opens June 81 at the Milo Theatre.
Betty Cradle, Vic Mature and Jack
Oakie are co-starred.
The shirt was loud plaid num-

his bags. After four days of shoot

ming the shirt into his suitcase
preparatory to leaving, the tired
shirt finally gave way. Since Jack
was not yet finished with his series
of packing up scenes, a new shirt
had to be substituted.

JOINT RETURNS

The vexatious question of joint
returns from Husbands and wives

purposes is again before Congress,
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee having voted to consider
husbands and wives as taxable
units" The provision is said to
be the only way of making pay
ment of income taxes equitable
between the nine Community

nine states which do not have laws
giving the husband and wife the
statutory right to one-half the

That the Importance of pitch
ing often is Overrated is demon
strated by the fact that the SOx
have had better pitching this
year than they did last season.
They Just can't get enough runs.
One AnstUer
Jim Bagby Jr., hurler for the
Cleveland Indians, knocked off five
victories in rush the early part OF
this season. Last year he totaled
only nine victories And he states
definitely that he isn't pitching a bit
better than he did in l34l.
Toward the end of the spring
training season, Muddy Ruel, Sox
coach, said: 1--WE have a sound,
balanced team. Our pitching is
great, our infield dependable, our
catching the best and our outfieId
needs only reserves"
Muddy was right. The pitching
has been more than excellent-if not
great. The infield has been better
than average and the outfield has
lived up to Muddy's promises. But
the hitting has been weaker than
watered milk.
1t is true that the Sox had to get
along without the services. Of Thorn
ton Lee and Taft Wright. But Lee.
who won % games last season,
couldn't have helped them much be-
cause their greatest need has been
for hitting, not hurting.

pirical explosions are used largely
in behalf Of the old alibi. They are
employed to cover up mistakes or de-
feats in connection with critical
crowds.
There is belief also that crowds
like scrappy baseball. Crowds, do.
But crowds would rather see the
battle between two teams-the speed
and brains of Ty Cobb, the brains
and power of Babe Ruth or Lou
Gehrig or a Ted Williams thrown
against the other team. not against
the umpires.
A ball player who bats 1888 is
above the average. Yet, that means
he is flop two-thirds of the time.
Umpires make mistakes, but not
as many mistakes as managers and
ball players make-if you happen to
look at the daily box scores.
The greatest pitcher that ever
lived-Walter Johnson. never had
an argument with an umpire. He
was concentrating on the main job
pitching-nOt on some umpire's de-
cisiOn. Among a few other pretty
fair country pitchers in this respect
! might include Christy Mathewson,
Cy Young, Grover Cleveland Alex
ander, Ed Walsh, Mordecai Brown.
I've never seen a great pitcher
who was an umpire fighter No
one is great enough to split his con-
centration-to look out first for the
alibi.

The Bal Players Pick

Ball players know what can hap
pen between June and October.
They are not the best guessers in
the world-but who is? In talking
over the two big league campaigns
with managers and veterans-we' Il
leave the younger fellows out--this
is the way they figure the two races:
American League-The Yankees
chased by the Red SOx and the In
dams.
National League-AnOther red-hot
all-summer stretch run between
Dodgers and the Cardinals.
This was a majority vote, by a
wide margin. from the dozen or
more respected opinions sought.
No one expects Lou Boudreau's
Indians to hold the dizzy pace they
offered the league through the first
few weeks, The material, minus
Bobby Teller. isn't that good. But
Boudreau has turned in a great job
so far So has Joe Cronin. /"
Yankees, Dodgers and Cardinals
began the season with the better
teams-much better teams. They
we're the headline entries.

dlnals will meet the Yankees in the

But through the remainder Of the

for the mistakes managers and bali
players make.
