Puerto Rican
Woman Arrives
To Help O'Dwyer

NEW YORK (ANP)- Miss
Josefina Rincon, acting mayor of
San Juan, Puerto Rico, arrived in
New York last week on a trip
announced to help reflect Mayor
O'Dwyer and President of the
City Counsel Vincent Imprllitteri.
Miss Rincon said that the chief
reason for her action is to "clear
up misunderstanding about Puerto
Ricans being Communists because
some Of them follow "Rep. Vito
Marcantonio. She estimated that
of 100000 persons in Puerto
Rico only 800 were Communists.
Many Puerto Ricans live in Rep.
Marcantonio's district, and have
found him their only means Of aid
when they were in need in their
adopted city. Mayor O'Dwyer has
recently been ordering surveys
made Of the Puerto Rican problem
in New York.

Whereas moviegoers IN this
vicinity will flock to movie houses
where the shallow Hollywood pro-
auctions are playing, they shy
away from places where more
realistic films are showing. There
is one theatre in Dayton, the Art
on Wayne Avenue, where cultur-
al films are billed each week. Cur
rently showing is a French film,
The Life and Loves of Tschaikov-
sky.
In many respects, to be sure,
Hollywood films r superior to
all other films. But in some i'm
portant ways they are far inferior.

good brand of outfield. besides
pitching and pinch hitting.
Nothing to it," he says. II
used to pitch four and five
times a week besides playing
the outfeld. I remember back
in 1887 I pitched a double
header against New York at
Griffith Stadium for the cham
pionship. Won both games,
too. I did just about all our
pitching then. That week I
pitched 392s innings in six days
besides playing the outfield."

Schneider. Norm Hutchinson,
Ray Homan, Tuck Dalglish.
Phil Boundford, Lou Hollis,
Charley Warren. Jimmy Hol-
loran, Heinie Webb, Brownie

Suess and Dixie Desper.
These are names to conjure
fond memories for the gray
boards among sandlot fans, for
the Union Printers, behind the
direction and pitching of
Heinie Webb, were a power in
non-professional baseball in
the days when the sandlot
game was at it's peak-a quar-
ter century ago.
The Printers began operat-
ing on the District sandlots in
1908 and won the international
typo title II times. The tour
nament was not held during
the years of both World Wars.
But the Printers haven't
brought home the bacon since
