Sox Need
 ButThree

Boston, Sept. 7-(UP)-Only three victories stood today between the power-laden Red Sox and Boston's first baseball pennant since 1918.
 Any combination of three Boston wins or three Yankee losses will cinch the American League flag fol millionaire-oWner Tom Yawkey anc his Fenway crew. But manager Jot Cronin said there would be no let up in the Sox steamroller drive un. til the pennant is signed, sealed and delivered. To prove it, Cronin will send mound ace Boo Ferriss after his 18th win of the season in to- days game at Philadelphia
 The Sox batting artillery which has showed under all American League rivals throughout the past season was conspicuously silent last night as Washington's Bobo Newsom dealt the Croninmen an Il inning 3-2 defeat.
 Newsom outlasted Mickey Harris who started for the Sox and was lifted in the ninth for Bob Klinger Klinger had difficulty finding the plate and was relieved by Earl John- son who was on the mound when George Metkovitch tripped and fell in the final inning allowing Stan Spence's high fly to land safely and send home Buddy Lewis with the winning tally.

National Amateur Tennis Champ Upset by War Vet

Forest Hill, N. Y, Sept. ' -(UP) The most amazed man left in the National Amateur Tennis Cham pionships today was an unheralded war veteran who was born in the District of Columbia, raised in Cali fornia, finally got his tennis legs III England and exhibited them unex- pectedly at Forest Hills.
 The much and unbeliev- ing young man Of 8 is Tom Brown Jr., of San Francisco, who still quite can't conceive the fact that he knocked off defending Cham pion Frankie Parker.
 Tom, one of those towering youngsters they are raising on the California tennis courts despite the fact that he is an adopted son, was @ bit awed by it all. Gulping two glasses of orangeade after his five set upset, he had blank look on his face as hordes of unknown peo- pie pounded his back wrung his hand and congratulated him.

BoboOffers Ted Advice

Washington, Sept. 7-(UP)-Ted Williams, temperamental Boston Red Sox slugger, left town today with an earful of advice on how to win friends, though booed.
 The advice was offered gratuit- ously by fun loving Bobo Newsom in an extraordinary bit of backstage baseball drama a half hour before Newsom went out and pitched Washington to 3-2 victory over Williams and his teammates last night.
 The scene was the Boston dress i1ig room, where Williams sat on the rubbing table chatting with a handful of baseball writer's In barged clustering Bobo, whose clowning has brought him the num- Der one baseball popularity rating in Washington.
 Special Mission
 Newsome was on a special mis- sion. He had heard that fans in Boston and other American League cities were booing Williams again because his home run output had dwindled. He had heard, too, that thin skinned Ted was reacting petulantly to the heckling of the grandStand wolves.
 Bobo sat himself opposite Will Hams. He was playing & straight part now. No clowning.
 Ted" Newsom said in fatherly manner, "I'd like to tell you how wrong you are when you answer back people who get on you. Why don't you cut out that crazy stuff ike kicking your glove and answer ing them back You're dead wrong
 "Aw nuts" William countered. Baseball fans are all alike. They cheer you when you do something good and boo you when you make a mistake"
 Bigger Than Ruth
 But" Newsom insisted, you gotta remember that most of the people come out to see you. Young fellow, you're a bigger man than Babe Ruth was in his heyday"
 Heck I am," Williams argued.
 "Durned if you aren't" Bobo said. "The Babe was famous just for that long ball he hit. But every move you make is colorful.'
 Then Bobo drove home the prin- cipal point of his lesson-"If you only tip your hat to the customers and stop cussing them back there's no telling how great and popular you'd be-"
 That's the bunk" Williams re- plied, When the day comes when can't hit one out of the park any, more, they'll boo me out of the park. Name me somebody who's been helped by this popularity stuff"
 That's all Newsom needed.
 Brother" he said, you're look ing at one right now. I had losing years last year and the year before but I got raises both years. Why? Because the crowd gets kick out of me. They laugh, they boo and they cheer. I just take it all in stride. Think it over. I wish I had your ability and so do a lot of other ball players"
 T won't say you're dead wrong and won't say you're right" Will Hams said "I just can't be that way. Just not my nature"
 LAW, come on," Newsom urged. Why don't you try"
 With that, Bobo returned to the Washington dressing room, got in to uniform and went out before 27,O0O booing and cheering fans and showed Williams how it's done.

n mutt BdriSH uCtlOn on the femme
fatale theme you have not run
across since Hollywood first UNDER
took to show that the female could
be a mighty poisonous sex.
In making Leave Her to Heaven"
with an expensive cast and a wrap
ping that must make the stock
holders vince, Goth Century Fox was
not without some assurance that
there was market for heroine as
fabulous as this Ellen. AS a popular
magazine serial and subsequently, in
novel form, Ellen was a villainess of
enormous appeal. Her wickedness
left a large public spellbound in
stead of merely curious as to why
she was not bundled off to the near
est strait jacket and a whole bevy
OF pSycalatristS. AS a movie, 1t no
doubt will do the same, but that will
not change a minority opinion that
Ellen is not merely a fiction, but a
fantastic fake.
AS screen shockers 60, the Palaces
new picture is manifestly out to
break all records. In Ellen Berent, a
beautiful female who would look
fascinating carved on a fountain in
the public gardens, it asks you to
accept a girl:
l. With father fixation that be-
comes madly fixed when she scatters
his ashes on top of a wild, lonely
mountain.
2. Who absorbs an upright young
author in marriage as a sort of sub
stitute for the man whose remains
she had just strewn to the moorland
breezeS.
3. Who allows the invalid brother
Of the innocent young husband to
die merely because his presence Is
a nuisance to her.
4. Who torments her beautiful
foster sister across the threshold of
heartbreak.
5. Who deliberately kills her un-
born child in frenzy of fear that
it Is spelling her figure and making
her romantically unattractive to her
husband.
6. Who finally commits suicide
and plots the thing so diabolically
cleverly that 1t looks like a mur-
der committed by the foster sister,
with whom the husband seems logi-
cally but unknowingly in love.
You can see that Miss Tierney
In the role of the wretchedly way
ward Ellen is the busiest demon
ever released in front of a Techni-
color camera. There is no question
that she is in there trying every
second to find the writhing emo
tional essence of the character. The
quality Is so elusive, or repugnant,
however, that the effort is vain.
The unvarnished fact is that you
get as tired of Ellen as Miss Tierney
must have been at the end of play
ing her.
1t was no doubt with the idea of
providing contrast for Ellens dark
internal torment that Leave Her
to Heaven" Is done in the most BIZ

zarre Technicolor a studio ever laid
its hands on. It's settings are pri-
marily three luxurious woodland or
shore retreats, hacienda in New
Mexico, lodge in Maine and a pal
ace by the sea up in the Bar Har-
Dor area. These are physical sur
roundings that should take the petu-
lance out of any girl, but they only
drive Ellen the more deeply into
her murderous Sulks. Neither is
there any relief for her torture in a
wardrobe which, from bathing suits
to formals, cost enough to clothe
small state in war-ravaged Europe.
In dealing with mental diseases
heretofore, it has been Hollywood's
practice to stick to somber black and
white photography and, for dra-
matte effect, there will be many who
insist 1t is better for the purpose.
Miss Tierney, Wilde, Jeanne Grain
and the scad of other costly players
in Leave Her to Heaven" are OBJ
viously under John Stahls direction
to proceed slowly in showing what
an evil dame Ellen was. The pace
of the picture, therefore, has a sharp
tendency to become exasperatingly
slow from Wilde's reluctant court
ship OF Ellen to his revelation of
what a demon she was in the court
room scene that provides the pic
lures climax. The excitement ofl
the story has hit its high point well
before that time, probably in the
scene in which the husbands in
valid brother is allowed to drown
with Ellen looking on.

Behind movie headlines:
Ann Sheridan, back on the Warner
lot for the first time in year, found
many changes in the feminine line
up there. Joan Crawford, Lauren
Bacall and Ann Blythe have all been
developed as fresh competition to the
one-time oomph girl, who elected to
stay away as a protest over the type
OF parts she had been getting. She'll
start work at once on "The Sen
tence," which, in line with just about
rs per cent of the current HOLLYWOOD
plots, Is psychological drama, fea-
turing mystery. suspense and weird
turns.
Bette Davis will be back at War
ner's, too, in another 10 days or so,
but before leaving the East with her
new husband, William Sherry, she'll
stage party for the New York press,
especially designed to counteract the
bad West Coast publicity she pro-
voked just before her wedding. Be-
cause she wanted to keep her plans
secret until the last moment, Bette

cooperative of film stars-assimi-
lated some of the nastiest of gossip
