Still in a daze the hero of the occasion crossed Hollywood Boulevard and caught a street car to Beverly Hills, where he had parked his bicycle. Hollywood's $ newest sensation is still earning considerably less than many an of flee clerk.
 It's a strange town-and one of its strangest sights is a lanky ne- gro, about 25 years old and at least six feet, six inches tall, who parades the. Boulevard every afternoon in a cowboy costume even more color full than those worn by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. The first few times I saw him, as he teetered along in his high-heeled boots his purple silk shirt, his ten-gallon hat and his two ivory handled six guns, I concluded that he was just another movie extra, but a friend of mine who does the casting for Monographs westerns tells me that, to his knowledge, he's never worked in pictures. His opinion is that the man is merely an eXtrovert who likes to bask in the stars of the crowd. Probably he's right, for I noticed, when last I saw him, that the two big six-guns are really de luxe cap pistols!
 Touring the Enterprise studio one afternoon last week, I stepped on the sound stage where Arch of Triumph" is being filmed and was instantly greeted by a chorus of 'shushs."

HOLLYWOOD, August 12-Cur- rently playing American theaters is a two-reel propaganda" picture, entitled Don't Be Sucker" Made by the U. S. Government during the war, and now released for the ater audiences by Paramount, it exposes the inherent viciousness of Fascism and the psychological ruses by which such rabble-rousers as the late, unlamented Adolph Hitler and Benito MusSolini seek to impose their political poison on their un- suspecting fellow citizens.
 It's grand little picture-one that every American should see- but it doesn't go far enough. It strips the veneer most effectively from hideous threat that we've already battled and downed; but it deals not at all with the even more dangerous threat of Communism which we still have to battle and down if our free American institu- tions are going to survive.
 I'd like to see a few of our Hol- lyWood producers rouse themselves to the new threat and muster enough courage to blast it as ef- fectively as this little picture, Don't Be A Sucker" attacks Fascism. By so doing, they might also restore bit of badly needed public con- fidence in the movie industry, which is being revealed, more con- yincingly every day. as a hot bed of Communism. The fact is that the great majority of movie workers, in all branches of the industry, are as loyal to our American system as anyone could be, but their loyalty is being obscured by the red flag Wav- ing of the Commies and their hard ly less dangerous fellow travellers, all of whom labor constantly to in- ject their doctrines into movies.

Now playing at the Loew-Poli is the gay technicolor musical, Cen tennial Summer" with Jerome Kern's music and starring Jeanne Grain, Cornel Wilde, Linda Darnell, William Eythe, Constance Bennett, Walter Brennan and Dorothy Gish. On the same program is the my stery, 'Deadline For Murder" with Paul Kelly, Kent Taylor and Shield Ryan.
 Starting Wednesday is Bernard ShaW's Caesar and Cleopatra" starring Vivien Leigh (of Gone With the Wind" fame) and Claude Rains in a spectacular film of one of history's famous love affairs AL most from the time the motive pie ture industry had its inception, the legend grew that the great works of Shaw would never reach the screen. Never, that is, until Shaw died and his works passed into the public domain; until Shaw no longer was present to jab his satirical pen and his artistic hand into the me- chanics of cinema production.
 But legend died when Shaw met Pascal, The first results of this meeting were two outstanding film successes: "Pygmaion" in 1888, which starred Leslie Howard and Wendy Hitler, and Major Barbara in l94l, Caesar and Cleopatra" is the third and by far the most pre- tentious of the ShaW-Pascal pro- auctions. It was produced in Eng land and Egypt at cost of more than six million dollars.
 The subtle simplicity of ShaW's script is in amazing contrast to the lavishness of the giant sets, the spectacular costumes and lush ap- pointments of the technicolor film. The design and manufacture of cos tunes and settings alone required months of extensive research in Egyptology by large staff
 Also on the same program is the famous novel, The French Key brought to the screen starring AL bert Decker and Evelyn Ankers

After BULL CURRY defeated BULL
MONTANA in a boxing match that only
went to the 9Th round, Montana claimed
that he had enough and suggested they
merge their talents together.
They made a very good wrestling team,
and this was proven in their besting the
double threat of Tiger Tasker and The

Most fans lave the impression that it's
a "You win to-day and I'll win next week"
affair among the wrestlers. But must adj
nit regardless, it's a great entertainment
for the sport loving fans.

THE GRAND STAND MANAGERS:
By Sammy Joseph
Topics of Interest We All Should Know

The Detroit Baseball Fans are not only
Loyal; They persist in helping Oniell run
the ball club.
Take for example, last weeks series
with the Washington Senators. The game
started on an even basis and proceeded
along evenly until the opposition started
a rally. 1t was then that the Stand Mgrs-
started their tactics.
One fellow remarked, "Ain't this team
got nobody running the club?" And when
Overmire finally retired the side, another
fan remarked bluntly, "Pick up your glove.
that's all for you" This, of course the ma
tural outcome. since it seemed Overmire
was not too effective in this particular as
signment.
Some applauded. others hood and still
insisted that O'Niell had waited too long
Strutting from the Centerfield bul'pen,
came an old favorite of the Tiger fans, the
little old master, Tommy Bridges.
Although his curve was still effective
and breaking wonderfully, the trio of
Heath, Lewis and Spence greeted Tommy
with q barrage of hits.
Again, echoes from the crowd, "Take
Him OUT. "He hasn't got what it takes"
Too bad some of those fans weren't a,
round when Tommy was in his prime.
Behind me a little woman yelled, "Put
in Gentry" I made an attempt to remind
her that he is now with Buffalo, but seeing
a sizeable gentleman at her right, I con-
tinued watching the game.
Then to my shocking ears, came a SCUM
ding hail of boos, when Mgr. O'Neill final
ly came out and retired Bridges from the
mound.
The next Tiger pitcher was worthy Geo.
Caster though he also fell before the
literary Senators.
This evidently was too much for the
Stand Mgrs. They Immediately began low
ling for a pinch hitter when Caster came
to bat, wanting Manders, White and a few
others to be given their chances.
Not realizing of course that this game
was fully lost and O'Neill was pointing
ahead for the big series with Boston and
naturally not wanting to use up all avail
able players.
This being sound Baseball management,
you couldn't expect the Amateur Grand
stand Managers to understand.
Although in every park and witnessing
every game there will always be bench
Jockeys, this was just a wee bit too much,
in my estimation!

PETERSEN CLASSIC ENDS
"Jinx it, the Truth"

$ JluN lIt Tx pf .tF,. r.
For the 9Th time the honor of winning
the Petersen Classic; has eluded Harold
Asplund of Denver, Colo, on each occa-
sion he held till the last night, only to be
beaten out of LIST place. This time by To-
ny Sparando of Hampstead, N. Y. who
also is the Doubles partner of Andy Vari'
papa.
Andy, himself didn't fare so well, bow
ling on the same squad. Sparando rolled
81>255>237>2O4-2OO-234-243 to cinch
the So, 100000 and a diamond medal which
goes to the winner.
Tony with a few breaks on his sidelwas
really on the beam, his accuracy for the
pocket was superb.
After the 9Th game he needed 415 in
the two remaining games to take LIST place.
The result of a strong finish, gave him
a grand total of 1893. Incidentally, but for
a tap on his last ball, he would have had
a 1900 series.
Closely behind Sparando all evening on
the final squad was Therman Gibson, who
couldn't get any breaks, although showing
the best bowling of any Detroiter during
the Classic.
Gibbie rolled 174O for 3rd place and
81 100000, which is a very respectable TO.
tai in any competition Harold Asplund
was End with 1772 for the 100000 Sc
cond place money.
In the 2 in 1 Petersen tourney at Olym'
pic, Joe Norris of Detroit, who was leading
the event until the last day, when Eddie
Kawolics of Cleveland had a high game OF
PIT in rolling 1926 for the four game stint,
and dropped Norris to End place.
Yes Sir! The out of town bowlers really
showed the Home Towners a thing or too,
in the art of bowling.
The spectators were thrilled with some
fine exhibitions of pin spilling by some of
the outstanding bowlers in the country.
That Snowman Andy Varipapa, and such
notables as Defayio, Flesch of San Fran.
sico, Maricich of Chicago and National
Match game champion Joe Wilman were

want to cross alleys with any of them.

SPRING CLEANING

Lend an ear "husbands'' I've a story to tell
Spring cleaning is the reason, I'm not
well,
The wife is chatting with the lady down
stairs
While I'm upstairs painting four kitchen
chairs.
When she came up and asked what | did?
1t made me feel like a little kid,
"Please don't scold me, dear, I'm working
hard"
''The paint I've mixed with a pound of
ard"
"Where did you learn how to mix paint?".
"Throw that mixture out before | faint
"Watch me mix it as it should be-"
"To learn how to paint, just watch me"
Meekly I watched her mix this and that,
For mixing the paint she was using my hat,
Darling" I said, "that's my hat you're
using"
"What hat she said "and who are you
accusing?.
Don't stand there %loafing, go varnish the
floors"
''The window frames too, and don't forget
the doors ;"
eyes, darling "but we haven't got a can
"Well get one, aren't you the handy man?"
'Since you're out, you can beat the rugs"
make sure you beat out all the bugs"
"Pick up some groceries, on your way
back,
They've got potatoes all packed in a sack"
At last I'll be alone for a little while,
Now maybe | can force a smile.
The husbands should organize and protect
each other,
hen the wives would go back to their
mothers.
Spring cleaning time should be a legal
holiday,
We husbands should be many mile away.
Let the women do their own spring
cleaning,
l guess you, husbands, know what I'm
meaning! 4

ANOTHER CEHRIC?

My hat is off to one particular rookie
of the Tiger squad, ANSE MOORE. He
had to show but once, why the tigers have
kept him in the majors. He riminds you
of the late Lou Gehrig in his batting
stance, and his swing is almost identical.
His clouts are consistently solid ones,
and when a rookie can enter the lineup
and begin hitting the ball as squarly as
Anse has been doing, you can expect to
ly added member to the Detroit roster.

At third, George Kurowski, (.282) and Fry (Four Sack) Dusak (.245) of the Cards comprise a slightly better combine than vet erans Cookie Lavagetto (234) and Augie Galan (.3OD of the Dodgers.
 Catchers Still Young
 The catching department finds neither team too well equipped. The Cards operate with Veteran Clyde Klutz (.29D and Rockies Del Rice (.276) and Joe Garagiola (.223), while Brooklyn is getting along fairly well with youngsters Bruce Edwards (.245) and Terrell Anderson (255).
 Pitching is paradox since that is supposed to be the Cardinal long suit, yet only Howie Pollet (18-8 and Murry Dickson Q2-5 of the regular starters are above 500. Moreoverd, Dickson hasn't gone well lately and has had his spot taken over by returning service man George Munger (2-O. The other Card regulars, Alpha Brazle at QO-10) and Harry Brecheen Q2- 13) aren't too dependable and Johnny Beazley (7-O is little bet ter than spot pitcher. The Car dinal relief artists, Ted Wilks (6-0) and Ken Burkhart (6-O have 'tis- sure paper" records which have been wrapped up for days. Burkhart pitched his last win on Aug.
