why do you spell your name
Folkes instead Of Folkes?" Ra-
ther it is How did a college
professor ever get dragooned into
travelling around touting a
movie?"
The movie is Robert Rossen's
mammoth CinemaScope ALEX
ander the Great" filmed in
Spain, for which Mr.. Ffolkes de-
signed the costumes. To take on
the chore. he had to get a leave
of absence from Boston Univer-
sity. where he is a professor
teaching the history of architec-
ture, costume design and the
technique Of theatrical drawing
1t was a prodigious task,
started in London and concluded
in Spain on location. It involved
not only the design but super
vising the making Of some zoo
costumes for stars (Fredric
March. Claire Bloom, Danielle
Darrieux, Richard Burton and
others. plus several hundred
more for the extras. 1t also was
an assignment at which any de-
signer would have leaped.
Il didn't have any budget at
ALL" says Mr.. Ffolkes. THE
only requirement was that the
costumes be absolutely anthem
tic" This, of course, meant
considerable research and here,
too. the Boston professor who
was born in Worcestershire was
the man best prepared. He had
just completed a series of lee
lures to his students on early
Greek costumes, so his research
was partly done.
Further research revealed to
him, and it can be revealed to
you, that male fashions today
are about where the Persians
had them in Alexander's day.
The Persians set sleeves in jack
cts the same way we do and
wore coats and trousers-"gath-
cred in at the ankle and I'M

a glance at the interviewer

With that heroic costume task
Mr.. Ffolkes now is
spreading the word about Mr..
Rosson's picture before going
back to school. II he is as affable
and informative in thu class
room. incidentally. as he is over
luncheon, there must be a long
waiting list for the Ffolkes lee
lures up at Boston.
The answer to that original
question may have been revealed
in his report from Spain. Alex
ander the Great" he said, is
not merely lavish movie spec
tacle. but sis one that is anthem
tic historically. Maybe 1t is even
the first one"
AS for a direct answer. all Mr..
Ffolkes said was. "Hah, that's
what everybody wants to know"
Then he changed the subject.

equally clear that she has not

about her playing the interpre-

Vaughan OvershadOwed
Arky Vaughan of the Pirates
was the first player to belt two
homers in an All-Star Game. In
the press box at Detroit in 194l
writer's were tapping out leads
which stamped him a hero. With
one out in the last of the ninth
and the National League leading
5-3. fingers were Ticking furi-
ously on keyboards as the gasp
ing minutes of the game were
being dictated to telegrapherS.
The leads had to be ready tc
shove into telegraphers' hands
at games end and Vaughan was
in the first paragraph of every
bC6v's story.
But those stories never were
sent. for the situation changed
suddenly and dramatically. Ken
Keltner hit pinch single Then
Joe Gordon singled. Cecil Travis
Of the Senators walked. filling
the bases and bringing up Joe
DiMaggio to face Claude Passeau
of the Cubs.
DiMaggio supplied no heroics.
He forced Travis at second as
Keltner scored and Travis kept
the eamesalive by giving Second
Baseman Billy Herman an en-
phatic bump to break up a
double-play possibility
Ted Changed Everything
Then it was up to Ted Will
liams. Boston's blaster. When he
doomed a mighty shot toward
the rightfield stands. typewriter
carriages whirled, with writer's
ripping out those Vaughn leads.
Now the headline boy was Will
liams, whose majestic homer
thumped off the facing of the
third deck and gave the Ameri-
can League a Us victory.
Remembered, too, is the 1850
game at Comiskey Park. where
Ralph Kiner smashed a ninth
inning homer to give the Ma
tional League a 3-3 tie. The
clubs struggled until the 14th.
when Red Schoendienst decided
it in favor of the Nationals with
another homer.
One of the better games, this
one caused Williams to be lost
from the Red Sox lineup for a
long time. He crashed into the
leftfield wall in the second in
ming while making a fine catch
at Kiner's expense. He con-
tinued in the game until the
ninth inning. unaware he had
suffered a broken elbow.

HUBBELL AND WILLIAMS WROTE HISTORY
Memorable Moments
OF Past Come Alive

The All-Star Game has pro-
vided many memorable moments
but perhaps the most thrilling OF
them all materialized in the
second game at the Polo Grounds
in New York. There. in a night
mariSh setting for pitchers. lean
Carl Hubbell of the Giants un-
raveled one of the supreme
mound efforts of all time.
The Polo Grounds is a para
disc for pull hitters, with glori-
fed pop files down either foul
line threats to reach the seats.
In such surroundings, the
left : handed Hubbell took the
mound for the National League
IN 1884. He walked Helnie Ma
nush of Washington. Charley
Gehringer of Detroit singled,
then Hubbell applied the brakes
with such force that the shock
will be remembered as long as
baseball is a topic of conyersa-
ton
Couldn't Walk Gehrig
The mighty Babe Ruth went
down swinging as Manush and
Gehringer executed double
steal The temptation to pass
menacing Lou Gehrig was
blocked because on deck was the
equally formidable Jimmy FoXx,
q right-handed hitter. The deci-
sion was to leave first base open
and pitch to Gehrig, left
handed hitter.
Hubbell struck out Gehrig
then FoXX. Al Simmons led off
for the American League IN the
second inning. He struck out.
Joe Cronin followed and he. too,
became strikeout victim. Hub
bell had famed five of the more
noted hitters of any era success
slvely.
The magnificence of his
achievement since has added
luster. Ruth, Gehrig. Foxx, Sim
mons and Cronin all have been
enshrined in baseballs Hall of
Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y.
along with the man who made
history at their expense.
The American League won
that game, 81. but Hubbell won
everlasting fame. The player

Teams Work
On Transit Bill

Federal and District legal
teams redrafting parts Of a bill
to set up a Metropolitan Wash
ington Transit Authority worked
yesterday preparing for a new
conference on the measure to-
morrow.
One team, working at the Dis
trict Building. nearly completed
rewriting the personnel section
of the bill. while the Treasury
Department was readying a new
draft of the proposal to let the
authority borrow up to $25 mil
lion in Treasury funds to get
started.
Engineer Com mission e r
Thomas A. Lane said no time
had been set for the meeting
tomorrow between District and
Federal officials. but that the
session would be arranged early
in the day.
Reconsideration Of three major
provisions of the bill was ordered
Friday at a Federal District
meeting in the Office Of District
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
Included was the problem of
whether the authority should be
Q Federal agency, as proposed,
or District one.
1t was the first development
after the Commissioners had
submitted the bill to the Fed
eral Budget Bureau for clearance
which still is awaited before the
measure can be submitted to
Congress.
The District Building session
was conferred on the personnel
section Of the transit authority
bill. Originally. the measure
would have left all handling of
personnel entirely UP to the
proposed five-member board Of
directors Of the authority, and
taken them entirely out Of the
Jurisdiction of the civil service
system.
Yesterdays session was at
tended by Miss Evelyn Harrison.
assistant director Of the Civil
Service Commissions Bureau of

Henry F. Hubbard, director of

was handled by Irving Bryan.

iation and Opinions Division, and
