Bobo Newsonl Wins Another
 For Yankees
By JOE REICHLER

(ASSOclateQ Press SpOrtSWrlter)
 Veteran baseball observers were wondering today how the old fox, President Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators, allowed him self to be persuaded into unloading the talkative but talented Louis Norman (Bobo) Newsom.
 Old Bobo making this third start for his newest club, the Ameri- can League leading New York Yankees, won his third straight game with brilliant three-hit 60 shutout victory over the St Louis Browns before 51 ,06l appre- ciative fans.
 The runner-up Detroit Tigers, 10i2 games behind, lost to the Senators in a night game in Washington 6-1 as Early Wynn registered his llth victory of the campaign with a two-hitter. Mick ey Vernon led the Senator attack with three hits and drove in two runs.
 With each team making only three hits, the Athletics protected their fourth place hold with 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians in a night game at Philadelphia. Sam Chapmans two-run homer accounted for the margin of vic- tory. Dale Mitchell, rookie Indian outfielder, saw his 22-game hit ting streak snapped.
 Ten Innings
 Birdie TebbettS' double scored Dom DiMaggio with the run that gave the Boston Red Sox a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in 10 innings in an afternoon game at Boston.
 Boston's Ted Williams, who got two hits to raise his steadily ris- ing batting average to .330, suf- fered a bad bruise on his right wrist when struck by pitch thrown by Ed Lopat in the ninth in- ming. The ex-rays showed no fracture.
 Musial In T0rm
 Stan Musial, rapidly regaining his 1946 batting form, slammed out a single, double and his 10th homer to lead the fourth place St. Louis Cardinals to l0-5 win over the New York Giants in a night game at St. Louis.
 Johnny Mize of the Giants was struck over the right ear by a pitch from Brecheen in the 4th and had to leave the game.
 The Chicago Cubs and Boston Braves swapped 20 shutout vic- tories in Chicago Red Barrett of the Braves held the Cubs to four hits in the opener, outpitching Hank Borowy. Veteran Claude Passeau, who rejoined the Cubs less than a month ago, scatter ed eight hits in gaining his first win of the year.
 The scheduled daylight game between Philadelphia's Phils and the Pirates in Pittsburgh was post poned.

Ferdl said he was dying of
hunger and he wished he'd brought
down a piece of bread. Another
prisoner told him to shut up. The
call boy said, Fall in, prisoners.
Look grim. Grimmer!" King
Amonasro gave the pretty
dancer a final pat and stepped
in front of our group, picture
of noble defeat. We started out
on the stage.
My hands were wet with pers-
piration and my heart beat fast.

Egyptians, some of whom l heard
arguing in fierce whispers about
their card game, l moved so stifly
that my spine began to hurt.
We were in the middle of the
stage when Ferdl, walking next to
me, drew in his breath sharply.
He stopped short and the two men
behind him bumped into him. He
had lost his left sandal again. He
tried to bend down and pick it up
but somebody behind us hissed,
Keep going, stupid, keep going"
So he did, half-hopping with one
bare foot across the splintery stage.
We marched up in front of the

thing. Around eight o'clock, the
call-boy came in and shouted,
Soldiers and prisoners, let's 60"
The Egyptians interrupted their
card games and we descended the
narrow staircase, single file. Half
way down, Ferdl lost his left
sandal. 1t clattered down from
stair to stair sounding like an old
outboard motor. and finally fell
with a smack behind the Nile
backdrop, just as Aida was sing
ing pianissimo. Herr Sterzinger
turned and glared at Ferdl, and an
Egyptian soldier who took his role
seriously said he had good mind
to stab him with his lance.
Downstairs Ferdl picked up his
sandal. We were herded into a
corner backstage and told to wait.
Suddenly the ballet whirled past
in a sweet-perfumed cloud, out
onto the stage. They were so close
I could have touched them with
my outstretched hand. l had to
admit, however, that the coryphees
definitely looked less glamorous
than from the fourth gallery.

throne, Aida dramatically recog-
nized her father, Amonasro, and
everybody was supposed to be
deeply moved. But wherever
looked, people were shaking with
suppressed laughter. There, in the
middle of the vast stage, lay Ferdl's
sandal. The ballet girls giggled be-
hind the armor of the warriors.
Aida, Radames, and even Anon
asro we're hardly able to sing.
The Escape
WHEN the curtain finally fell,
Ferdl snatched up his sandal and
we raced to the dressing room
ahead of everybody else. We tore
off our costumes and dressed 50
fast that we didn't even bother to
clean our faces thoroughly. Herr
Sterzinger came up after us, his
hand pressed to his brow. He
gazed at us and groaned. For some
reason, the Egyptian warriors re-
garded Ferdl's mishap as a per-
sonal affront. One tall, sinister
warrior muttered something about
meeting us on a dark night.
We skunk out, ran downstairs
and through the stage door. A few
passers-by seemed startled and
at the corner of Operngasse we
nearly collided with Professor
Hlavatschek, Ferdl's bass-tuba
teacher. He looked mortified - he
had recognized us on the stage at
once. We heard him call our names
and we started to run wildly. Only
when we reached a dark side-street
of the Kaerntnerstrasse, did re-
member that we hadn't waited

ALL through the contest, this
particular night had been
pigeonholed in Susan's mind as
''Theater and Supper Club
Night" Steve had told her, just
casually, to "get tickets and ar
range for supper after the theater
at one of the night spots" And
somehow, in those Work-filled
days, she had wangled tickets to
a musical comedy. For the night
club, she had picked a noisy and
not too expensive club with a
small floor show. In the dim, dis
tant past when she was not en-
gagged in being hostess to a group
OF moronS, Susan remembered.
she had even found time to tell
Steve about the tickets and res
ervations. His reply had been
characteristic: -
'The shows all right, I sup
pose. ] haven't seen it-haVe
your" When Susan shook her
head in the negative, he went on,
"But that Venetian Garden you've
chosen-that's little more than a
juke joint. Call off the reserva-
ton and phone Club Pelican. Ask
for Albert and make the reserva-
ton in my name. TIN be -Okay"
!. Like a schoolgirl. she had gone
and done as she was told. But
tonight, as she went slowly
downstairs to the living room. Il
was small satisfaction to realize
that she had been right in her
original choice. The Venetian
Garden, even il it was a luke
Joint, would have been quite ade-
quate. In fact. this crowd would
have found a roadside tavern on
Long Island just az exciting, il
not more so, than the Club Peh-
can-the SWankiest and most ex-
pensive night spot in town.
But there was at least some
satisfaction in the knowledge
that she looked her best. The
midnight-blue faille dinner suit
was sleek and elegant. With her
curls piled high on her head and
just CLINT of gold-and-blue ear
rings to match the buttons on her
suit jacket, Susan knew that she
would appear as well dressed as
any woman who entered the Club
Pelican's portals.

drawing room where Steve Cells
waited. she tried to forget for
the moment that the house was

Christmas at Lazy Mountain, last week something of an un- certainty, was a three-day holi- day of gift-giving and fun for the 32 children there, it was reported by Rev. K n n t h Hughes. "It was the best Christ mas we've ever had," he said, "and we had been afraid it might be the poorest, since we are so new here."
 But children of the home had not been forgotten in the Christ mas plans of others. The holi- day began on Lazy Mountain on the evening of the 23rd. That night busload Of 40 Anchorage residents, headed by Rev. Eel ton Griffin of the First Baptist church there, drove to the home to give the children a Christmas party.
