Dizzy Trout
Takes Game

Philadelphia, Aug. 14-AP-Every
now and then the Philadelphia Ath.
letics rise up from the depths of
the American League seventh
place currently-to spoil somebody
else's show.
When 1t appeared as though pitch
ers Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout
OF the Detroit Tigers might make
a dead.heat finish Of their race into
the promised land OF 90 victories,
the Athletics complicated matters.
Newhouser and Trout, each seek
ing No. l9. worked yesterdays dou-
bleheader for the Tigers, but only
Dizzy was a success. He beat the
AS, 6 to o, in the second game after
Hal had lasted only to the seventh
inning in losing the opener. 6 to j.
Seven hits were all the Athletics
could get off Trout after they had
given Newhouser pasting. The
victory gave Trout the distinction
OF having won more games than any
other twirler in the big leagues.
The Tigers gave Newhouser little
enough backing, however. They
were held to three hits by Don
Black, and got their only run In the
seventh on Joe HooYer's walk,
pinch hitter Don Ross single, and a
force out.
The AS used two walks and
single for a run in the fourth and
Irv Halls triple and Bobby Estal-
elias single for another in the fifth.
In the seventh they chased New
houser when Frank Hayes. Charley
Metro and Bill MCGhee singled be-
hind an error and a walk for three
runs.
Within three innings the Tigers
had Pour runs and jesse Flores
under the showers in the second
encounter to make things certain
for Trout.
Pinky Higgins tripled aud Joe
Orengo doubled for one run in the
second. In the third Eddie Mayo op-
ened with a single and Chuck
Hmtetler tripled him home. After
Flores had walked Rudy York,
he was greeted with a single by
Dick Wakefield and double by
Paul Richards.
The Tigers put over two more
for good measure IN the eighth. but
Trout was in such strong command
that they were entirely unneces-
sary.
The teams meet again tonight In
the third game OF the series.

The author of this book, a news

calls attention to the Union of
South Africa's role in the war,
noting that that country's decision
to enter the conflict on the side of
the Allies changed the entire war

seized control Of the Mediterranean.

the generals foresight in guiding
the young commonwealth through
its formative years and concludes
on a note Of promise for the future
development Of the country's vast
natural resources.
He also sounds a note Of warning

By Florence S. Berryman.

Herman Maril of Baltimore, whose
work has been seen frequently in
group exhibitions in Washington
during the past decade, is having a
one-man show at the Whyte Gal
lery until the end of January. The
artist, who has been in the Army
for 18 months, was present for the
opening last Sunday. He is now a
sergeant and is stationed at the
Newton D. Baker General Hospital,
Martinsburg, w. Va, in the special
service.
There is strong individuality in his
painting. Once familiar with his
style, one will probably recognize it
with ease, no matter how different
the subjects depicted. However,
Sergt. Maril is partial to certain
subjects, which he paints in varia-
tions. He likes city streets, with a
single figure emphasizing a feeling
OF loneliness; Baltimore docks, with
a boat or two near a wharf; ma
chinery, such as steam shovels in
landscapes, and moody stretches of
countryside. Figures per Sc are not
his forte; he is best at painting in
cidental figures that add scale and
human interest to a landscape or
street scene.
He employs a modern idiom, SIM
plifying his paintings to make each
statement as concise as possible. But
as there Is little or no distortion in
his work, one knows what he is
saying, and finds much of it salts
flying. Particularly noteworthy in
the present show are the quiet,
peaceful Farm Near Deerfeld," the
melancholy Winter on a Farm"
Sunday on the Docks" Baltimore
water 'front.' and Machine and
Man." in the foreground of a CITY,
scape. His cool, harmonious colors,
predominantly green, blue, gray
brown and white, and quiet, nicely
spaced subjects, give his work par
ticular appeal In this feverish, clut-
tered era.
Sergt. Maril says that his expert
ence in the Army has given him
much more perspective on things In
general, and that he wants to paint
the Interrogation of these experi-
ences in as firm a structure as DOS
sible.

Long Were the Nights
By Hugh B. Caue. (Dodd,
Mead

Night after night, the Jap vessels
Of the "Bougainville Express" would
move on Guadalcanal to shell the
marines, then slink back to their
bases on Bougainville. Navy author
tiles, pressed on many sides, could
find at the time no impressive relief
for the tired, battered marines. So
they sent the best means at their
disposal squadron nf eight small
PIT boats.
AS it turned out, the Navy could
have made no better choice. Four
months after Squadron tx" arrived
on the scene, the infamous "Bou-
gainville Express was no more. How
the diminutive PTS dealt the telling
blow to the Japs is graphically told
in this book, the result of interviews
with members Of Squadron "x." It
makes for good reading.

John Barrymore
Lives On in Book
By Gene Fowler
Good Night, Sweet Prince
By Gene Fouler. Viking
PresS.J

Now and then springs up q per-
sonality too individual, too strangely
alive, ever to at the ordinary
|pigeonholes Of understanding. Such
. man was John Barrymore-arti
actor. lover, playboy. alcoholic, wit
and mystic. In this book he is
shown as all these things and many
more by his friend Gene Fowler, q
good reporter and man Of courage.
Consider his materials. Barry
more was the Nations romantic idol
when he played Peter Ibbetson,
and there are many who contend
his Hamlet was the greatest ever
portrayed. Dealing with these, any
biographer would have easy sailing.
But Barrymore despised romantics,
referring even to his four marriages
as "bus accidents" He preferred
himself with stubbly chin, slouch
hat and baggy clothes. He convert
ed top floor of . New York house
into an "Alchemist,s Corner" and
forbade the maid ever to sweep
away a cobweb. He indulged q
passion for animals by feeding pet
birds with worms held between his
lips, and by keeping a vulture for
which he rified Hollywood garbage
cans at night to provide decayed
meat. Even more difficult for the
biographer must have been the
handling of Barrymore's drinking.
When Dolores Costello took him away
on a yacht to keep him from al
cohol, he consumed her perfume
and all the mouthwash on the boat.
It was no easy task, writing this
biography, particularly for a man
who feels the affection for his SUBJ
ject that Fowler feels for Barry
more. 1t is, however, complete,
perhaps too complete, or too long.
But whether you admire or despise
the late great actor, the facts are
here, presented largely in anecdote.
You have a detailed portrait of a
man more afflicted by loneliness
than anything else, but possessed
OF such life and vitality that it Is
dffhcult to remember he lies beneath
a stone on which Lionel Barrymore
had these words craven: Good
Night, Sweet Prince"

cuities, hollow and fired direct,
strongly colored and heavily glazed.
Grotesque in the extreme, these
fanctful works are not bad dreams,
but imaginative simplificat tions of
natural forms which amuse, and at
the same time engender admiration,
Again the source is nature. To glibly
class these works as modern" is to
show little comprehension of their
true character. They are, to be
sure, of today and genuinely orig
inal, but also they reflect the past

Porodox Isle
By Carol Bdche. (Knopt)

Written with persuasive charm,
this book by an American woman
who spent IA years in Japan, re-
counts personal memories of Japan
ese ways and habits. The result of
the volume is to remind the reader
that the islanders were not always
thought of as our enemies, and that
not long In the past. we held kindly
even affectionate, feelings for the
polite little men and women Of Nip
pom. And so, though many of the
episodes which Miss Bache reports
are. in themselves. humorous, the
book is, in sum, somewhat sadden-
ing.
1t tells of the faithfulness of the
Japanese servant. of the pomposity
Of the ofhcial, Of the curious diff
ference between the Eastern and
Western senses of humor, of the
honor in which the Emperor is held
all more or less familiar material.
Nonetheless, Miss Bache has a fresh
and attractive approach. BY putting
all her examinations of Japanese
modes into narratives of personal
experience, she injects interest into
her material, even when the mater
ial itself is not news. She uses both
humor and shrewdness.
OF considerable incidental interest
Is the fact that her presence in ia
pan was due to her employment by
the military intelligence division
She writes nothing Of that-natur-
ally. But a reader, observing he1
keenness. will hope that some day
of1cial discretion will relax to permit
her to write another book of ex-
perience-of a somewhat different
kind
