him until Scheib passed up his
turn at the plate yesterday

Browns Trade Offer
Pathetic, Mats Say;
Yank Deal Possible
By Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla. Mar. 4.-"If
we do any dealing 1t will be with
the Yankees" Calvin Griffith. vice
president of the Mats, said today.
He dismissed the trades proposed
by Bill De Witt. vice president Of
the st. Louis Browns, as "pathe-
tic"
Clark Griffith, the Mats presi-
dent. agreed with Calvin that
De Witt had offered them nothing
which would interest the Mats

yesterday.
De Witt repeatedly offered deals
for First Baseman Mickey Vernon,
IOutflelder Gil Coan. Second Base
man Cass Michaels and Third
Baseman Eddie Yost, but couldn't
produce players to arouse sufficient
interest of the Washington off,
cials. "You have to admire the
Browns for trying" Manager
Bucky Harris said, "but they're in
no great position to trade. They
have q lot of players but they
won't trade the good ones among
them"
Calvin's preference at the mo-
ment to do business with the
Yankees could create more activ-
ity among Cleveland officials.
Both the Yankees and Indians
are interested in acquiring Cen
terfielder Irv Noren, and Hank
Greenberg, general manager Of
the Indians, would go high to
prevent New York from getting
him.
Now in Tucson, Greenberg is
supposed to visit this sector
shortly and doubtless will con-
tact the Mats officials. The In
dians, rated chief threats to halt
the Yankees bid for a fourth
straight pennant, previously have
attempted to pry Noren and Out
fielder Sam Mele from the Mats.

simultaneously with Privately
Owned" It win remain through
March Z.
This French artist came to
the United States in 1899 and
has exhibited widely in this
! country. He is an abstract
surrealist whose work ranks
high, probably because his Inn
peccable craftsmanship pro-
vides q firm foundation for his
curious conceptions. The gen.
eral effect Of the 10 paintings
On view tmostly oils) is gray.
Yet many of them have fresh
and beautiful colors worked
into the somber tonality.
Against backgrounds Of twi-
light. night or cloudy skies. un-
recognizable, non-Suggestive but
nevertheless solid-appearing OBJ
jects are resting on the shores
Of o dead sea. in light strong
enough to cast sharply defined
shadows. These improbable
objects have extensive variety
in shapes and textures. vaguely
resembling old bones, pieces of
paper or metal. stones and a
score Of other materials. occa-
sionally held together with taut
strings. Any effort to describe
them sounds incredibly foolish,
and their titles will not provide
much help for the average per-
son. Most Americans are not
inclined to excavate in the sub
conscious, and are prone to re-
gard those who. do so as slightly
touched.
Yet these paintings exert a
magic all their own, for many
observers. They remind me of
Keats line, "Perilous seas In
faery lands forlorn."
