ONDAY, JULY 31, 1950 'BATTLEGROUND' IS SHOWING AT CAPITOL THEATRE A motion picture that everyone has been waiting for — the first down-to-earth story of the G.I. of World War II, sans flag-waving and mock heroics—has been brought to the screen in “Battleground,” M-G-M’'s impressive Dore Schary production, now showing at the Capitol Theatre. Taking the members of a squad in the 101st Airborne Division as its pivotal characters, ‘Battle- ground” gives you the laughs, the tears, the bravery, the cowardice, the griping, the bantering, the bore- dom and the guts of a cross-section of American G.I’s. In the fateful December of 1944 this squad of mud- stained, weary, diers is awakened from reports of crumpled Nazi resistance and dreams of Paris furloughs to find itself once again on the move to make a stand against the Krauts at 2 French town called Bastogne. And here we get & close-up of | some of these bedraggled “Scream- ing Eagles”—Holley (Van Johnson), carefree six-footer with a weakness for gals, gags and purloined eggs; Jarvess (John Hodiak), cynical small-town reporter whose own edi- torials inspired him to enlist; “Pop” (George Murphy), thirty-five plus, sweating out his discharge; Rod- erigues (Ricardo Montalban), cour- ageaus California Mexican; Wolo- wicz (Bruce Cowling), combat loving squad leader; “Kipp” (Douglas Fowley), typical “wise guy”; Standi- ferd (Don Taylor), second in com- mand and leery of inheriting the squad leader’s job; Bettis (Richard Jaeckel), who has 'undergone one shelling too many; Layton (Marshall Thompson), the naive new replace- ment, and a number of others.

Hagen would saunter up to the first tee, gaze down the fairway and remark casually: “Well, finish second.” The Oaks hold a fat nine game lead in the Pacific Coast League “race” today, and it begins to look as if nothing short of a miracle will keep them from winning an- other pennant — the way Casey Stengel’s nine old men did in 1948. Oakland dumped Seattle back into | the second division Sunday by cop- ping both ends of a double header, 12 to 5 and 3 to 2. It was a blue chip climax to a big series week, as second place Hollywood lost its sev- enth and eighth straight to Port- land, 5-4 and 7-2. San Francisco moved into fourth place by clouting Sacramento, thef cellar club, 4-1 and 4-2. San Diego completed the day of double kill- ings by knocking off Los Angeles, 11-7 and 5-4. In Seattle, the Acorns have won five out of nine games. Another one is slated tonight. Yesterday's sec- ond game went into overtime, and Oakland won it in the eighth when Seattle’s Guy Fletcher balked home the deciding tally. The opener started as another battle of wits between Dressen and Seattle’s pilot, Paul Richards. When Dressen started a righthanded pitcher, Richards came up with left | Dressen | switched to lefty, Richards count- | handed batters. When ered with right handed pinch hit- ters. It didn’t work though—for Seattle. The Oaks hopped on Charley Schanz for six runs and turned the thing into a rout. Timely punch and pitching kept | Portland rolling over faltering Holly- wood. Mickey Rocco's ninth inning homer decided the first one. In the afterpiece, Red Lynn checked the Stars with three hits, buddies collected 10. | At San Francisco, the proceedings were equally pathetic. The twin con- quest gave the Seals a 7 to 1 series verdict over t.e Solons.

You'll never get Manager Eddie Sawyer to admit it, but the mus- cular Philly outfielder has been the most, vital performer host of good looking kids on the hustling club. Ennis, more than any player on the club, is most re- sponsible for its position on top of the heap today. Sure, the three bonus pitchers — Robin Roberts, Bob Miller — have come through tories. yesterday as the Phils swept a double header from the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-0 and 4-2. But in the final analysis, it has been Ennis and his big bat who has put the Phils in first place — and is keeping them there.
