TOday's Personality
HER FACE Is HER FORTUNE
By MAURICE WALKER

IMAGINE AN attractive young
lady getting a part in a show be-
cause the producer thought she
looked wacky enough for the role.
That is what happened to petite
Helen Gillette. who is currently
appearing at the Lafayette The
alter in The Show-Off," with Joe
f. Brown.
II have always favored COM
edy roles, but have n hard time
getting them, because the pro-
ducers usually say 1 am better
suited to play the sweet young
thing" Miss Gillette said. But
Mr.. Duffy cast me rs Amy In
The Show-Off' because he said
was just the type he needed.
I'm certainly glad, because I've
learned a lot about acting from
Mr.. Brown"

VERSATILE MISS

Although Miss Gillette has been
in the theater for six years, acting
is just one of her accomplishments.
She is a ballet and comic soft shoe
dancer, designs hats and is a
painter. Her secret ambition,
however. is TO sing with a band.
Her favorite sports are ping-pong
and badminton.
The theater is her real love, and
although she is the only one in her
immediate family in the profess
sion, she is a great-niece of the
famed William Gillette, actor and
dramatist. She has no desire TO
get into the movies, having turned
down several offers.
Born in Indiana, Miss Gillette
began her career as dancer and
later appeared in school plays.
She has appeared in several
George Abbott shows, one of them
being the London production OF
Room Service" in 1888. A short
time later she was cast in What
Lie, WHICH pidyeu dt the lass
Theater here.
CONTINUE DANCING
''When this show Closes" she
added, 81 am going back to New
York and continue my dancing.
i would like to get In . musical
some day"
From January till June of this
year she worked as a hostess In
the Stage Door Canteen in New
York.
Unlike some young people in the
profession, Miss Gillette is not al
all impressed with herself and is
eager to learn all she can about
acting.

THE REAL THING

At almost all theaters this week
you will find The Battle of Mid
way" the two-reel subject filmed
by 1t. Com. John Ford, during the
historic engagement.
This is the real thing and will
leave you in a pretty excited state,
which is a good one in which To
buy war bonds.
With a battle raging all around
you, it is obviously difficult ID

don't be disappointed If things get
little bumpy during those two
reels.

battle, this is the real thing you're

Athletic circles in Imperial Valley
expressed deep regret Saturday fol-
lowing the announcement by the
Calexico school system that Coach
Edward B. Covfngton will not be
back to guide the destinies of high
school sports there next year.
The Bulldog mentor has accepted
position at Ell Monte where he
will be the head of large physical
education department.
Covington's leave may be but a
temporary one, however, it was
learned Saturday. He had applied
for and received a years leave of
absence from his Calexico job and
should he find the Ell Monte posi-
ton not to his liking he will prob
ably return to Calexico.
j. w. Lawson, superintendent of
Calexico schools, was in San Diego
Saturday but it was understood by
other teachers that a new coach
for the 1942-43 year has already
been signed.

FOOTBALL sure
AS ARMY Chief
0K'S SCHEDULES

LOS ANGELES, July 25 CUP) =
Pacific coast football, threatened
with near-eXtinction by the war,
grabbed new lease on life today
with approval of nine schedules by
1t. Gen. John L. Dewitt, chief of
the western defense command, and
indications others would be approx
ed when submitted.
General Dewitt announced the
approval after exhautive reports
had been filed, including size of
potential crowds, police facilities,
and other emergency necessary
data.
Most hopeful feature was accept
ance of reports listing possible
crowds far larger than the 5000
limit set on all meetings early in
the war.
General Dewitt made no mention
of limiting crowds. Only string at
tackled was the "all Army regula-
tions are met" and that games be
cancelled on short notice in event
of change in the military situation
Night games would have to be
prepared for immediate blackout.
Even possible return of the Rose
Bowl game was felt, with such
action likely to depend on handling
of crowds at fall games.
Since the original regulation
against crowds larger than 5000
was posted, many gatherings up
and down the coast have exceeded
that limit, with at least two in
the Memorial stadium here running
over the $4,000 mark. Each was
staged with Army sanction.

Shorty Hogue got his return bout
with Bobby Birch Friday night at
the San Diego Coliseum but wish
ed he hadn't when Birch plastered
the Jacumba middleweight all over
the ring and scored third-round
technical knockout
The New York Negro had four
rounds to spare in this fight. for
in the first bout last June ~ he
stopped Shorty in seven. Hogue
blamed the first loss on his poor
physical condition but it was no
excuse Friday night as he was as
good physically as he ever has been.
Hogue had never been licked in a
return bout by a fighter who beat
him the first time but he was a
sorry sight after the devastating
third round Friday night. Birch
blasted him with rights and lefts
to the head that staggered him and
sent him to the ropes A powerful
right to the chin almost floored him
and at the bell Shorty was barely
able to reach his corner. Referee
Frank Holloborow agreed with
Hogue's seconds that it would be
unwise for him to absorb more
punishment and gave the fight to
Birch. Hogue weighed in at 163
while Birch was light at 158.
It looked as though Hogue might
make good his promise of beating
Birch in the second when he put
up a wall of leather that Birch
was unable to penetrate. But Hogue
also had trouble in solving the de-
fense of his opponent.
Hogue,S nose was being examined
Saturday to see if it had been
broken by the powerful punching.

NEW YORK, July 25 CUP) - The
New York Ginats, now noslng TO-
ward upper regions of the National
Leagues S first division. reflect vivid
" the baseball philosophy OF their
1912 manager, little Mel OFT
OFT believes in offensive baseball
- the hard hitting, run making
game-and since his appointment
last December as pilot of the Polo
Grounds outfit, he has concentrated
on assembling a hitting club
This is a sharp contrast to the
policies of Otis predecessor, Bill
Terry. who, though a good batter
himself, bore down on defense and
consequently turned out cams more
noted for defense than attack.
BAD FOR FANS
Under Terry, the Giants tight
defense set records in muffling op-
ponents' scoring. One year Terrys
staff pitched % shutoutS, and held
the opposition to one run in %
other games. These defensive tao
tics won three pennants for the
Giants. And in the years that they
won the flags, this brand of play
maintained fan interest. But when
the Giants couldn't win pennantS,
! the public became bored with the
protective gestures of Terrys lads
and migrated in regiments to Larry
MacPhail's Brooklyn Dodger circus
or to the nearby stadium where
Joe McCarthy's luSty Yankees dealt
dynamite with their ashen wands.
OFT, who was brought to the Polo
Grounds as a kid of l6 by John
McGraw, learned early that runs
were the vitamins upon which fans
thrived. Down through the years,
| from his spot in right field, he
heard the beloved pleas from
bleacher and stand for runs. And
when little Mel ankled to the plate
and took his hobby-horse stride
and-cut at the pitch, he did his
best to provide runs, making a tar
get of the lower right field stands.
AS run-maker he was mighty
successful, but he craved company
And when Messrs. Stoneham, Bon
dy and Brannick made him player
manager in December, he set about
getting that company.

NEW YORK, July 25-UP) =
New York Yankees victory in the
1912 American league pennant race
may be taken for granted by most
of the baseball public but
what may not be generally recog-
nized is the fact that Spud Chand-
Ter is on his way to the best record
for Yankee pitcher in three years
Not since 1889 have the Yankees
boaSted a 2O-game winner. Red
Ruffing was the last when he won
81 and lost seven in his fourth
straight 20-victory year. Lefty Go
mez' last brilliant season was in
1887 when he won 81.
Chambers best year as Yankee
was in 1888 when he won Ia and
lost five. He has won IL and lost
two this season and should go well
past that mark.
The chunky graduate of the Uni
versity of Georgia chalked up his
11th victory yesterday pitching a
four-hit, 80 decision over the Tig-
erS.

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

Little Mel got big Johnny Mize
from the Cardinals, gambling on
Johnny's score shoulder. Today
Mize is leading the league in home
runs and runs batted in. II Branch
Hickey of the Cards had kept Mize,
st Louis probably would be battling
claw-and fang with Brooklyn for
the league lead.
Then OFT sent for Hank Leiber,
and the big fellow delivered at first.
but couldn't regain his stride after
leg injury. OFT insisted that
Catcher Harry Danning remain
with the club because OF his big
bludgeon, although the front office
wanted 10 sell Harry the Horse
down the river because of training
breaches in l941.
RISK OF MONEY
OFT corralled Bill Werber, and
risked good money on Willard Mar
shall, hard hitting rookie from At
lanta Babe Barne, the big Hungar-
ian slugger from Minneapolis, had
been ordered before Otis regime,
but to keep the right-handed hitting
up to snuff, OFT recalled Buster
MAYNARD from Jersey City, the
Giants farm where Buster had
started at a 800 clip.
OFT made his most dramatic move
for hitting power recently when he
made Babe Young his centerfielder'
Young's home run in the 1lth in
ming yesterday licked the Cincin-
natl Reds in the struggle for third
place. It was his second game-win-
ming homer in two days. Young,
the lanky first baseman who knock
ed in 100 runs in each of the two
previous seasons and blasted 10 home
runs in 1910 and 25 in Al had been
nudged off first-base by Mize. So
OFT shifted Young and his big
bat TO center field, gambling the
power of Bab's batting punch
against his defensively weak throw
ing arm.
Since that shift the Giants have
won seven Of eight games.
OFT, perhaps the most popular
player in Polo Grounds history, has
popularized his club amazingly with
the fans by satisfying their hunger
for aggressive baseball. Attendance
is bombing at home and picking up
robustly on the road.
