WACKY COMEDY
 IS FEATURE BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

With it's theme both timely and funy, Warner Bros newest comedy Make Your Own Bed" now show ing at the 20th Century, has a tri- umvirate to energetic funsters, Jack Carson, Jane Wyman and Irene Manning. The results make one of the wackiest efforts of the season.
 For a rough idea of what is meant by ''wacky" Jack Carson, for ex- ample, plays the role of an ineffec- tual detective with driving desire for self-support so it is hardly sur prising to find him donning a but lers uniform to accomplish this end or is it? His eXasperated and sorely tried sweetheart is pert Jane Wyman. And Irene Manning, lovely singing star of The Desert Song" comedienne.
 A superlative supporting cast in- cludes Alan Hale as MT. Whirtle, Irene Manning's long suffering hus- bank who can't be blamed for not quite understanding his dizzy mate; George Tobias as Boris Murphy neighbor extraordinary with flair for Victory Gardens and squirtless tomatoes; and Robert Shayne as Carsons thoroughly lex" ex-boSs.

''5EvENTH GROSS" SHOWING NOW AS
 CAPITOL FEATURE

A great star, in great story, bas- ed on a great novel!
 That's the new Spencer Tracy film, "The Seventh Cross" adapted from Anna Seghers' celebrated book and brought to the Capitol Theatre yesterday by tro-Goldwyn Mayer to thrilled audiences.
 The Seventh Cross, story of seven who escaped a Nazi concentration camp, and particularly of George Heisler played by MT. Tracy is one of the most dramatic offerings in many, many months.
 It features a superb cast including Signe Hasso, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Felix Bressart and many other outstanding performers.
 The Seventh Cross" tells of the successful escape of seven fugitives from a concentration camp in the fall of 1886, when, although wal had not yet begun, such camps were fast filling with German citizens who rejected the Nazi creed
 George Heisler, in the beginning an embittered man, learns the true meaning of life and humanity as he makes his way slowly, painfully but surely to freedom-and to repay the debt he owes to those who healed him.

Mueller Faces
 Dolphin SIuggers Saturday Niqht

It will be Warren Mueller vs Randy Gumpert when the Brasscos meet the Coast Guard Dolphins in the second night game of the sea- son at Municipal Stadium Saturday. The contest brings together two former Eastern Leaguers; Gumpert hurled for Williamsport before join- ing the Athletics, and Mueller toiled at Hartford last season where he won 18 games for the champions. Gumpert has been in the Coast Guard two years.
 The new lighting system was tried out Thursday night and met the ap- proval of Manager Fred Davi, Power Company and Park Department officials. It eliminates the many in- terruptions which marred the games last season when a portable lighting system aboard truck supplied the juice for the arc lights.
 Four Sluggers
 The Dolphins will have the honor of being the first visiting team to play under the new set-up. Most of the members of the Guards are former major and minor league players and have had considerable experience in games after dark. The club is headed by quartet of slug gers in First Baseman Norm Jaeger, Second Baseman Al Cuccinello and Outflelders Jimmy Woods and Joe Walsh. It will be Mueller's job to try and beat the Dolphins and extend the Brassco's winning streak to seven games.

 U. s. TITLES
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff Correspond

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 2e-(UP)-The have -nots" of the track and field world, the star athletes who never have won 8 national title, opened the two-day National AAU cham pionships at Randalls Island today with about 300 performers shooting for junior honors.
 Despite the fact that there were no National AAU, Olympic, IC4A or NCAA champions in the field, the juniors were packed with power and creditable marks were expected. There were dozen scholastic run ners in the q events, many of whom had better records this year than their college rivals.
 Heading this contingent were Perry Samuels and August Erfurth, San Antonio, Tex, high school mar vels rated the ones to beat in the 100-meter dash and the 110-meter high hurdles respectively.
 Samuels has the best docking of the year for the century, 9.5 sec- ond sprint. But the kid from the southwest will have plenty of con- petition from such aces as Zane Moon, Kemmerer, Wyo., high school sensation who won the Rocky Moun- tain AAU title in 9.6; Tom Dickey, LSU's Southeastern Intercollegiate Conference champ; Bob Crowson, Missouri's Big Six king; Charles Beaudry, Marquette's Central col- legiate champion; Ed Brent, Los An- geles schoolboy star, and Bill Mathis of Washington, another high school speedster.
 Crowson, the Missouri freshman whose 21.4 is the years best time, drew the favorite's role in the 2O0- meters against the same band. The whole contingent is expected to go in Saturdays senior sprints. There they will face former champions Barney Ewell and Herb Thompson, Eulace Peacock, and Pvt. Charley Parker of Fort Benning, Ga, school boy meteor from Texas who last year won the junior 100 and senior 200 and had a record of 51 straight victories before entering the Army.
 The 800-meter field is headed by Floyd Cuff of the San Francisco Olympic club. His rivals include Steve Orfanedes, Canton, O., school boy; Henry Williams, Los Angeles; Carmen Bova, former Seton Hall and U. S. c. star; It. E. c. Ochsen- reiter of Pratt Field. Kans.
 A hot race 1oomed in the 1,50o- meters where Bova will match strides with undefeated Bob Um- stattd of the University of Texas; It. Bob Lehman of Hamilton Field, Calf; Bob Thomasen of Michigan: Bob Mitchell of Los Angeles and Bill Eppright of Camp Davis.
 Lined up against Erfurth in the 110-meter highs were Charley Nor gan of New Orleans, the Southern AAU champion; It. Harry March, New England AAU king, and Jack Raider of San Diego, who placed in both junior and senior timber topping events last year.
 Among the favorites in the other events were Joe Scott of Fl Monte Calf. in the 220-yard low hurdles; Claude McWilliams of San Fran cisco in the broad jump, and high Jumper Sylvester Bell of Los An geles.

NELSON MAN TO|
 BEAT AS PR0S|
 BEGIN GOLF PLAY
BY WALTER BYERS United Press Staff Correspondent

OAASCu NEcsS OtdII OOFIcspOHUcHs
 Chicago, June 2o-CUP)-It was the field against Byron Nelson again today as 42 of the nations top golf CTS teed off in the opening round of the $1o,00o victory national open at Calumet Country club.
 But Nelson, golfdom's leading money maker who has won 10 of the last IS major tournaments, fear ed no man as much as he feared the tricky greens on the 6,657-yard Ca lumet course.
 T just can't read those greens" he said. land unless I start getting better I might as well go home and read how McSpaden does it."
 Jug McSpaden, the Sanford, Me, putting artist and Neson,s most persistent rival, is defending cham pion in the open and the one entry given a good chance to beat Nelson. During the preliminary pro-lady, pro- amateur and pro-senior tour naments of the victory national, he fired blistering 67, five under par, to show his fondness for the course.
 McSpaden's gifted butter ordin- arily would make him a heavy fa- vorite to win his second straight championship except that Nelson shot hot 68 yesterday to take the pro-senior title. And although he professed that he had trouble on the greens even then, 1t is well known that the Toledo, O., mech anical man" is tough to beat when large purse is hanging in the balance.
 Long Grind
 The victory open, wartime suc- cessor to the famed national open, is made up of hand-picked field playing 72 holes of medal play, 18 today and tomorrow and 36 Sun day.
 Starters today included Johnny Bulla, Atlanta, Ga Craig Wood, Mamaroneck, N. Y, Joe Kirkwood, Philadelphia; Ralph Guldahl, Chi cago; Claude Harmon, Detroit; Bill Kaiser, Louisville and Sgt. Dutch Harrison, Wright Field, O., among the 33 professionals and Bob Coch- ran, St. Louis; Milford Wehrle, Racine, Wis, Frank Connolly De- troit and Jim F'risina, Springfield, among the nine amateurs.
 Nelson, in warming up yesterday, won the 36-hole pro-senior title with Chick Evans, Chicago, while McSpaden captured the pro-ama- teur with Sgt. Walter Burkemo, Evanston, and Ky Laffoon of Chi cago took the pro-lady with Babe Freese, Portland, Ore.
