PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 23.-
Manager Bill McKechnie of the
Cincinnati Reds and the club he
led for nine years were at the part
ing of the ways today, but the
quiet-spoken. silver haired baseball

ference with General Manager
Warren Giles.
McKechnie broke the news to his
players yesterday, when they
clanked into the visitors clubhouse
after taking both ends of double
header from the Pirates.
Baseball is a hard game. and
situations like this are part of it."
McKechnie said in statement
which made it clear he has no in
tention of leaving the sport in
which he has sparkled as manager
for "a years.
Il left with a mutual understand
ing" he added, "and with the
friendliest feelings for both Mr..
Giles and Mr.. (PowelD Crosley
jr. (the Reds PRESIDENT"
At Cincinnati, Giles said after
discussing the matter fully with Mr.
Crosley and Bill McKechnie we con-
cluded change in manager would
be in the best interests of ALL" Giles
said the pilot would come to Gin
cinnati today instead of accompany
ing the team to st. Louis and
added: HE gave me to understand
he would continue as manager
through this season"
First name to pop up as possible
successor was that of Terry Moore,
st. Louis Cardinal outfielder.

100000 Mark for Charity

If you were among the 81 $50 fans
who saw the Redskins beaten by

it may help to know that you con-
tributed to the largest chunk of
spending money ever taken in at

audited, but Carter Barron of
Washington's Variety Club had
hopes of raising at least $4,000
each for Washington and Baltimore

close to that figure.

out to put the game over, really
earned their letters. George Halas
OF the Bears and George Marshall
of the Redskins, who could have
picked up more money promoting
the game themselves, were de-
lighted by the response and glad to
take the short end.

 The fun reaches its climax as Kit is put in jail in New Mexico when she signs a check with her real name, after a premature news story had appeared announcing her arriv- al in Hollywood.

HOLLYWOOD, July l0-In re- cent trade paper appeared a para graph that excites my wonder. It read: "It seems likely that filming of Arch of Triumph" will be a hidden secret even from studios own publicity department. Order was put out yesterday that sets will be closed to both praisers and the press. Demand for the closed set is understood to have resulted from desire for privacy for Ingrid Berg man."
 Being reasonably sure that Pro- ducer Charlie Enfield, one of the smartest publicists in show business, never volunteered such an order, I can only conclude that Ingrid Berg man is responsible. And that conclu- sion leaves me baffled.
 Since her first arrival, Miss Berg man has been the idol of the Holly wood press, both because of her great talent and because of her friendly, down. n-to-earth personality. No other star in screen history has been so consistently eulogized by the typeWritting brigade To the best of my belief, not one deroga- tory word has ever been written about her; neither has she been subjected to the kind of publicity that would tend to make her tar get for off-screen annoyances. Her dignity and her convenience have been respected at all times.
 I believe that Miss Bergman is being victimized by bad advice, if followed much longer, is going to cost her lot of friends-the kind of friends who as individuals may mean little to her career, but who, In the aggregate, are extremely important to her. She's out of character in this new Garbo role. It's conceivable that her advisor, whoever he may be, has something to gain by casting her in it, but she, herself, can only lose.
