It Is revealing as we'll as interest
ing to see the pictures people hang
in their homes. Ten private COL
lec6ors OF Washington, as well as
two institutions, have lent nearly 81
works bv modern Mexican artists to
the Pan American Union, to remain
on exhibition through September 81.
Presumably these are choices OF the
owners. since they are too recent 10
have been acquired by earlier gen.
erations and handed down. Some
are serene, others turbulent. There
are a few which I should think the
owners would keep packed away on
the top shelf of an attic storeroom,
if there is some reason why they
can't dispose of them. But most OF
the artists represented are now ia
NOUS names, which would account
for a modicum of tenderness toward
their most casual efforts.
But I hasten to add there are a
number of arresting works. Five
items by Diego Rivera give a varied
picture of his talent. Not hereto
fore publicly exhibited is a large oil
painting, landscape of France, owned
by DR.. Luis Quintanilla. 1t was done
in 1911, in pointilltst and impasto
technique, before Rivera returned to
Mexico and became leader. of the
revolutionary mural painters there.
I particularly liked Rivera's water
color, Pottery Seller" lent by Mrs.
Edith Random Bennett, with its re-
peated circles and curves, in yellow
and brown. Rivera s brown crayon
portrait of Frida (his wife), lent by
Clark Foreman, has naive appeal.

Contemporary Italians

Paintings, drawings and sculpture
by six contemporary Italian artists
composed the exhibition opening to-
day at Artists Cooperative. The
collection belongs to Felix M. Gen
tile of Washington, who assembled
it while serving with UNRRA in
Rome. Through his courtesy it will
remain on view through September
30.
A lifesize bronze head of Mr.. Cen
tile, done by Alcido Tico, and con-
sidered an excellent likeness, is one
of the best items. This sculptor'S
work in general received honor from
the King of Italy. Another ad-
bronze is horse by Bar
tolini, sculptor of the monument to
Victor Emmanuel.
Several delicate heads done In ink
on damp paper by Lenore Fini are
sensitive and appealing, with fash
ionable fragility akin to that OF
Vertes' drawings. In contrast to
these, are two vigorous drawings in
ink by Savelli, landscape and
figures, respectively.
Renso Vespignani, a young Roman
of Bohemian tendencies who enjoys
a considerable popularity, is repre-
sented by two paintings which hirt
of sardonic viewpoint. One is
dark and somber cityscape of tene-
ment buildings. the other derisive
capture of doWager in foolish
hat. BY De Pisis are several paint
ings, including still life and one
on wood of figure closely knit into
the background.
Two glazed tiles, one decorated
with modern version of Europa and
the bull, the other nude figure,
are amusing and fresh in color. The
artist is unknown.
Supplementing the Italian group
is a show of drawings by members
of the Cooperative.

The Picturesque Past
Beautiful old architecture of New
Orleans is the chief inspiration OF
Willie Reed Rowe in her solo ex-
hibition of etchings in the Division
of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian build
ing. through September %.
Her travels on behalf of her work
in this show have taken her as far
south as Taxco, Mexico, with a
glimpse of San Antonio. Tex, and
as far north as Boston, where she
etched Paul Revere's unique house.
But most of the etchings depict the
fine old houses of the Vieux Carre,
balconies of iron lace, doorways,
arches, courtyards and other archi-
tectural details.
Mrs. Rowe's introduction of incl
dental figures in some of these prints
is not entirely felicitous, as they are
out of proportion in some instances.
Her work is predominantly meticu-
lous and fine-lined. A few prints in
lift-ground etching are tonal in
character, resembling aquatints.
Louisiana Swamp" is one of the
most successful of these.

The commission last Thursday

Frank Small and H. Courtnay

still are banned by Civilian Produc-

That was real busman's holi-

trained all the time. He'd get out
and jog 10 miles or 20 miles while
his boy drove the car, or leave

him and let the car overtake him

never caught him. He was in the
Navy during World War I and

people look at us distance
runners and think we're crazy,
but that's because they don't un-
derstand It," said Haskell Clark,
one of the towns better known
hooters. Take me, now-I love
it. can't explain why. but
there's something here inside
that keeps me going and makes
me think it's the grandest sport
in the world"
The mention in this space of
some Fourth of July achieve
ments lured Haskell in for
brief visit and the stories he can
tell about running would fill
book Like the time he was out
in front in a Baltimore race and
the band struck up Scotch tune.
1t brought his Scotch Irish blood
to a boil and sent him pumping
slnartly into an even longer lead.
But it wasn't five minutes later
that the band broke out in an
Irish song and old Mike Lynch
picked up his heels and passed
him.
"A grand man, that Mike" said
Haskell. I'll never forget the
1928 Olympic marathon tryout at
Boston. Somebody made a mis-
take and charted part of the
course over a freshly -tarred road.
Well, sir, We all begged down.

at that juncture Cronin walked to

he was through for the day.
Objective Realized.
With the left-handed hitting and

Cronin desired a southpaw pitcher.
1t marked one Of the few times in
baseball history that pitcher left
the mound after striking out q bat
ter, except in cases Of injury, ano
Masterson could be excused for
registering shock.
The immediate strategy didn't
work, but the ultimate objective was
rescued. Mize promptly belted a
single TO right, sending Marshall to
third. but Page and Cronin were
prevented further embarrassment
when Boudreau scooted in behind
the pitchers box for Enos Slaugh-
ter's hopper and nipped him at first.
Lewis grounded out to Mize and
flied deep to Center fielder Harry
Walker in his only appearances at
the plate. Pitcher Early Wynn was
warming up furiously in the latter
stages of the game, along with
Page, Dizzy Trout and Jack Kramer,
but didn't break into the box score.
Blackwell Is Slab Star.
The American Leagusrs, who
fashioned their tenth victory in IA
games, mustered eight hits, two OF
them by Boston's Williams, but they
accomplished nothing toward dis
proving Cincinnati's Ewell Black
well is a whale of pitcher. The
only American Lacquer to reach
base against him in the first three
was Di Maggie, who singled
in the second, took second on a
passed ball, advanced to third on q
wild pitch and was stranded as Joe

Bert Haas singled to left. but got
no further as Harry Walker took

Sets Out 10 Surpass
Hogan S Earnings
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 9.-Bobby Locke
the former boy wonder" Of Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa, who now
has grown up to golf's man OF the
hour today set out on a campaign
to surpass Ben Hogan as the Ma
tons leading money winner before
returning home in the next two
months.
The 29-year-old Locke, who as
an RAF bomber pilot few 100 mis-
sions in the Mediterranean theater
during the war, trounced Ed "Porky'
Oliver by six strokes to win the
Al-American 36-hole championship
playoff yesterday and collect $1,000
COLTS richest prize.
This award pushed his total earn
ings in winning 5 out of 10 tour
naments to $16,18750, and vaulted
him into second position on the
financial list behind Hogan, who
is tops with $17,099. Hogan, how
ever, has pocketed his change
through So tournament rounds. while
Locke has banked his in only 80
rounds of competition since becom-
ing the greatest golfer to visit these
shores in rs years.
Series of Exhibitions.
Locke today was en- route to New
York for a series of exhibitions with
Jimmy Thomson at Buffalo and
Ithaca, N. Y, before hitting the
tournament trail again in a show
down with Hogan for the money
winning title. Hogan, like Jimmy
Demaret. who now is third on the
list with $16,061, passed up the
Tam O'Shanter jamboree when
Promoter George S. May offered
Locke a $1,000 guarantee and posted
two separate prize brackets-one
for those wearing identifying num-
bers and just half as much winnings
for those who refused

the gold rush in the $40, 1000 Canad-

Tentative plans call for the South
African, then to go to England for
exhibitions before returning home.
Insisting he has mo comment" on
reports he eventually will apply for
United States citizenship. Locke in
tends to sail back to these shores
in time to join the winter tour and
keep on the tournament circuit
throughout 1948.
Play Their Worst Golf.
Locke held a three stroke edge
6s to 71-entering yesterdays final
round. Both Locke .and Oliver
played their worst golf of the en-
tire season on the f1fst nine. Oliver
scared to a seven-over-par AZ, while
Locke required 80 hacks, including
7 on the 9th green, which took
him five shots to reach.
Locke needed only 6-foot putt
for an eagle on the 28th. while
Oliver posted birdie. At this point
eight strokes behind, "Porky''
averted a complete rout by birdieing
three more holes, including Is
foot putt for a 3 on the 36th car
pet, to round out a fine four
under-par 81 for rs and 146. Twice

and prayed they'd get a hit" he
said. "It gives me thrill to see
somebody accomplish something
in sports. I can't explain it, but
there's an urge inside me to get
out and do things-to win. I hope
I never lose it,
Haskell was As years old earlier
this month and his son gave him
the incest present the veteran
runner could think of-a new
pair of silk trunks and a shirt
with the Washington Track and
Field Club initials. That answers
the question of whether he is
thinking of retiring.
Haskell thinks Johnny Leiss,
currently the clubs most active
competitor, has an excellent
chance for an Olympic berth if
he continues at his present pace.
He says there are only few men
in the country who can beat
Johnny at 10 miles, but that
Leiss needs more seasoning over
the 26-mile route.
Clark never had a coach. but
always had an ear open for the
advice of such older men as
Clarence De Mar and Bill Ken
nedy. One of youths most COM
mon faults, he believes, is un-
willingness to heed the advice Of
elders.
Now, If they'd take Haskell's
counsel they would go in for dis
tance running as a healthful,
pleasant exercise. But even If
they won't, Haskell intends to
keep right on going until they
have to wheel him to the start
ing line. The old competitive
fame in him never will die.
