New York, April 19-(UP)-Thir- ty-one-year-old Bob Joyce of the New York Giants had the answer today to a seven-year question:,
 Joyce failed his first major league test back in 1e5e with the Philadel- pllia Athletics. But he came back to the majors successfully at the Polo Grounds yesterday by beating the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-2, with seven hitter.
 'STake 1t easy and don't let any- thing ruffle you," the handsome tosser from Stockton, Calf, said happily as he showered in the gloomy dressing room. That's all 1t takes"
 It was the answer Bob had sought ever since he flunked out with the As back in the days when he was trying to overpower the hitters with mediocre fast ball. They knocked 1t down his throat, and belted him back to Memphis.
 They didn't convince him, how ever, that he didn't belong in the Majors and while he continued to wonder why he failed Bob came up with @ slider. But he also stopped worrying and the combination made him one of the best in the Pacific Coast League with the San Fran cisco Seals.
 T won % games in 1o42, 20 in 1943 and 2l in 1914" Joyce recalled, land I was wondering more and more what 1t took to at least get another crack at the majors
 After last year, though, they had to look at him again. For in 1945 the husky right-handed six-footer won 3l games against only II de- feats. His PIT earned run average was the best in the Coast loop and he was voted the leagues most valuable player. That's when the Giants became interested.
 The tension was on for him yes- terday as he went against the re-. juvenated Phillies. This was 1t and the PhilS made 1t plenty interesting, Tn the second inning there were two on and none out. They got three hits and @ run with one away in the fifth and Rollie Hemsley tripled home 8 walk with one on in the seventh.
 Through these tight spots, Joyce appeared to be the most uncon- cerned guy in the ball park. Twice old Ernie Lombardi started out to steady him but Bob simply grinned him away, hitched up his pants and threw that slider at them.

STRAND

From the standpoint of simon pure entertainment, 1t would be hard to excel Swing Parade of l946," the colorful Monogram muSi- cal film which opehed an engage ment at the Strand Theater last night.
 The cast of stars IS especially noteworthy, including Gale Storm, Phil Began, The Three Stooges, Connee Boswell, Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five, and VIII Os- borne's orchestra.
 There are lifting songs by Miss Storm, Began, Miss Boswell, Jor- dan. Osborne and Mary Treen; up- roarious comedy by the Three Stoog. es and Edward s. Brophy; dances by Miss Storm, Jack Boyle (darlce director of the film) and a highly accomplished group of girls who display of skill and pulchritude in equal proportions. Other members of the scintillating cast are Russell Hicks, Windy Cook, John Eldredge and Leon Belasco. Much of the pie IuES . hCG1O4A IuhSo PAoSS AAA V 6eJ night club, and full advantage Is taken of the opportunity to stage a yeritable whiz-b bang of floor show.
 The story concerns the vain ef- forts of @ rich man to prevent his son, Began, from going into the night-cluh business, and brings Miss storm on the scene as pro- cess server, to remain through dif- faculties and misunderStandingS to become the star of the show.
 Phil Karlson has directed Swing Parade of i946" with skillful hand, and the production by Lind siey Parsons and Harry A. Romfn Is richly mounted. Edward Kay was musical director of the film, which was photographed by Harry Neumann, and the original story by Edward Kelso was adapted for the screen by Tim Ryan, with ad' ditional dialogue by Nicholas Ray.
 The companion feature Is Fear featuring Warren William ana Pet- CT Cookson.

Not since the early Wallace Beery- Jackie Cooper pictures has as delightful a team been seen on the Loew-Poli theater screen as that now being presented in the new MGM outlaw drama, Bad BaS- comb" co-starring Wallace Beery and little Margaret O'Brien.
 Both the veteran Beery and the tiny child actress have tailor-made roles in this compelling story of a two-gun bandit sought by the con- stabulary of three states, who meets his match in the love of an orphan travelling across Wyoming with a caravan of MorTnonS.
 It is with this caravan that Feb BaScomb (1eery) and his fellow. bandit, Bart Yancey c. Carol Naish), try to hide their Identities when they find themselves pursued by a posse after attempting to hold up @ bank. Since 1t isf a rule that every man of the caravan must help and protectt he women with out menfold, BaScomb finds him- self in the amusing process of be- ing domesticated by the henpeck- ing Abbey Tanks, played by Mar jorie Main, and her lobahle grand- daughter, Emmy, Margaret O'Brien.
 Beery is his usual master of the Bad Man role, with little Miss o. Brien completely appealing and cap- tivating as the youngster who is un- impressed by his toughness. This picture was filmed in the Jackson Hole country of wyoming, last stronghold of the old West,

HOLLYWOOD, April lS-DEAR STAFF: Someday, when you are loafing around the office in your usual do-nothing fashion, I wish you'd turn the searchlight of your wisdom on Q question that bothers me:Why does almost every Alneri- can ballet dancer feel obliged to assume Russian name?
 Take the case of Ivan Kirov," brought to Hollywood by Ben Hecht for Spectre of the Rose" and now signed by David o. Selznick for Little Women" Behind that Rus- sian alias turks a 100 percent Am- erican named Johnny Kaye who, 8 few years ago, was breaking back Stroge records as member of the UCLA swimming team. Why in tar- nation should kid with 6 good, respectable name like Kaye want to become Q bogus Russian named Ki- roy. Or why should scores of others in the same leap-and-swirl profess sion insist on trading names like Smith and Jones for monikers end- ing with witch" and "ski7"
 The ballet is one of the fine arts of the theater. True, 1t Is c Russian background, but during the past fifty years, America has adopted 1t and popularized 1t. American ballet masters are originating many of It's most outstanding and ar- tistic numbers; American musicians are composing much of its best music; American dancers are now among It's greatest opponents.
 When Kaye becomes e Kirov or an English girl named Alice Marks becomes 6 MarkoVa, the pulp lie delusion that ballet is still an exclusively Russian art is strength ened. I think it's bad practice. Since ballet 1t one of the fine arts, 1t Is something to boast about. Every country Is contributing to it should be entitled to Q fair share of credit.

 state; but of particular interest was the news of the states plans, now already started, to provide about 1,50O feet of the Blackledge River for the use of disabled veterans. This information coincided with and was supplementary to your writer's last writing in which an appeal was made for the contribut- ton of fishing equipment for these same disabled veterans.
 This area, which is immediately south of Route No. 2 in the town of Marlborough, has been set aside by the State Board of Fisheries and Game for the use of disabled vet erans. It provides ten stationary fishing positions and can accommo- date five additional walking ang- lers. A driveway and parking area have been provided as well as gravel paths to the stream where benches will make 1t possible for a handi- capped man to fish. There is also a ramp for wheel chair cases.
 This area will be open and will be supervised from g a. m. to 5 p. m. A small tackle house has been in- stalled and a instructor will be in charge of distributing tackle which will be available for the use of the fisherman. Angling licenses will be required except of those men who have not as yet re- ceived their discharge. The Fish and Game Department provides the area and the supervision and will stock this section of the stream with brook, brown, and rainbow trout which may be taken with flies or bait. Instruction in fly casting will be given by the patrolman.
 With regard to the percentage of disability of veterans to be admit ted to this area, the committee has recommended that the Service Of- ficerS of the various posts be asked to issue the passes to those men whom they regard as handicapped to such an extent that they would be unable to Ash satisfactorily without the aid and supervision. A pass form will be furnished by the State Board of Fisheries and Game for issuance by the Service or Re- mobilization Officer of each post of these and other service organiza- tionS. The pass will bear the name of the veteran and will be counter signed by the issuing officer. The pass is good for the day issued and must be left with the patrolman at the stream.
 Drinking water will be provided on the area but there are no facili- ties for the purchase of food or other refreshment.
 The committee has recommended that survey be made to determine the number of disabled veterans who would be interested in making use of this fishing area on the Blackledge River and also the num- Der of disabled veterans who will be unable to use this area on &C., count of it's distance but would be interested in similar facility at a more convenient location. Ques- tionnaires have been sent to the headquarters of all service organl- zations for distribution to the posts to determine the demand for special fishing waters for disabled veterans.
 Lyle Thorpe, aquatic biologist for the Connecticut State Board of Fisheries and Game, who originated the plans for the area states, This is an experiment toward providing recreational fishing for seriously disabled veterans. If the demand appears to be great We may be able to provide similar areas in other sections of the state"

 "Yeh, but that slider wasn't bad either" Lombardi interrupted.
 Young Mike Budnick, who pitched against Joyce in the Coast League, stepped into the conversation then.
 T used to think I had Q slider, " he said, "but I'll take my hat off to Bob's. When l was with Seattle he beat me with 1t in Q long, extra inning game. It's one of the best l ever saw"
 Through his praise from veteran and rookie alike, Joyce was just as cool aS he was when base run- ners were juggling around behind him trying to rattle him into Q one-way ticket to California.
 Don't let them kid you," he said, "the club played good steady ball behind me.
 But he did admit, as he finished dressing, that all afternoon he had felt as cool and confident as a guy sitting pat with 6 royal flush.
