PhiIlies Get
Left Handlers

Two of the most promising
left handlers who operated in
the minor leagues last season
will be among the impressive
group of young players who
will make an appearance at the
Phillies' training camp at Clear
water, Fla. next March.
One of these, Curt Simmons,
already has notched a major
league triumph. He recorded
this the final day of the past
season when he won a 3 to l
decision from the Giants, giving
up only five hits and striking
out nine. That was his big lea
que bow.
Dick Koecher is the other
portside prospect, Dick is an
alumnus of Temple U and a
native Philadelphian. He was
with the Phillies last spring and
was given a number of pitching
hints by Herb Pennock, the
Phillies' general manager and
one of the greatest left handed

Bodfmen

Boatmen are an optimistic lott
They will tell YOU about the
pleasure they get out of their
vessel, be it luxurious yacht
or simply little cockleshell
pushed around by the smallest
of outboards.
This carefree lot of men and
women are undiscouraged by
the work their hobby involves.
And there's plenty or work to
keep a vessel in running condi-
tion-not to mention the ma
yuma it takes to keep up with
the Jones on the 38-foot ma
hogany cruiser.
When a fellow has trouble
with the powerplant or has to
put a couple of new planks in
the bottom he is wont to ask:
"Who called these things pleas
ure cruisers?"
But don't say anything dero-
gdtOry ABOUT MS boat. Ihat
next to being sacrilegious. If
you want to become a fellow
who is a friend to the boatman,
then go up to him while he's
full of paint and his brow is
dripping perspiration.
Pass the time of day and
then casually mention that his
boat business is a lucrative one
to the boatyards.
All because a fellow known as
j. P. Morgan passed saying on
through the ages that eff you
have to worry about the cost
of a yacht, you shouldn't own
one" OF course he didn't men
ton the spring cleaning and
the gallons of paint some of
the boys smear on with their
own hands.

Since the past season ended
the Pittsburgh Pirates have
made quite a number OF
changse on their roster. Two
of the new players over whom
they are highly enthusiastic
are Ed die Fitzgerald, a
catcher, and Bob Chesnes, a
pitcher.
The acquisition of this
pair, from Coast League
teams, represents one of the
biggest investments eve r
made by big league club for
minor leaguers. But the Pi-
rates are confident that it is
money well spent. Both OF
these players have made big
strides since entering pro ball.

love is about all. He was no COM
poser to think up sad songs for his
heroes and heroines to sing. He kept
nobody guessing whether the ending
would be happy. He assumed that

The old Montgomery and Stone
roles-at least it is the suppoSition
of one who was not there-are
played now by Jack Whiting and
Buster West. AS the two Americans
bent ON rescuing the Dutch hurgo-
masters daughter from a distaste-
full marriage, they are in nowise
1906ish. They accept slapstick as
something that can be translated
into whatever idiom a comedian has
handy. In consequence, they sue
ceed in avoiding the doleful spec
tacle of ancient comedy cutting a
caper. 1t is neat compromise they
work out to keep in character with
out getting out of this century.
THE Red Mill" unless its dimen-
sions have been increased over those
of the original, shows that modern
Hollywood had little on 1906 with
respect to size and color of musical
exhibits. 1t Is beautifully dressed
production, its girls Dutchly deco
rated, its heroes Graustarkianly
grand.
1t is at its visual best, as operettas
are, when the stage is filled with
dancing lads and lasses. This, hap
PLY, is quite frequent and, with
nothing Of social significance on her
mind, Choreographer Aida Broad

This Red Mill" is only in one way

out of 1905. But it is also true that
it is played with just enough OF a
