Mi|Iers' Wright Is Struck Out
Of Game by Bottle Fan Threw
Dizziness From Blow on Head to Keep Alb
Idle This Year, Perhaps End Career

September when Wright was
struck by bottle thrown by a fan
in the stands. The fan who threw
the bottle was extradited from his
home in Kansas for trial in Kansas
City, but he was inducted into the
Army before date for his trial
was set.
Wright holds the all-time asso-
citation record for the most bases
in one game-19. He hammered out
four home runs and a triple on July
4, 1910. against ST. Paul.
In 1889 he led the association in
three departments, hits, 1876. total
bases, BOT, and runs batted in, 1874,
but lost out for the batting cham
pionship to Gil English, finishing
with 1897 in 152 games to .343 in 139
games for English.
Last year Wright batted '.291, but
tied for second in home runs with
% and was second in runs batted
in with 10.

Heovies on Spot Now

There was time when the heavy

different now. When Louis and

lighter weights moved into their
vacant spots.
In this list we have had Beau

the unastoniShaole Mike Jacobs with
their crowd appeal.
Jacobs still is wandering around

Move Capital

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 22-(P)
The news from Hollywood to-
day concerns no movie beauty,
no handsome leading man. The
news is that THE Song of
Bernadette" premiered at the
Carthay Circle theater last night
and it has given this flippant
town a topic of conversation
which holds no trace of flip
pancy.
THE Song of Bernadette," a
goth Century-FoX picture, was
shown before an invitationai
audience that numbered not
only the usual film celebrities
and- writers but also scores of
clericS of all faiths. 1t was pre-
coded by the superfluous pomp
and fanfare of all premieres,
but the audience went away
thoughtfully, probably for the
most part reverently.
/ suppose it could ,be called
a propaganda film. If so, what
it propagandizes is faith, the
ability 10 believe in something
that cannot be explained. This is
summed up the dean Of Lourdes,
magnificently played by Charles
Bickford, when he says: TO
those who believe in God
no explanation is necessary;
TO those who don't, no explana-
ton will suffice"
The story, written by the ref
ugee Czech novelist, Franz Wer-
fel, who was too i'll TO attend
the premiere, is familiar TO al
most everyone. 1t is set at
LourdeS, in southern France,
midway in the 10Th century, and
concerns the ailing, adolescent
Bernadette Soubirous, TO whom
the Holy Virgin appears in a
vision. Bernadette, played by
Jennher Jones, screen I'M
known, is the medium through
whom miracles are manifested
She endures persecution and
ridicule until ultimately a COM
mission of churchmen and
scientists authenticates the mir
scles and Bernadette dedicateS
