A CANDID TALK WITH— J0 DAVIDSON— “Go ahead and shoot off those flashbulbs of yours an(li let's get on with our talk ... “Photography has been re- placing the portrait painter and sculptor. It shouldn’t. “That camera can only show what I am like at this partic- ular instant—that is not a por- trait. It's a map, a physical likeness. “Don’t misunderstand me. I think photography is fine, very useful, often extraordinary. But its field is not portraiture. The camera can’t do what the portrait painter and sculptor can do. They can give you a syn- thesis of what has happened over a period of time, a combination of various moods of the sitter. That is a portrait. “Most of humanity have to work at something they don't like. Fortunately I have to do what I want to do. I suppose you could say I've never done an ‘honest day’s work’ in my life. I'm never idle—I work everywhere I go. I've started a portrait bust of Lin Yutang here in New York and can’t leave until I've finished it.” —Mary Morris, AP Feature Service Photographer WHO HE IS FAMED sculptor Jo Davidson, denizen of Paris 32 years, couldn’t move back to America very well even if he wanted to because several hundred stat- ues don't ship easily, But he vis- its here frequently, has numer- ous friends in the states as well as abroad. A widower with two sons, he is neatly dressed and vigorous looking, has produced heroic statues of Will Rogers, Walt Whitman and the late Senator La Follette, has done nudes, portraits, busts. MOOSE STEP AHEAD WITH 10-RUNWIN Eiks Lose First Place as B.| Kimball Pitches Two-hit Ball in Sunday Game The Moose ball club took a full game lead in the Gastineau Channel Baseball League last night when lanky Bob Kimball, Moose chucker, set the Elks down with two hits and two runs while his teammates piled up ten markers, The Moose got one run in the first inning after a pair of Elks er- rors and one hit by Fred Marquardt. Moose shortstop who hit four out | of five for the evening. | In the fourth inning, the Moose | garnered two more tallies, and in the last of the sixth, the Elks fin- | ally got started and scored two runs |to pull up within one run of the | Paps. | However, in the eighth frame, the Moose garnered four more runs, then went cn into the ninth inning |and got three more, while the Elks' guns were silent. A dreary drizzle began shortly |after the game got under way, and before the night was over, the field was a sea of mud. Catchers sloshed |in muck, sliding base runners came lup looking like the scenery, and pitchers had to throw soaked balls wiped on a sideline towel. Fielders had difficuity handling balls, and the Elks made six er- rors. As the first half of the league season draws near an end, it is worthy of note that it is still any- body’s race. Tuesday night, the Elks meet | Douglas at Douglas, then meet the Moose next Friday. The Moose have a tie to play off with Douglas, yet, and the Elks still have a post- poned game with the Moose. ‘The box score and summary for | last night's game follow: i ELKS AB ‘Ellensburg ¥ | ] - Foster Koshak Gray Rodgers | Peterson | Havlic | Addleman | Abrahamson | Hagerup ... | MacSpadden | Hautala | Koski Henning Krause wa lcomvoocomoocto | raowoonmm> 5] oo | Totals | MOOSE | Schmitz Haglund Marquardt ........ 5 o | Orme | Werner | Berryessa | Blake ... ; Kimball commowunog |l ccocccccccconory omvomunroom vl cooorncoococorococcom srvonaosed Blocwwwrruronmman lcnorobBrwn . 38 10 11 Summary Stolen bases, Werner, Berryessa, ;Bhke, Ellensburg; two-base hits, Marquardt, Snow; three base hits Berryessa, Snow; home runs, Joe Bnow; errors, Kimball, El- lensburg, Foster, Peterson 2, Hager- up, Hautala; double play, Peterson- | Hautala-Rodgers; runs batted in, Marquardt 1, Snow 5, Orme 1, Ber- ryessa 3, Rodgers 1; 9 hits, 7 runs off Koski in 8 innings; 2 hits, 3 runs off Henning in 1 inning; 2 hits, 2 runs off Kimball in 9 in- | nings; struck out by Kimball 10, | Koski 2, Henning 2; bases on balls, off Kimball 6, oski 2, Henning 2; ‘ofl‘ Kimball 6, Koski 2, Henning 2; | pitched ball, Peterson by Kimball; | passed balls, Blake 1. | Time of game, 2 hours. | Umpires, Shaw, Iffert.

He sat there on the hard pine bench meditating as a| fierce, glaring sun slanted down on | the Tampa diamond where the Cin- cinnati Reds were training last March. He looked out over his spectacles, sitting pertly on the bridge of his nose, and watched Lonnie Frey scoop up a ball around second base. Young Lonnie Frey, the fellow many critics tabbed as the weak link in the Reds’ chain. “That Frey is a pretty fair ball| player. You gotta remember he hadn't played much second base until I put him there regularly last season. | “Maybe some of the other teams 1 Riggs 5 Tough Breaks OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 19.—Life hasg been a series of bad breaks—and hospitals — for Roger Allen Marlow, 5. When he was two he fell from a wagon and his left leg was frac- tured. Infection set in and for two years he was treated Last year he was pronounced cured but he was out of the hosl pital only a few weeks when his leg again was injured. Just recent- cured but he was out of the hos- pital once more but a few blocks away from the stitution the car in which he was riding was struck and overturned. His left leg was broken again In the accident his mother, Mrs. Mae Marlow, suffered a compound fracture of the right ankle; his grandfather was injured fatally. year because I have more confid- ence,” he says, with a modest smile, “Myers is a great guy to work with and then with the club going hot it sort of inspires all of us to play up to the hilt.” He's hitting above .300, guite a it higher than last year, and driv- ing in more than his share of the runs, “I think my average is higher because I've become a pull hitter, McKechnie figured I could get more power into my drives, and he was right,” explains Prey, who broke in- to baseball with Montgomery in 1932, because the depression had laid him off his clerical job with a sign company.

Under the circumstances he played good ball | for me.” McKechnie looked up at me. “Where am 1 going to find a bet- ter second-baseman?

He's liable to sur-| prise you when he plays next sea- | son. He's young and new at sec- ond base.” | A ndLonnie is bearing out Mc- Kechnie’s predictions. Right now ! he’s about the hottest second sacker | in the National League. His spark-| ling play has been as important a factor in the surge of the loop- leading Reds as any other. Paired with Billy Myers, they form one of the best double-play units in the major leagues. Lonnie is getting balls he wouldn't have speared a year ago. He's pivoting smartly and whipping the ball to first to cinch double plays that summer, Linus Reinhard Frey, just turned 25, has been in the big show for five years. His first trick was with Brooklyn but everything he did | there seemed to be wrong and the | furious Flatbush fans were down on | him. He was happy to be traded to| Chicago in 1937. Lonnie was al utility fielder with the Cubs and orfe of McKechnie's first moves when he came to Cincinnati in 1938 from the Boston Bees was to buy Frey. There was a lot Lonnje didn't know about second-basing. Some of the boys started calling him the weak sister. But Lonnie was game and McKechnie had confidence in him and now Lonnie is coming into his own. “I guess I'm playing better this| ing.
