as his excess of command hints
Callahan might be dangerous

Diana Shane as the gentle hearted

Cream as the waiter are others who

Waring who designed the two sets

His sidewalk cafe would be a
fine real estate investment for any

the famous sewers of Paris is a
virtual masterpiece, quite worthy

Mats Will Get Trout to Replace
Calvert if Tigers Unload Him

Paul Calvert, the only major
league pitcher since 1916 to lose
as many as IA consecutive games,
has been plucked from the Mats
midst and of necessity the Wash
ington baseball club will rush to
replace him.
The frequently failed Calvert,
claimed by the Detroit Tigers yes
terday at the $4,000 waiver price,
failed to win game after June 3
last season but in letting him go
the Nats-already suffering ar
tistically-have reduced to the
danger point numerically.
1t is customary for the Mats to
carry 10 or II pitchers, but at the
moment only IA are listed as avail
able for spring training and among
them are six who saw service in
nothing better than a Glass B
league last season.
Likely to Unload Trout.
Detroit currently has its cake
and is nibbling it also. The Tigers
recently rejected a Calvert-f for
Dizzy Trout trade and now own
both of them. but Washington
officials are convinced the Tigers
will unload Trout and that they'll
land him.
Trout is not satisfied with Man
ager Red Rolfe's plans to employ
him exclusively in relief. His name
may pop up on the waiver list
shortly and if so the Mats will
exercise their first claim on the
big right-hander.
Calvert. like Trout a bespec-
tacled right-hander, was signed by
the Mats last spring as free agent
and became Washington's best
pitcher early in the year, winning
SIX games and losing three. Then

Field Of 156 Begins
First-Round Play in
Rio Grande Open
BY the Associated Press

HARLINGEN, Tex, Feb. 16-
The third annual $4,000 Rio
Grande Valley Open swung into
its first 18-hole round today.
A field Of 156 players, all pro-
fessionals except IA, appeared
destined to do terrifying things
to par II on the short course with
its poWder-dry fairways and fast
greens.
Already the 6,o95-yard layout
has been assaulted in alarming
fashion in tuneup rounds and a
big pro-amateur yesterday.
Jimmie Demaret, the Ojai,
Calf, minstrel man. and Cary
Middlecoff, the ex-dentist from
Memphis, now getting his mail
at Ormond Beach, Fla, were
picked as the men to beat in the
run for the $4,000 first money.
Sam Snead Missing.
Sam Snead is missing, leaving
the field wide open. On this
course, say the pros, anybody can
win. The man with a hot putter
will be the fair-haired boy.
This tournament has caused
some of the biggest controversies
of golf. In 1948 Norman Won
Nida, the Australian, and Henry
Ransom, an American. exchanged
blows after an argument over
rules during a match. The entire
tournament field was torn by
pickering over the use of winter
rules. At one stage it appeared
the tournament would blow up in
the PGA's face. But the pros sal
vaged it by naming George Schnei-
ter czar of the works and letting
him set down all the rules.
The next year things were going
along smoothly until a newspaper
column criticizing players and
sponsors of tournaments made the
tournament seethe. Dick Metz,
veteran professional. was named
as the man who furnished the in
formation in the column and
Schneiter threatened suspension.
But Metz denied it. Later things
were patched up and Metz again
is on the tour.

Don Often, the 7-footer OBJ
tanned by the Washington Caps
last week in National Basket
ball Association trade which sent
Jack Nichols to the Tri-City
BlackhaWks, will erase the three
year-old individual single-game
scoring mark at Uline Arena, it
was predicted today by Player
Coach Bob Feerick.
The mark-35 points-was es-
tablished by Feerick three years
ago, and tied last year by Chi
cagos Max Zaslofsky. Feerick ex-
poets Often to surpass that tally
this season with ease. If the big
fellow does it, it will snuff out
the last spark of criticism leveled
at the Caps for the trade which
took away one of their most pop
ular players.
Nichols didn't stack up to Often
last night, but the Blackhawks
did, taking an 1881 decision be-
fore a surprisingly small gather
ing announced by the Uline man.
agement as 2,526. Advance ticket
sales indicate a much larger
turnout Saturday night, when the
Caps entertain the Indianapolis
Olympians.
Often Outscores Nichols.
Often contributed II points,
dropping in all of his seven free
throws and five of his II field
goals. Nichols scored II points.
Give him a night when he's
shooting "a or Is times" says
Feerick, land you are going to see
that record broken. He is a great
set shot and a terrific foul
shooter. I don't see how anybody
is going to stop him."
Tri-City Coach Red Auerbach,
former Cap mentor, also Is salts
fled with the deal.
"Otten's good ballplayer,"
agrees Red, but we're building
with young players. That's why
we wanted Nichols; he's five years
younger than DON
Since Auerbach took over as
coach Of the Blackhawks several
weeks after the season was under
way, all the veterans except three
Dee Gibson, Don Ray and Muir
ray Weir-have been traded or
otherwise disposed of. He re-
tanned, in addition, two rockies,
Dixie Eddleman and Warren Per-
klns. His greatest addition to the
club has been Gene Vance, the
former Chicago Stag, who quit
the game after last season.
Auerbach Highly Regarded.
Auerbach. colorful figure dur
ing a game, with one hand always
wrapped tightly around a rolled
newspaper or program, never was
too popular with the Caps when
he was coaching them. But the
Blackhawks look up to him as a
master of the game.
He really knows his business"
one Tri-City player said last night.
And he's a great guy"
Auerbach wanted to win last
nights game so badly (the Caps
beat Tri-City in the first of the
tWo-game series) he called on
Vance to come to Washington.
