Movie Comic Brown,
Honorary Pitcher,
Whiffs General
BY RUSS NEWLAND,
Associat ted Press Sports Writer.

SAN FRANCISCO, May AUST
as baseball returned not long age
to mortar-shattered Rizal Stadium
in Manila, where stencil from de.
bris- covered Japanese dead still en-
dured, baseball has enjoyed grand
opening on Leyte.
The horsehide inaugural in the
mid-Philippines was on more pre-
tentious scale than in Manila and
Associated Press Correspondent
Richard G. Bergholz, described the
recent opener as enjoying AL the
fanfare of q major league opener"
Professional ball players now
fighting for their country put all
their zip into it and an honorary
battery added touch Of home.
The honorary pitcher was Joe E.
Brown, the screen comic, who has
done such q swell job entertaining
the frontline fighting men.
While the CTS yowled with glee
Brown twisted his apple pie-wide
mouth into characteristic grimaces
during warm-up losses. It even af-
fected the honorary batter so 1t
Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger, 9th
Army Commander, struck out
laughing. Brig. Gen. Clovis E.
Byers, a former West Point athletic
star and Gen. Eichelberger's chief
of staff, was Browns battery mate.
More than 5000 GIs-and a fair
sprinkling of baseball-loving Fill
pinos-watched the 9th Army Base
force team trim Signal Corps nine
liza, in a surprisingly well-played
game" reports Bergholz.
"Erv Dusak, former ST. Louis Car
dinals' outfielder, banged out two
for four and scored two runs. But
the real hitting star was 23-year-
old George Byam. formerly with
Louisville and the baseball property
of the Boston Red Sox. Byam got
four hits in five times at bat and
scored four runs" Chat should
interest Manager Joe Cronin of the
Red Sox)
There was only one sad sack
watching the big baseball opener on
Leyte. His name is Hugh Mulcahy
former Philadelphia Phillies' pitcher
and the first big Lacquer to enter
the armed forces.
Mulcahy, a master sergeant, is
manager and coach of the 9th Army
team. Bergholz reports "Mulcahy
worked so hard getting the diamond
ready for play he strained his back
and had to watch the game from
the coaching box"
The field, incidentally, was dedi-
Gated to Col. Rinaldo Coe, former
9Th Army headquarters command
ant killed on the drive to Manila.

GaIIaudet Faces Task
To Defend Title in
Mason-Dixon Meet

With entries in every event, Gal
laudet's trackmen are expected to
retain their Mason-Dixon Confer
meet tomorrow at Catholic Univer-
sity Stadium. But if reports from
rival camps can be accepted at face
value it will be no runaway for the
Blues.
Coach Paul Baldridge will have
the only full team in the games and
this numerical superiority, added to
the Northeast squads fighting spirit,
should be sufficient to whip the
field. But Gallaudet isn't counting
its points until they are up on the
board. Previous meets have pro-
duced 900 many upsets for the ia
orites' peace of mind.
Three 1914 champions will de-
fend their crowns tomorrow. Bridge
waters Bob Richards, who was
third in the Penn relays pole vault
this year, is an overwhelming choice
in that event and also seems likely
to keep his 220-yard hurdle title.
Rudolph Hines, Gallaudet's mile
champ, and teammate Bob Stanley,
40 and $50 yard kingpin, are ex-
pected to repeat.
Gallaudet has another outstand-
ing contender in quarter-miler
Johnny Kubis, who flashed surpris-
ingly good form in a recent meet
with William and Mary and romped
off with the blue ribbon.
Catholic u, usually strong chal-
lenger for the crown, is not expected
to be a serious threat, according to
Coach Dorsey Griffith, who also
serves as conference track chair
man. That is a tip-off to rival
coaches to be on their guard, as
Griffith always has surprise or two
up his coaching sleeve.
Loyola and Washington College,
which has a lone entry, round out
the list of competing schools-the
smallest since the title games were
inaugurated a decade ago. Prelimi-
nary heats will be run off at 1890
am. with finals starting at 2:30 pm

|0'Connor His 5pecia
Aide, Chandler Has
1wo-Front Setup
By the Associated rress.

CHICAGO, May IA. B.
(Happy) Chandler, who is unde-
cided as to when he will shed his
toga as Kentucky Senator and don
the offlcial robes of baseball COM
missioner, spent busy day in Chi
cago yesterday-but all his business
was about baseball.
The major item affecting the
commissioner-elect's office was an
announcement by Mr.. A. B. c. that
business Of the commissioner will be
directed from two fronts-at least
temporarily.
The commissioners headquarters,
in Chicago during the "A years the
late K. M. Lands held Office, will
be in Cincinnati, Chandler said. But
Leslie M. O'Connor, Lands secre-
tary-treasurer, is his now special
assistant" and will be in charge of
the Chicago ONCE. Eventually,
Chandler said, the Chicago Office
will be discontinued and all business
directed from Cincinnati. The new
secretary treasurer Of the baseball
commissioner is Walter Warning
Mulbry, Chambers Senate secre-
tary.
Chandler visited Lands Office
yesterday after a press conference,
posed for photographers on the
throne" of the white thatched
squire. who died last November Is,
and then conferred at length with
O'Connor. That apparently was the
start and finish of Chambers
homecoming" to baseball headquar-
ters
He told newsmen he did not know
when he would resign from the
United States Senate-it may not be
for some time-but in the meantime
the commissioner Office would be
established in Cincinnati with Null
bry in charge. The Kentucky Sena-
tor said the uncertainty of world
affairs might force him to delay
signing his seven-year contract be-
yond June, when it had been ex-
pected he would quit the Senate.
O'Connor, who, with Presidents
Will Harridge and Ford Prick of the
American and National Leagues, will
serve in an advisory capacity to the
commissioner-elect told reporters
he intends to serve as Chandler
special assistant for one year.
by that time, think he will have
a good grasp of his job" declared the
former right hand of the late COM
missioner.
Chandler told reporters he would
be glad to discuss the question OF
Negro players in the big leagues
lover the desk" with representa-
tives of the race; will continue to
attend the Kentucky Derby, but will
not bet, and will 60 to bat for AZ
baseball players.
He left for Louisville last night.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May Gar
roll Widdoes, head football coach at
Ohio State, said today that 1t. Paul
E. Brown, who has q contract to
coach Cleveland's team in the pro-
posed postwar All-America Football
League, lis signing or trying to sign
players from our 1912 freshman
team who are now in service and
has approached some of the varsity
players"
Brown was Widdoes' predecessor
at Ohio State and was on leave Of
absence from the university until
he resigned to accept the Cleveland
job.
When he BROWN was here I
heard him in all of his speeches

cation first and then sign profess
sional contracts" Widdoes said.

As Here for First Night Game;
Mats Best in Nocturnal PIuy

wallop to get that man In from
third base.
The other weakness Is In the
double-play department. Too often
have the Mats passed up chances to
negotiate this important part Of de-
fensive play, and too often has 1t
worked against them.
It hasn't been the fault Of Gil
Torres, converted from third
baseman into a shortstop. Torres
has proved surprisingly good at his
new position. He has been cover
ing a vast amount of territory, made
sparkling stops and his throwing
has been accurate. At feeding the
ball to the second baseman for what
should be the start Of double play,
Torres has done all right. But the
plays haven't been completed.
While Myatt has done about all
that could be asked in other branches
of second-base play, he has yet to
master the art of pivoting for the
relay to first base. Generally, Myatt
has failed to get his relay away
1dct, VI 1lC LOO UCCll hllVShCN OOW41
by the runner tearing into the mid
die station.
Perhaps it's his ailing knee that
doesn't stand up any too well when
quick action is called for. Or it may
be lack of finesse in fielding. It
shouldn't be the latter, though, for
Wyatt has been in the game long
enough to know the tricks of the
trade. But there's something amiss
and the double plays are not going
through as they should. Until
there is an improvement In this
end of the defensive game, the Mats
will encounter more trouble than
ordinarily would be due.
Pieretti Will Need Help.
Tonight, the Mats are sending
their prize rookie, Marine Pieretti,
at the AS. If he has the stuff he
showed against the AS in Philadel-
phia and against the Yanks in New
York, the chunky little pitcher
should give Washington fans
sterling show in his first home start.
He certainly demonstrated he has
pitchers heart as he beat the AS
in II innings and lost to the Yanks
in 10.
But the Mats had better do more
hitting than they have If Pieretti
is to get away with his game. He
can't be expected to do all Of the
work.
The AS are here for four games.
They'll be met again tomorrow aft
ernoon and twice on Sunday. Then
the Mats will plunge into their first
Western tour of the season. When
they get back home May 81 we
should know pretty well where
they'll wind up this year.

Irene Dunne At Lyric In Powerful Love Story

M-G-M's "The White Cllffs ol Dover which opens Sunday at the Lyric theatre, is q powerful love story which spans the years of World War l and World War II.
 As an American visitor in Eng land, Irene Dunne meets Alan Marshal. She falls in love with him and after a brief eourtship marries him. Their love is idy lic- but it is interrupted by the out break of the war. Marshal an- swers the call to arms and never gets a chance to see his son.
 Time passes quickly and an- other World War has interrupted many a peaceful home and hre' side. Again Miss Dunn makes a sacrifice, this time sending her son off to combat against the 1 Nazis. Her son is brought to a hospital mortally wounded, and with her at his side he breathes his last. Miss Dunne's perform ance is by far the greatest m her cinematic career. She gives the warmth and color to role that requires the utmost in perfection. Supporting her are Alan Marshal who also gives a sterling account l of himself as her lover and hus- band; Frank Morgan, as her father; Roddy McDowall, as her son Tn youth, and Peter Lawford her son grown up. Also there ar such fine actors and actresses a c. Aubrey Smith, Dame May Whitty, Gladys Cooper and Ellz- abeth Taylor.

eral years ago, it was explained. Be-
ing without funds, the university
employed her at various jobs in or
der to enable her to earn her tuition
and expenses. She was paid $75 a
month while working on the COM

the most important native group in
Liberia.
Becoming obscessed with the idea
that she was being wronged, Prin-
cess Massaquai wrote numerous
prominent people, foundations and

She was granted an injunction CIV
