YANKS, REDS ARE PICKED AS REPEATS Associ at;fl’ress Sports Editor Gives Out Dope for This Season By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service NEW YORK, April 16.—~A month spent hopping about the Florida paim and palmetto belt observing the big league baseball clubs in spring training has convinced me that the Yanks and Reds are agam the class of the majors Cincinnati may have a dog-fight all the way with the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Reds should win by a nose—maybe Ernie Lombardi's schnozzle — just as they did last season. The Yanks should have an L triumph but their margin may be smaller than in any re- cent year, for Boston and Cleve- land have strengthened their of- fensive, Here's With the the Lineup start of the season 1d anything likely to happen the long summer chase-- here’s the way the pennant races look to me American—I1, New ,York. 2.

He skidded in practically no time to a sparse, trim 154, and he was feeling pretty good about it. But then, he says,— “I asked the doc.

And when I think my reducing trick hight have cost me the chance to play Benzino Napolini with Chplain’s Adenoid Hinkle in ‘The Great Dictators—I get kind of sick.” It seems Chaplin had known Oakie, and vice versa, for some years, and when Chaplin was casting his first talkie he liked Jack for the other dictator’s role. Then (Chaplin told Oakie later) he saw these slimmed-up pictures of Jack, and groaned. The dictators of the piece, as Chaplain insists, are “mythical figures,” but even so, a thin Benzino might have been hard to take. And when Chaplin saw Oakie again—after Paris, and crepes suzettes, and French wines—the comedian was overjoyed. Jack Oakie was definitely in as Benzino. C.P.

Charlie told me how he use dto stand out from the rest of the Keytsone Kops. They'd all be pounding Ford Steling’s head with their sticks—pounding hard and fast. So Chaplin did his pound- ing slowly, deliberately ,and the audiences watched him and forgot about the others. Chaplin showed me how to do a take-'em—you know, delayed expression of surprise. I was doing one, and he said, ‘No, not like that.
