an orphan, and they fall in love.
But at this point along comes a

is vaudeville magician, one

Strengthened out and just as the
wedding bells are set to ring, Max
shows up at Fondas room and
begins to tell him how he seduced
the gal (another lie, of course).
Fonda grabs a gun and shoots him
dead. That's the story in bare out
line.
But as it is developed, there
are some interesting ideas ex-
pounded by Wexley. For instance,
as interpret the film, Maximillian
-superbly played by Vincent
Price-is the personification of
evil or maybe fascism.
Fonda is the personification of
honesty and goodness.
When siege is laid to Fonda,
the people in the neighborhood
turn out. They remind the cops
that no man is guilty until he's
had a fair trial and warn them
not to kill him. Fonda surrenders

Movie beet
Long Night is
pleasant surprise
by BOB BENNETT
THE Long Night" is one,
of those sleepers, that

of those sleepers, that
the movie reviewer goes to see
fearing the worst-and instead is
pleasantly surprised.
That is not to say that ''The
Long Night" is a great film, be-
cause, for reasons elaborated be-
low, it isn't. But it has warmth
and a feeling for people that def
initely take it off Hollywoed's
thoroughly beaten path.
The plot is very similar to that
of a pre-war Jean Cabin French
film, the name of which I'll be
damned if I can remember Oay-
break?). Anyway, our hero, in
this case Henry Fonda, has killed
a man. OF course, the cops come
to get him. But he tells them to
get the hell away and remains in
his room. Of course, the cops sur
round the place and tell him to
come out or they'll come in and
get him.
He barricades himself in and
in a series of flashbacks, we see
all the events that led up to the
shooting.
AS I remember the Cabin film,
the story ends with Cabin dead
and the dawn rising in the east.
John Wexley, who did the script
for "The Long Night" had
lot more to say; his hero marches
out to give himself up.
I'll have to give you a quick
outline of the story to fill you in
on why it is important that the
hero give up.

|Lefties Keeping Cards
In Cellar; As Move
Up 10 Sixth Spot
By the Associated Pres,

Some have called it slump.
Others have called it just "a slow
start" .....
But it was apparent today that the
trouble with the world champion
St. Louis Cardinals is that the rest
of the National League has been
ganging up on them with an un-
orthodox barrage of left-handed
pitchers.
INCLUDING their double defeat by
the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday
which incidentally sunk them deeper
into the cellar, seven full games off
the pace-the frustrated Redbirds
have been beaten by Southpaws IL
times this season against only 2
wins against portside pitching.
In 81 games, rival managers have
started left-handers against them 18
times and on IA occasions were re-
warded with victories. One game
ended in a tie and the Cards won the
other three. That is far cry from
last year, when the Redbirds won 36
games from left-handers against
only "a defeats for percentage of
600 that was just 28 points off their
seasons average.
Rest of League Bunched.
After Ken Heintzelman, ex-Pirate,
held the Cards to nine hits in the
opener to beat them, 6-3, Ken Raj
| ifensberger BANKED the Cards
through II innings to win the night
cap, 10.
Except for the Cards, the National
League pennant race resembles a
mob scene with only a game and a
half separating the frst-place Bos-
ton Braves and the sixth-place
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Braves retained their half
game edge over the New York Giants
by splitting a double-header with
the Reds in Cincinnati, winning the
second game behind Red Barrett,
81, after Ewell Blackwell of the
Reds had outpitched Mort Cooper
lin the opened, 2-1.
After the Pittsburgh Pirates had
overcome a 6-1 New York lead in
the opener to win, 7-6, the Giants
came back to take the abbreviated
seven inning nightcap, 11-6 to re-
tain second place.
The Dodgers ended skein of 18
seoreless innings by tallying four
times in the seventh to down the
Cubs, AZ, before record Chicago
crowd of 46,572 paid admissions.
Feller Topples Yankees.
Bobby Feller made his first start
of the season at Yankee Stadium
a success by turning back the New
York Yankees. 5-3, gaining his fifth
victory against three setbacks.

all time, is dead.

career in the majors ended under
the cloud of the BLACK Sox scan
dal" of 1919, twice was in a coma
for 36 hours during his lengthy
illness, but twice he rallied. The
third strike put him out.
Chase was GA and pathetic fig
ure from a kidney ailment, heart
trouble and complications. He died
Yesterday at Colusa Memorial Hos
pital, which he entered in March.
Chase started in organized base
ball in 1908 with Victoria of the
old Northwestern League, and the
next year broke into the Pacific
Coast League with Los Angeles. In
1905 Clark Griffith, manager OF the
New York Highlanders-who later
became the Yankees-lifted him
into the big time.
With the Highlanders Chase was
the most agile, quick-thinkins
first sacker baseball ever had pro-
duced. He had an uncanny way OF
sensing the batter's intention and
roved over wide area, even catch
ing pop fouls behind the catcher
He was a wizard on a bunt.
Chase was traded to the Chicago
White Sox in 1918 and, after dis
pute with his bosses. he switched
the next season to the Buffalo Fed
erals. He bounced back into the
majors with the Cincinnati Reds
after the 1915 season.
With the Reds he led the National

Ended Major Career in 19.
Chase concluded his major league
career in 1919 with the New York

involved in the BLACK Sox Scan

advance knowledge that the 1913
World Series between the Chicago
White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds
had been fixed"
Sure, T knew about that" Chase
said not long ago. But I was no
squealer."
Chase later explained that he
never had any use for sQuealers,
but two of the greatest mistakes
he had ever made were not inform
ling baseball authorities as soon as
i he learned of the World Series
setup and then not going to Chi
cago voluntarily to clear his owr
name.
Chase had had other ructions ir
