In the new picture d on a rovel by Fanny Heaslip Lea, Miss Loy makes a striking departure rom her familiar role of the perfect wife” to play an ultra- nodern girl who overrides old- ashioned conventions in her pur- uit of the man she loves. The plot, in brief, describes Miss L0y as a newspaper artist in love vith a social climber, Walter Pid- seon. When he m: es Rosalind Russell, society hel Miss Loy esolves to win him back. Mean- while, Franchot Tone, young car- oonist, falls in love with her. When he honeymooners return Miss Loy enews her siege. Pidgeon is su rised by his wife in Miss Lo; \partment. But when he is offered | \ divorce he refuses, knowing that 1 is in love only with himself. Mliss Loy at last realizes the futil- ty of her false romance and turns sack to Tone. In directing “Man-Proof,” Rich- wd Thorpe surrounded himself with the same expert production staff who assisted him in his other iits, “Nightt Must Fall” and Double Wedding.” . Karl Freund, who filmed “The Good Earth,” was | ‘he cameraman. With a modern New York back- rround, the picture has been given lavish settings which include met-| ropolitan newspaper offices, mil- lionaires’ * mansions, dight clubs| ind Madison Square Garden. - e PRINCE GEORGE DUE 6 TONIGHT Canadian National steamer Prince George is scheduled to arrive in port it 6 o'clock tonight from the south.

The fact is shown by the complete re-| cords for all players taking any part | in a regular game during the season, which are released below. The improved playing skill in the field this year is demonstrated | by the small number of performers whose marks fell below the .900 mark, in comparison to former years. Of the 56 players, eleven came through with perfect marks, though some of them were in but single- game stands. As usual, the hurlers topped the| list of fielders, with Bob Kimball} of the Moose and Dave Turner of| Douglas both carding perfect scores Batterymen have the advantage of being credited with assists and put- outs on strikeouts, which gives them a big edge over the infielders and gardeners, who must work on every First basemen also share with the batterymen, the advantage of handling mainly thrown balls. | For that reason, it is to be expect-| ed that pitchers and catchers will| lead the list, with first sackers| right behind and infielders bring- ing up the rear. However, due (o| the considerable shifting of players from place to place that took part| in the league during the season just| past, it was impractical to separ- ate the fielders into different clas- sifications, as is most often done.| Though the pitchers and catchers cop most of the spots at the head| of the list, excluding non-regular | players, two players who di\‘lded their duties between the infield and outfield were able to wind up the season with unmarred records.| They were Jimmy Orme, of thel Moose, and “Rabbit” Ellensberg, of | the Elks, J Heading the list of regular re- | | e body is not on Cobb's machin | ing down the hot shortstop post for es Assault on Land Spe 4 cylinders. run at 250 miles p er hour. | ceivers is Lonny Grant, of the Is-|Fultz landers, with a score of .979, while | Moose first baseman Joe Snow leads his department, right behind Grant, at .970. Among the regular infieid- ers, Earl Forsythe has the best re- cord, though he was aided by a couple of turns on the mound and at first. King of the gardeners is Tom Martin of the Moose. The dubious honor of committing the most errors during the season was grabbed by Jack Schmitz, hold- the Paps. Schmitz, however, handled enough chances to maintain an| .837 record, despite his bobbles. At the bottom of the list of regular per- formers was Joe Werner, who| teamed with Schmitz on the tough | side of the Moose inner defense, at| third base.
