TOUGH BREAK FOR PITCHER IN GAME
 IN EVERGREEN BOWL

In the first game of the Juneau Softbal league last night played at the Evergreen Bowl between the first place Town Criers team and the second place ACS team was well fought up to the last out in the seventh inning.
 Walt Speril had everything going his way towards a shutout With his teammates playing good ball until the second out in the last of the seventh inning. He lost con trol of the ball and walked two runs in to lose his shutout. With three men on he turned the mound duties over to his teammate John Scott who got the next batter to knock slow roller to the third baseman Kelly who was little late with his throw to first base and a runner scored. The next batter drove hard hit ball to the pitcher 5 mound and the pitcher knocked the ball down and hurried to force the runner at third and the game ended II to 8.
 Nichols pitched a good game for the ACS and went the entire route A good cheering crowd was on hand and was letting everyone know wha they were roofing for, especially in the seventh inning.
 The second game was played be- tween the Dept. of Interior with Garcia doing the pitching and the Employment Security with CashenS doing the pitching. The final score with the Dept. of Interior way out in front was 12 to g.

kELLHEADS pLAYERlIN
 BIG TEAMS
(By the Associated Press)

NeRR0SAes'ONt
 Today we bow to George Kell, who won the American League bat ting championship by two ten thousands of a point over Ted Will Hams last fall
 For some unknown reason Kells victory over Williams was greeted with applause usually reserved for cheese champions" Perhaps it was because he did not move into the top spot until the very last day.
 But did it discourage the Ameri- can Leagues standout third sacker? Well, the top figure in the majors today is .372, compiled by George Kell of the Tigers. He has the most hits, the most doubles.
 It is by no means certain that Kell will win the championship again this year. There is no doubt, however. that thus far he's been the most valuable player in his league. He, more than any other player, has been most responsible for the Tigers lofty perch.
 One Game Monday
 Kell had a hand in Detroit's up hill GA victory over the Chicago White Sox in yesterdays only big league encounter. George got two singles and a walk in four times at bat. He was the only Tiger to score against Billy Pierce until De- troit blasted over the four-run Win ming rally in the eighth.
 The victory increased the Tigers first place lead over the idle New York Yankees to 3l5 games.
 Hal White, making his first start of the year, got his first victory although Dizzy Trout finished in the ninth
 Three exhibition games were played last night. The New York Yankees downed their interborough rivals, the Giants, 9-4, at the Polo Grounds, the Phillies scored six runs in the last three innings to down Connie Mack's Athletics, 3-5, and Pete Castiglione cracked a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give Pittsburgh 4-3 victory over Bostons Red SoX.

Robinson
 Leading s k HitM Man

NEW YORK, June 27-lR-Jackie Robinson, defending National League batting champ, picked up IT points last week and climbed into the hitting lead with a .369 figure.
 While the shifty Brooklyn in- fielder banged out IA hits, St. Louis Stan Musial, the erstwhile paceset- ter, managed only five, and his average fell 13 points to .35l, good for second place.
 Robinson, in 58 games, has 82 hits in 222 at bats, scoring 48 runs. h 56 contests, Musial has 72 safeties in POS tries, scoring 43 runs.
 Robinson hit .342 last year, four points better than Musial.
 Duke Snider, also of Brooklyn held third place with a .342 mark. He has 80 hits, two less than Roo- ingson, in 234 at bats.

I TeIevision-Rodio
Jimmy Duronte Brjghtens Things Up
With His Debut as q TV Star
By Harry Macarthur

It probably will make things
more pleasant for all concerned il
we lay off and let some one else
snarl about color today. It is time
today for a quick appraisal OF
some new shows of the 1850 tele-
vision season. It wasn't the right
time before this because, almost
without exception, the comics who
took the TV plunge after Bob
Hope showed that it wasn't fatal
stepped self = consciously before
the cameras.
1t seemed that each had to get
a show about television out of the
way before he could do one for
television. For time it was as
inevitable as the next drop in the
Japanese water torture that the
next comic to make his TV debut
would do a show about making his
TV debut. This phase, let us
hope, Is behind us.
Even Jimmy Durante INDUCED
in this particular brand of intro
spection. He got comedy out of
it, however, as when he paused
in his opening song to demand:
(Which camera takes da pictcha
ia Schenectady? I used to know
a goil in Schenectady" 1t is pos
sible, though the thought seems
preposterous, that some people
do not succumb completely before
Durante and for them we have
nothing but sympathy. The
Durante admirers got the show
of their lives, or the show of tele-
visions life, when he made his
debut on MICS -Four Star
Revue" (WNBW - Wednesday
8 p.m.).
| Oh, the program had its short
comings, all right. The major one
of these was confinement to q
theater stage, q technique by
which television shows are ham,
pered in order to admit studio

Jerry Lester Show
A Notable Success
Among the other successes of the
season, the most notable one is
not one of the big boys of radio
comedy but a young man (com-
paratively) from the night clubs.
And Jerry Lester is his name.
Mr.. Lester (not to be confused
with his brother Buddy performs
three times a week (WNBW-
Tuesday. Thursday, Friday, II
p.mD, so there is some natural
unevenness in his material. Every
gag doesn't have you rolling on
the living room floor in convul-
sions OF laughter. Jerry's average
is high enough, however, that lot
of better-know and more highly
paid entertainers might well envy
him. Even on his off nights he
is amusing goOdly part of the
time. An hour with Mr.. Lester
and crew passes more quickly
than most other hours in tele-
vision.
He brings this about by reducing
everything to a formula Gas some
one already has pointed out,
his version of the Jack Benny
format) and by having ready
store of wit and nonsense &C
cumulated through his cabaret
years. If one quip or bit of busi-
ness fails. he has another at hand
and If that doesn't work he can
get his laugh by beautifully shrug-
ging off his failure.
The major ingredient contrib
uting to the programs success
probably Is the Lester personality.
He is a pixie type with an in
fectious manner and when he
fills the screen with that grin
there is nothing to do but erin
right back. He has learned that
it is wiser in the long run to make
friends with an audience than to
fight it. He ingratiates himself,
instead of forcing his way into
your living room. This is a well
come rarity in a field where too
many masters of ceremonies are
guilty of illegal entry.
Mr.. Lester, too, is more aware
OF the nature of his medium than
a lot Of other people in it. He
keeps things intimate and informal
and does the show for you. not for
his studio audience. When he
takes note of the audience it is
to use it as straight man.
The comedian has passed his
spirit of fun along. too. to the
members of his supporting cast.
The most notable-at least the
most noteworthy-of these is a
girl who calls herself Dagmar
She functions as a comedienne
rather than as a foil for Mr.. Les
ter, possibly because she could
never get away with calling her
self straight woman. Dagmar is
a blond of heroic proportions who
usually appears in a black, low cut
gown which is so tight she sits
down only with difficulty, which
is all right because she is enter
tanning just standing there. Until
you have heard Dagmar read one
OF her Zany playlets with ferocious
seriousness, you have not learned
the limits to which the language
can be pushed.

Television Dromu
Reaches New Hioh

There is nothing wrong with
television drama, it seems, that
money won't cure. Where the
money Is coming from is a ques-
tion, to be sure, but it is evident
now that the production talent is
there If the budget is large enough
to permit it to do a job. This was
amply proved a week ago Friday
night at when Ford Theater"
(WTOP-TV presented dramati-
zation of Joseph Conrad's Heart
of Darkness" This was probably
television's most costly drama
production yet. Whether or not It
paid off as advertising is a prob
lem for somebody else's auditors.
1t certainly paid off in the living
room in entertainment.
Heart of Darkness" on TV ad-
mirably captured the Conrad fla
vor. It was forceful drama with
well sustained suspense, excel
lently played by Richard Carlson
and the others in the cast. Heart
OF Darkness" is not the sort of
thing which adapts easily to a
visual medium. but Joseph Liss
did a skillful job of keeping it
dramatically moving and not too
wordy.
The physical aspects of the pro-
duction. however, are what made
the program outstanding. In ad-
dition to the normal interiors of
most television drama. Heart of
Darkness" boasted steaming
jungle. fullsize copy of an Afri-
can river boat and a river on
which to float the boat. All of
these were put to good use by ex-
pert camera work and television
came close enough to the pictorial
quality of Hollywood feature to
prove that it can do just that any
time some one wants to pay for it.
