LOS ANGELES, Mar. 9.-Charles
Spencer Chaplin must defend HIM
self in court against 24-year-old
Joan Berry's accusations in a civil
suit that he is the father of her
5-month-o child.
Superior Judge Stanley Mosk yes
terday denied a motion by the come
dams attorneys for dismissal of the
paternity suit and ordered him to
answer the action within 10 days.
Chaplin, also accused of Mann Act

Miss Berry, based his motion on
stipulation in which all parties
agreed that If blood tests indicated
the actor was not the child's father,
the suit should be dismissed.

entered into.
Obligation Of Impartiality.
"To the adult parties to the ac-
ton" Judge Mosk said, "this or
any court owes only the obligation
of impArtiality - but to the
infant, unable to maintain its own
rights under the law, the court owes
the additional duty Of protection.
This court is being asked to enter
judgment against the plaintiff CMiss

SAN DIEGO, March II. up
With 81 players already in the
fold, including II veterans from
last years team and total of AZ
men working out. daily, the San
Diego Padres chances for an upper
division berth this year took a de-
cided upswing Friday.
The pitching staff will be built
around fire -baller Frankie Dasso,
who led the league last year with
154 strikeouts, while hurting u
wins and losing 8.
Padre Manager George Detore
said IF Frankie Dasso doesn't win
at least 20 games this season, I'll
be a badly disappointed manager
In fact I wouldn't be a bit sur
prised if he won close to 25.'
Dasso has kept in shape by pitch
ing for Rohr Aircraft during the
winter and turned in some sparkling
l to 0 and 2 to q triumphs.
Other hurlers from the 1943 squad
who will perform again this year
are southpaws Jim Brillheart, Red
Dilbeck, and Chet Johnson, who
should be one Of the leagues lead
ing pitchers; Rex Cecil and FRANK
Lamanske, taken off the voluntar-
lily retired list. Dilbeck hasn't check
ed in yet.
Although big Charlie Schanz was
drafted by the Phillies, his place
should be adequately filled by new
comers Joe Valenbuela and Alfred
Faccio, both right handlers from
Tucson, Ariz.
The catching spot looks solid with
Bill Salkeld, rater 4-F because Of
a bad knee, Del Ballinger and De-
tore. Outfielder Morry Abbott may
be put behind the plate because Of
sloWness afield. All are distance hit
ters.
First Baseman George McDon-
aid, 800 batter last season, refus-
es TO return and wants to be traded
TO Los Angeles or Hollywood but
the front office says George will
play in San Diego or not at all.

Who said young Americas get
ting soft?
1t might be well for a few par
entS TO take a walk out to their
various schools during the recrea-
ton and supervised playground pc
RODS and see how those youngsters
play.
At Wilson school last week We
saw groups playing baseball, soft
ball, tennis, basketball and a few
kicking the Of pigskin around. Girls
were playing volleyball, basketball,
softball, and tennis. A few were
playing badminton and table ter
mis-, And all around there were
groups of enthusiastic spectators
cheering their favorites, as the 447
pupils wore off surplus energy.
WE HAD A REASON
But the reason this sports writer
went to that particular school was
that he had learned that eighth
grade boys were playing "razzle-
dazzle" softball.
WHAT'S THIS? --..
When we arrived on the scene
Chuck Munson had just hit a safe
ball into center field. That was or
thodox. But from that moment on
nothing was the same. Chuck cut
off for third, Eddie Jones who was
on second ran to first, Jack Burke
took off for second and everything
was ''razzle- dazzle"
1t seemed that sometime ago the
PoSt-Press carried an article tell
ing OF a proposed try-out of this
type of baseball next fall by two
major league teams. Mrs. Nilla
Harris, Wilson teacher, and her
boys evolved simple set of rules
and play began. Now the boys don't
want to play anything else and
the most interesting thing is that
1t is not half as confusing as il
one would think.
BASE RUNNERS EVERYWHERE
We saw two boys on second base,
