his numerous baseball records.
Then he told them, Pm still a

His admirers, gathering sever
al hundred strong at testimo-
NAL dinner to the New York

Mels baseball ability, his char
acter and his personality. And
when they were through Mel
said simply and quietly:

"A few years ago I left for
spring training as a'rookie. had
the good wishes of all of you.
It looks like I'm still q rookie.
And it's wonderful to know I
still have your good wishes"

cause to remember them. DR..

LoeoIs Goin Revenge
for Freak "a Loss;
Vsrnisr Tops Scorers

They took Coach Lee Hart Of
st. Mary's home in a coma last
night. They confronted q startled
sports editor with the victory
news at midnight over the tele-
phone.
They even looked q bit sheep
ish themselves. The st. Mary's
cagers, that is. Having absorbed
seven straight defeats in q like
number of starts, the Mountain
GERS finally aroused themselves
and won one last night, q 17-9
victory over st. Francis de Sales,
scored on the Detroit schools
floor.
REVENGE VICTORY
Fans of the local parochials
knew that "V" stood for victory,
but suspected that someone had
forgotten the latter part of the
alphabet in teaching the boys.
The win last night was well
earned, and it had an element of
revenge. st. Francis had whip
ped the locals, 9-4, in the first
game between the two teams.
Last night, the Detroit crew
could score only two baskets,
both by Capt. Jim Parnin, while
dropping in five free throws.
The locals, meanwhile, hit for
eight field goals and had only
one charity toss. Ken Vernier
showed the way with eight
points.
SECOND HALF ADVANTAGE
1t had to be last night II the
Saints were going to win q game
this season, and they realized
their opportunity. Headed 81
during the opening minutes of
the game, they came slowly back
to hold a TO advantage at the
half time. After that, they had
things their own way. though
they missed enough shots to sink
a battleship. A pair of longs by
Capt. Jim Petitpren and center
Palmer Hudson helped things
along and Vernier tossed in sew
eral razzle-dazzle throws from
close-in.
The boys were pleasantly
pleased with themselves and
even Coach Lee Hart seemed
somewhat dazzled by the COM
paratively superlative perform
ance on his cagers.
IF we lose the next one" he
chortled, well blame it on
overconfidence."
In seriousness, the victory last
night was an earned one and
it was an improved band of
players that scored it. Green as
the hills at the start of the sea-
son, the Mountaineers have come
along slowly, handicapped by
stiff opposition. The loss of Earl
Coke, who joined the navy,
proved blow, but in winning
last night, the boys proved they
had the stuff to weather this loss
and overcome their own inexpe-
rience.
Next game for the Mountain
GERS is with st. Fred's here on
Sunday at $50 pm.

Abbott Changes
His Hit, Gets
More Laughs
Beat the Band Vas
a Bit Too Involved
For His Liking
NEW YORK


George Abbott is a producer who
should stage his Broadway first
nights somewhere in the first or
second week of the run of the many
shows he produces. Or, else he
should leave them alone as they
appeared on their first first night.
Because he is producer director
author who keeps changing his mind
and changing his shows, and the
critical fraternity have to see it so
many times that any one of them
could play almost any part at a
moments notice.
Now Abbott's newest musical
show, BEAT the Band" was praised
by most of the critics and is a hit.
Nevertheless, Abbott, who was a
good actor and then became a good
playwright and then became a good
producer, decided some changes
should be made. But, in his chang
ing and restaging he has made Beat
the Band" faster and funnier
musical.
Abbott decided that interpolating
the narrative with so many songs
and dances made the story too COM
plicated.
But, instead of cutting down on
the music, he did a streamline job
on the book. He lost few laughs
by giving some of Band Leader Dill
lingham's brothers lines to the band
leader himself. but he gained other
laugh lines and speeded up the
action.
Abbott's changing Of lines has
kept the main idea of the story, but
1t has also speeded up the musical
side of the show considerably. And
the story is not too important when
there is such good score with
Johnny Green's music.
To illustrate one point where Alb
bott has tightened up BEAT the
Band" there was a scene where a
deaf music publisher huns a song
while the brother makes love to
Eunice Healey. In that scene the
music publisher used to strike a
gong "a la Maj. Bowes) every time
he didn't like song. This particu-
lar bit of business happened to CO.
incide with the moments when
brother would attempt to kiss Miss
Healey and always won a laugh.
But it did slow up the action of the
main story. and so Abbott cut it out.
Abbott thinks that Beat the
Band" how gets three times the
laughs it got on opening night.
What he can't explain is that it was
a hit when it opened and it is still
a hit now that he has restaged
1t so radically.

concerned with the war effort. In
all respects the Government treated

answer to the Jananese propaganda

contended that Uncle Sam was

Red Cross Picks Wiman.
Dwight Deere Wiman, who dur
Ing the past II years has produced
exactly So plays and musical COM
edies on Broadway, announced to-
day that he was relinquishing all his
local theatrical activities for the
duration to accept the post of direc-
tor of entertainment for the Ameri-
can Red Cross in the United King
dom. Although unable to divulge
the exact date of his departure,
Mr.. Wiman intimated that he would
take up his new duties within the
very near future.
Born In Moline, ILL.,, Al years ago
and educated at the Hill School and
Yale University, Mr.. Wiman made
his first managerial appearance on
Broadway in 1925, when, in associa-
tion with the late William A. Brady,
jr., he presented "Ostriches," by Ed
ward Wilbraham. This first VEN
ture was dismal failure and lasted
for only eight performances. In
fact. the firm of Brady & Wiman
actually presented 13 plays before
they hit the financial jackpot with
the Road to Rome"
After that, however, the tide
turned, and in the ensuing years
the name Dwight Deere Wiman has
become almost synonymous with
Broadway success. Among his more
outstanding hits were The Com
mand to Love-" The Queens Hus-
band" THE Little, Show" THE
Vinegar Tree" Gay Divorce" ''She
Loves Me Not" "On Your Toes"
"On Borrowed Time" II Married
an Angel" "Old Acquaintance" by
Jupiter" and 1.-THE Damask Cheek. !"
The last two are now firmly en-
sconced at the Shubert Theater and
Playhouse, respectively, and will
continue their successful runs under
the direction of Mr.. Wimans part
ner, Richard Rodgers, and the Wi
man staff, which consists of ]. H.
Del Bondio and Forrest Haring on
the managerial side and Tom
Weatherly and Charles Washburn
IN the publicity department.
