoter Davi is ready to shoot the works" tonight.
 Following are the probable start ing lineups of the teams:
