Smith took first chance at Paps mound duties and failed to stem the tide at all, dropping nine hits and six runs in four innings, re- linquishing the rubber to, Sogaard, Haida chucker who appeared for the first time in a Moose uniform and pitched the next three frames to allow but one blow. The Moose played listless ball while Douglas played without an error for the entire game. Fireworks Start In the second inning, Jensen started fireworks with a single, go- ing to third when Gribble doubled Grant put one down third base that Werner failed to come up with and Jensen scored, to be followed by Gribble, coming in on a passed ball while Grant went to third and came in on Manning’s double. Moose had gotten their lone run of the game in the first half of the second when Orme doubled and came in later on Blake's single. In the fourth frame, Douglas bats hammered out five more hits, and after scoring three runs, got mixed up on the bases for a double out that nipped their rush, Scoring Ends Erskine had singled with the bases loaded and one out, advancing Tur- ner to third. The play originally from left field was to catch Turner, but failing in this, Werner whipped the ball to Schmitz on second, tag- ging out Erskine, then when Turner broke for home, Schmitz threw him out at the plate, ending the inning. There were no more scores, and Douglas got one more hit in the game, a single by Jensen off So- gaard. Bex score and summary is as fol- lows: MOOSE Lawson, rf. . Haglund, cf. Marquardt, ss.

FRANKLIN AT THIRD PHONE 34 TRAILERS -DIESELS PHONE 411 Hollywood Sights And Sounds —e By Rabble Covmn “ON BORROWED TIME." Screenplay by Alice D. G. Miller, Frank O'Neill and Claudine West from play by Paul Osborn, novel by Lawrence Edward Watkin. Directed by Harold 8. Buc- quet. Cast: Lionel Barrymore, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Beulah Bondi, Una Merkel, Bobs Watson, Nat Pendleton, Henry Travers, Grant Mitchell, Eily Malyon. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 19.—A year ago today, having just seen the New York stage production of “On Borrowed Time,” T uttered here a few ill chosen words as to the horrible things to be expected of it in screen form. Those words, as I eat them now, are not so bitter as they might be. T1l'eat my words any old day for a movie like this. . It is fantasy, a dramatic fable. Its foreword prepares for something off the beaten path: “We tell you a tale of everyday people in a little town of present-day America. It is an absurd, charming and stupendous story—but it is not a new one, .. ."” Absurd, charming, and stupendous (but not colossal, thank Buc- quet) it is. Stout-hearted old Gramps (Barrymore) does a good deed and it wins him the power to make a wish. Comes time when, to keep his orphaned grandson Pud (Watson) from the scheming hands of a narrow, small-minded aunt (Mglyon). that power comes in handy. Mr. Brink—you'll spot him as Death by his cool, impassive yet commanding presence—taps Gramps just when Aunt Dem- mie is hottest on Pud’s trail, and the wily old gent traps Mr, Brink, by power of his wish, in the old apple-tree. As long as Brink (Sir Cedrie) is treed, no living thing can die, and Gramps can wage his lusty fight for Pud. There's nice balance between earthly sentiment and humor and spiritual implications. Direction and performances—especially “Came and Get It Has a Special Meaning Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere fruly home-like sound the old call of "“Come and Get It” . .. “«PERCY’S by Barrymore, Hardwicke, Bondi and the boy Watson—are not.e: worthy. “BACHELOR MOTHER.” Screenplay by Norman l(r:n:. from story by Felix Jackson. Directed by Garson Kanin. Cast: Ginger Rogers, David Niven, Charles Coburn, Frank Albertson, E. E. Clive, Ernest Truex, Elbert Coplen, Jr. g Third picture directed by Boy Genius Kanin (“A Man to Remember,” “The Great Man Votes,”) this is farce comedy about a department store girl who has a foundling infant wished on her, as her own, by common consent of the foundling home, her employer (Niven) and her boy friend (Albertson). Brightly written, deftly and cleverly directed, and aeted, with spirit, “Bachelor Mother” easily takes place as the funniest film in months. Risque but never vulgar, it tackles the obvious complications with sufficient finesse to make them seém hilars iously new. _“SECOND FIDDLE.” Screenplay by Harry Tugend from stwi by George Bradshaw. Directed by Sidney Lanfield. Cast: Sonja Henie, Tyrone Power, Rudy Vallee, Edna May Oliver, Mary Healy, Lyle Talbot, Alan Dinehart, Minna Gombell. First Henle film in which ice skating is merely incidental, “Second Fiddle” satirizes a screen search for a “Violet” in the- epic “Girl of the North.” Sonja is the Minnesota schoolmarm who is Test No. 436 and wins the role. Power Is the press agent who cooks up a “romance”, between her and Vallee, a slipping film star. Sonja falls for Rudy, Ty falls for Sonja, and Rudy has a fiance (Healy) who complicates matters. Edna May Oliver, as Sonja’s aunt, is the comedy standout. Generally satisfying entertainment, “Second Fiddle” has Irving Berlin's least satisfying musical score, although “I Poured My Heart Into a Song” is hit-caliber. ONNORS MOTOR CO.. Inec.
