Superb Picture

The Michigan follows up
"Sullivan's Travels" with an
other superb picture in THE
Little Foxes"
Bette Davis has had things
pretty much her own way at
Warmers for a long time, but
she had 10 ge~ta-Sam Goldwyn
10 get a role in which she could
really give everything.
Nothing daunted by the sue
cess which Tallulah Bankhead
enjoyed during the long run OF
the Lillian Hellman play, Bette
decided she had her own way of
pOrtraying the scheming Regina
Giddens, whose greed kills her
husband and alienates her from
her child
Although Bette has long adj
mired Tallulah, she no longer
stands in awe Of her and her
performance is considerably diff
ferent from the Bankhead in
depreciation.
DAVIS plays it with colder,
more calculating force, which.
while minus the Bankhead
languor, proves more dramatic.
Tallul a h was seductively
silent, Bette'S quiet is more
ominouS and even people who
are not particularly fond Of
Davis, will have 10 admit that
she is now the screens leading
actress

this fracas," he went on. "but
In that's out then I'll have to do

about the administration in the
New Orleans state, so long as

 Evers, owner of a sports goods store in Albany and the superin- tendent of Albany's Bleecker Sta dium, says he can't remember how many times he was ordered of the playing field. He recalls an incident which occurred when he was with the New York Giants as a coach in 1920.
 One day manager John McGraw had to leave town. He placed Johnny in charge of the team and told the little "Spitfre" not to get into trouble with the umpires.
 But Johnny's temper got the best of him, and he was heaved out on the very first day he took over. Bill Klem did the heaying.
 Ross Youn was the batter Evers recalls. "Klem called third strike on Young and thumbed him out. Young theA pushed Klem, who fell to the ground.
 "As came in from the coaching line, I said to Bill:
 You brought that on yourself, Bill"
 Get out of here, you're out, too," he said.
 "McGraw had warned me not to be put out of a game when he left the club and I had a tough time convincing him I should not have been chased. He was pretty sore"

Johnny Evers, Who Fought Them All, Tells Players Not To Bait Umpires

Albany, N. Y. = (UP) = Johnny Evers, who was known as the "Hu- man Crab" because of his many wrangles with National League umpires, offers this advice to minor league players who aspire to reach the majors: Don't fight umpires."
 The former member of the fa- nous Tinker . to Evers- to- Chance infield combination has mellowed with the passing of the years. Now past middle age, Evers has changed his mind about the unfortunate umpire. As an example, every time he and Bill Klem meet, they af- fectionately embrace each other.
 It was different when Johnny was playing with the Cubs and other National League teams in the early 190Os. Many a time Klem heaved Evers out for arguing.
 "No," says Johnny, "a ball player cannot get anywhere fighting um- pires. Just as soon as player de- cides to forget about fighting them, the better of he'll be.
 Sure, I fought 'em," Johnny ad- niits, but adds:
 "Ive made many mistakes in my life and fighting umpires was one

MAURIELL0-L0UIS
 BOUT ALMOST SET

ond he had his younger and taller opponent staggering about the ring from a succession of hooks to the chin. However, Ta1ni rallied sur- prisingly and before the session was over Burman was groggy from a counter-attack. Mauriello hit Red so hard with straight right that Burman thought the bell had rung and started walking toward his cor- ner. Burman came back to the third round with a smashing body attack that jack-knifed Tami, who has battered and pulled about the ring.
 Burman fought gamely thereafter, but tired rapidly, although he stag gered Tami twice in the sixth. Near the close of the seventh, Mauriello landed a steaming right on Reds left brow, opening a deep gash that bled profusely and was an easy target for more hammering until Fullam stopped the bout.
 The victory over Burman, who had been kayoed in the fifth by Louis more than year ago, leaves Mauriello unbeaten as heavy weight. but still unimpressive when regarded as a prospective opponent for Corporal Louis.
 The gate was $21 ,049, rather dis appointing considering that there had been no boxing in the Garden for two months.

 New York. July 24. - (UP)- Heavyweight Tami Mauriello and Featherweight Lulu Costantino, 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 veteran at 2:58 of the ninth round last night in the scheduled 10-round main event at Madison Square Garden.
 But before Referee Frankie Fullam stopped the bout because of Burman's badly gashed left brow, ancient Baltimore Red had provided such unexpectedly stiff op- position that most of the 10,217 fans were convinced Mauriello will be a quick kayo victim if he ever meets Corporal Joe Louis.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs will try to match 20-year-old Tami with Louis in September if Mauriello beats Lee Savold of Des Moines August 20, and if the Army permits Louis to defend his title.
 Featherweight Costantino clinched a title shot with champion Chalky Wright at the Garden, September 25, by taking an unpopular split de- cision from Pedro HerandeZ, Brook lyn Puerto Rican, in the 12-round semi final - two rounds longer than the main events scheduled distance.
 Judge George Lecron agreed with the United Press scoring in voting for Hernandez, but Judge Bill Healy and Referee Jed Gahan ballotted for Costantino, who was beaten cas- fly month ago by Hernandez in an eight-rounder at Dexter Park On the United Press Card, Herman dez's solid left hooks to body and head won five rounds. Costantino's wraith-like boxing skill took four sessions, and they battled on even terms in three. Costantino weighed 127 pounds to Hernandez's 124 3-4 There wasn't a knockdown in either bout, but there was thunder ous punching in the early rounds ot the heavyweight braWl. Burman scaling 186 1-2 pounds to Mauriel- los 180 IA, took only the second and third rounds. Early in the sec

Considered by many to be the best welterweight in the world, Cocoa will meet Milo Theodorescu, violin playing Rumanian 15O-pounder who has better than fair success against many of the nations leading welter- weights and middleweightS in the last couple of years.
 Cocoa, who fights out of New Haven, ranks right along with Ray Robinson as one of the greatest fighting machines now active. The tall Negro will be 8 definite favorits to win over Theodorescu but the latter is aggressive, can take terrific punch and his record shows that he is at his best in the under dog role.
 Among the many top notchers who have fallen victim to the sharp shooting New Haven contender are Norman Rubio, Carl Dell, Slugger White, Jerry Fiorello, Manuel Villa, Tony Martin, Steve Mamakos, Joe Sutka, Winnie Vines and Wicky Harkins. In the last few months Cocoa has won over Irish Eddie Dolan, local star; Holman Williams, another of the few to defeat Eddie; hard hitting Pete Deruzza; and Joe Legon, Cuban welterweight champ ion.
 Dolan, whose fistic ambition is to get another chance at Cocoa, will make his first start since losing to the latter in the second eight rounder on the attractive card ar- ranged by Matchmaker Mickey Dance.
 The clever portsider will go to the post against Rego Dell, fast-rising Scranton, Pa., welterweight, who put up several very satisfactory fights here last summer. Dell is said to be much improved and is primed to score an upset tonight.
 However, it wouldn't be too much of an upset to see the Italian coal miner edge out Dolan. Rego has been fighting steadily while Dolan has been idle and his sensational clashes with Red Moffet and Joe DeMartino last winter at Bridgeport are proof enough that he Is a much improved scrapper.
 Three preliminary bouts will round out the card, with 8 six-rounder between Tony Gillo of New Haven, and Dula Kovach, of Naugatuck, both 175-pounders, likely to grab the spotlight. Gillo and Kovach make up in aggressiveness what they lack in cleverness and have always put up good fights here.
 Two four -rounders will pit Buck Boring, lightweight from the Noro- ton Naval Station, with Billy Mar GUS, Hartford 135-pounder, and Tom Collins, Waterbury welter, against Billy Conklin, New Haven puncher.

 Chicago, July 24 = (U.P.) - Bry- son Nelson, the perfectionist of golf, good-naturedly warned his op- ponents in the $15,0OO Tam O'Shan- ter Open today that his game was back at the peak that brought him his last major title-the masters at Augusta, Ga.
 As the second round in the links richest prize money event started Nelson was tied for the lead with Lawson Little, the long hitting Cali fornian from Monterey Park. Both shot f1ve-underpar 67's yesterday when field of POP began play.
 Nelson, who registers from Toledo O., seldom is satisfied with his game so his fellow pros felt shaky when he admitted satisfaction after yes- terday's round.
 That round was only the second one Sicne I won the 'masters that was satisfactory to me-" Nelson said, "the other was when I shot 66 in an exhibition match at Flint, Mich" 1"
 But Nelson wasn't alone in be- lieving his game at its long sought peak. Little agreed.
 As a consequence, Nelson, who took the title here a year ago with 10 under par 278 total for 72 holes, and Little may be tough to catch.
 In second place with a 68 was Glib Sellers of Walled Lake, Mich, and just stroke behind were Dick Metz of Oak Park, H., and Clayton Haefner of Linville, N. c.
 Chick Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich; Jim Terrier of Elmhurst, H.; Ky Laffoon, wild Bill" Melhorn of Chicago and Jim Milward of Madi- son, Wis, were deadlocked for the next place with Cards of 70.
 While the open field was playing it's second round, the amateurs moved into the semi final round with Corporal Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash, meeting another serviceman, Mike Stolarik, 9, a storekeeper at the Great Lakes Na- val Training Station; and Milford Wehrle of Racine, Wis, opposing Johnny Holmstrom, University of Illinois star, in 36 hole matches.
 Ward, 1741 National Amateur Champion, was outstanding in His third and fourth round matches yes- terday. In the third round he went 2 Sholes before beating Earl Stewart 10 Dallas, Tex, and then won 6 and 5 from John Lehman of Chicago in the fourth round.
 Stolarik eliminated Lieutenant Dick Chapman of Knollwood Field, N. C., 194O national amaeur king, and John Htoltz, Northwestern Uni versity youngster. Wehrle advanced at the expense of Alec Welch of Rockford, H., and Frankie Strana- han of Toledo, O., while Holmstrom eliminated two Chicagoans, Pick Wagner 2 and and Earl Cooke 3 and 2.

LATINS FIND TENNIS TO THEIR LIKING

Tn winning the Tri-City tourna- ment in Cincinnati and adding the New Jersey, Brooklyn and East ern Clay court championships on successive week lends, Segura's hamboyant play and striking suc- cesses captured the spectators fancy.
 He beat highly-regarded Billy Talbert in the final in Cincinnati. Ladislav Hecht in the Brooklyn and New Jersey and Schroeder in the Clay Court.
 He routed Hecht, former Czechoslovakian Davis Cupper, by the amazing scores of so, 60, 60 in the New Jersey final. Schoe- der, who had beaten him in the Sugar Bowl tournament in New Orleans, was disposed of under a broiling sun in one holr and 40 minutes, 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
 "Tennis is beeg theeng in South America" says Pancho, who has been in this country two years, speaks an accented English. He is studying business administra- tion at Miami, Fla. University, has completed his freshman year.
 Entries in the Clay Court matches would sem to vouch for Latin in- terest in the game. Along with &c., gura, Eduardo Buse, junior cham pion of Peru; the Vegas brothers, Rolando and Armando, of Mexico; Arturo Cano, Bolivian vice-conSul; and Alejo Russell, Argentine cham pion, who went to the semi-final round, competed.
 So don't be surprised if Pancho Segura, the energetic Ecuadorian, and his South and Central Amer ican colleagues supply most of the flavor to U. s. tennis at leas for the duration.
