Shawn Visits
Munnaw, His
Protege, Here

"Mumaw is my right arm-my
right legl" exclaimed Ted Shawn,
famed American ballet master and
teacher, while on a recent visit
to Keesler Field.
"He is, without doubt, the
greatest dancer of his generation"
Mumaw is now Pvt. R. Barton
Mumaw, of the 398th Tech. Sc.
So
Since he has gone, I'm lost"
continued Shawn, who had made
the trip from his Massachusetts
ballet theatre especially to visit
and discuss plans with Private
Mumaw, his ex-pupil and star
dancer.
CREATES OWN DANCES
Shawn, 81, and graying, but still
an active dancer, had come to
depend on Private Mumaw, who
had been with him for II years,
for many details, ideas and stim-
ulation. Now. OF his IL interna-
tionally famed male dancers, nine
are in the armed services.
Private Mumaw, Of Tennsy lvania
Dutch extraction, is %. His dark
color and particularly high cheek
bones give his an almost foreign
aspect. His manner is quiet, con-
| fldent.
Almost half OF his dances are
choreographed by himself, repre-
senting his personal approach to
modern dance. Described as the
modern Nijinsky," his reviews
have been unanimous in their
praise.
ARTS PROGRAM PRAISED
Last year he separated, tempor-
arily, from the Shawn group, and
made solo appearance tour, US
ing a combination Of both Shawn's s
and his own choreography.A storm
OF enthusiastically favorable COM
ment arose.
Shawn expressed pleasure that
Private Mumaw had been stationed
IN a camp which appreciated and
could use his talents, and whose
commanding officer, Col Robert
z. NJ. Goolrick, was so interested
in the fine arts program.
Private Munaw. in addition TO
dancing al Post Theatre No. and
the Red Gross Hospital Recreation
Hall, has appeared at numerous
Pos, and area benefits. Each Of
his dances must have at least 500
hours Of preparation before it is
presented before the public.

The two leaders of the B softball
league, City of Ell Centre and I'M

manned neck and neck as the office
team went back into tie for first
place with a 6-2 win over the I'M
perial Merchants Thursday night.
Tunney Williams, replacing Dick
wyatt who was unable to be at
the game, limited the Merchants to
three hits as the losers were in
itiated into the fire of B league
play. The Merchants took over the
place of the Ortiz All-Stars, recent

participation.
Williams had just been told by
his doctor that he could resume
play after being ordered to stop
entirely for a time. Ordinarily an
infielder, Williams took Wyatts
place and pitched one of the best
games of the season.

FOR TWO TITLES

NEW YORK, July "a. (UP) -
Heavyweight Tami Mauriello and
FeatherWeight Lulu Constantine,
both New Workers, were a notch
closer to the tops of their divisions
today. but neither had garnered
much luStre in the rise.
Mauriello, rangy young Bronx
Italian with a slightly crippled right
ankle. scored a technical knockout
over Red Burman, Baltimore veter-
an at 2.58 of the ninth round last
night in the scheduled 10-round
main event at Madison Square Gar
den.
But before Referee FranKie Full
lam stopped the bout because OF
Burmans badly gashed left brow,
Ancient Baltimore Red had provided
such Unexpectedly stiff opposition
that most of the 1927 fans were
convinced Mauriello will be a quick
kayo victim if he ever meets Corp.
Joe Louis.
Featherweight Constantine clinch-
ed a title shot with Champion Chal-
ky Wright at the Garden, Sept. %,
by taking an unpopular split deci-
sion from Pedro Hernandez. Brook

Tommy Farmer, Manuel's man

fighters weight up over the 100
mark and then scale him down
until he is in the pink. They
figure this will give Manuel more
strength and a little more solid
punch to throw at Salica.
If the FL Centre battler develops
much more OF a wallop it is doubt
full whether the champ will be able
to even last the distance with him
Jackie ZURICH, former flyweight
champion, holds Manuel's power III

his money riding on the challeng-
er's gloves. ZURICH should know

knocked him out-uncommon in

ball savvy to learn that only dc
fense has kept Cincinnati in the
top half of the senior circuit.
McKechnie's problem is simple.
He needs new and younger talent.
He always has had a penchant for
building around veterans and now
the strategy is back-firing because
time and the law of averages have
caught up with his oldsters. His
stars are no longer capable of play
ing with the verve and skill of their
younger days.
Perhaps the deacon is realizing
it, too, because he shipped four men
away last week and brought in
three new ones. Outfielders Frank
Kelleher of Newark and Eric Tip
ton of Kansas City were purchased
from the Yankee chain and Catcher
AL Alkeman brought in from Syra-
cuse. Veteran Rollie HemSley was
released, Harry Craft sent to Kan
saS City and Jim Turner and Joe
Abreu to Newark.
These reinforcements will have
an excellent opportunity to show
their worth today when the Reds

Simple addition, of course, shows
that the Reds have won more games

Phils and it takes only little base
