[ Bob worked out ldst spring with | the Knoxville team of the South- | ern Association and Freddy Lind- strom, former Giant infielder, liked | his looks and recommended him to | Terry. “He hits the ball hard, takes a i nice cut, is fast and handles him- self well in the. field,” Terry says. |“I think he's a fine prospect.” Bob has never played pro ball He had a batting average of better! {than 400 during his three years| of varsity baseball at the Univer- sity of Tennessee and batted well jover 300 in two years of summer | semi-pro ball. He played witn| Blackstone, Va., last summer and' hit .325. Prefers Baseball “I like baseball two to one over foothall,” Bob says. “I've already learned a lot down here, just' watching these stars play, and I, hope I'll be up there with them in a year or so.” Bob is a good-look- ing, broad-shouldered youngster with curly blond hair. He weighs| 185 and is 21. Bob and another flychaser, James | | Walter Maynard, are the best look- | | i |ing of the Giant rookies. Maynard led the Piedmont League at bat when he hit .337 for Richmond last, |year. He played a few games late lin the season with the Giants. He likely will be sent out for another seasoning, too. Big Question Marks The two big question marks on | this club are Shortstop Bill Jurges and the pitchers. Jurges was out half of last season after he was beaned by Bucky Walters . He | complained during the winter of | dizzy spells and had a recurrence of the peculiar dizziness during | workouts th isspring. He's deter- mined to stick out the full train- ing period.. With Bill well the | Giants' infield would be set witn Burgess Whitehead at second, Joe Orengo from the Cards at third !and Babe Young at first. The shift of Harry Danning to the outneld may cause a question mark behind “the bat but Terry seems to think Ken 'O'Dea and that problem without trouble. ‘The pitching staff is the same as last year plus Bump Hadley from the Yankees, Bob Bowman from the Cards and several rookies. The best of thése in the.early workouts| were Ace Adams from ‘Nashville and Clydell Castleman, the former ' Giant who injured his back and spent last year with Jersey City.

"~ By GEORGE McMANTUS YEA-AN' PUT THAT LAMP OVER THERE- AND_PUT THAT VASE ON THAT CHEST IN E CORNER ~ By fobben HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, March 21.—I suppose little Patricia Trav- ers is too busy fiddling in concert to make it a steady proposi- tion, all the same I maintain there’s a place in Hollywood for a child like her. Patricia is one of the talented violinists in “The Hard-Boiled Canary.” She floats through a concerto or a symphony like the musical wizard she is, but even without her violin she could lift movies out of ruts. Patricia plays a role as well as her fiddle in this movie, and the role is that of chronic doubter, skeptic, and cold-water-thrower. “Canary” is about Camp Interlochen, the Michigan music cen- ter. Pat is the child who just doesn’t like music. ' She's there because her mama and ‘papa sent her. Sure, she'll play. Shell saw away at the derned notes but tshe doesn't mind telling the world she'd rather be at the beach. She’s pretty kflllnlnt about it. In a picture like this one, in which misfit Susanna Foster undergoes regeneration to come through for dear old Inter- lochen and all its ideals, little Patrocia runs great interference for the players carrying the plot ball. When the other children’s talk about music and dear old Interlochen runs the risk of stum- ling on a cloud, Pat steps in to drag the proceedings down to earths When the plot makes much to-do about whether Sussanna or someone else shall sing in the audition, Pat pronounces, PERCY’S CAFE i “I1 never see why she wants to sing it, anyway,” — thus totally disarming, in advance, any cynics in the audience who might harbor the same notion. Yes, there’s a career here for a kid like Pat, talking for and back to the audiefice. Just picture her at one of those steeple~ chase movies, looking candidly at the heroine whose hero has just taken a nasty spill. “So he's broken his neck, so what?" says Pat. “The sécond lead’s better-looking. What've you got to lose?” % Or standing by as Poor Old Grandma trudges sadly over the hill: “Don't be a dope, Granny. It's a dirty old dump you're leaving — ‘and the- poorhouse ain't half-bad, what with the abundant life and all.” . You can”just see her explaining things as the star, having trained for three weeks, steps into the ring to knock out the plug-ugly professional hired to kiss the canvas: “Sorry, folks, but it's that way in the scirp.” And in some of these backstage musicals, our Pat would be a pearl beyond price. When the little cherine was being snubbed by the snotty star in the first reel, Pat could step in, trip up the snooter so she'd break a leg and couldn’t go on, and the little chorine could step out right then — without bothering about reels 3, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and let ’em have her sensational 1 Weuldn't you Jike to have Pat back again, really, now? .
