Miss Grayson enacts the alluring young singer who returns to New York from a triumphant European tour determined to recapture the doctor-husband whom, in a fit of temperament, she had divorced a few years previously. The fact that he has meanwhile become enamored of Paula Raymond, attractive daughter of a medical associate, does not deter the ex-wife from using every wile at her command to break up the new romantic attachment. When all else fails, she contracts a rious ailment, known as “Func- tional Aphonia,” and loses her voice. Johnson is informed by the best medical advice that unless he wishes to run his former wife's opera ca- reer he must co-operate ih restor- ing her “emotional security,” a res- toration which will insure the return of her voice. When the young doctor, therefore, does his best to afd in Miss Grayson’s recovery, Miss Raymond is brought to feel that his “co-operation” goes too far. The I resulting three-fold dilemma brings about a series of hilarious romantic complication ending on a high note of laughter and song. | Van Johnson again reveals his flair for light comedy in an ingrati- ating portrait of the young doctor caught between his ex-wife and fi- ancee, the new role also giving him an opportunity to reveal his skill at dancing a snappy Charleston. Miss Grayson is delightful as the glamorous and flirtations diva, who offers her glowing voice in excerpts of “La Boheme,” “Carmen” (this is done in a fanciful dream sequence with Johnson also participating), and Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “Hymn to the Sun.” Extra Innings for All Except Seatile By the Associated Press The baseball patrons really got their money’s worth in the Pacific Coast League last night. Two games were decided in the tenth inning, another in the twelfth, # |and only Seattle had-a fairly easy 8 |doubled in the twelfth Public Invited. | Portland, driving in Leo Thomas| 833-3t | with the winning run in a 4 to 3 | time winning from San Diego, 5 to |1, in the regulation nine innings. The four games drew 24,105 fans. George Schmees, Hollywood’s hard-hitting outfielder, smashed a | two-bagger in the last of the tenth |to drive in Gene Handley with the |run that beat Los Angeles, 2 to 1. | The victory kept the Stars four | games behind the pace-setting Se- |attle Rainiers. | Brooks Holder, veteran outfielder, inning at |victory over Sacramento.

At San Frandisco, Dale Long slammed a home run in the last of | the tenth to give the Seals a 7 to 6 | decision over Oakland. The Acorns | tied up the contest in the ninth with |a four-run outburst. Fireman Joe | Page, once a power with the Yan- kees and now with San Francisco, {had to leave the game in the seventh |inning, not because he was being hit hard, but because of a sore arm. | Page was ahead at the time, 5 to 2. Al Lyons collected his 16th homer of the year for Seattle and his second in as many nights. It was one of his three hits in the 15 the Rainiers fashioned off three San Diego pitchers., Marv Grissom re- gistered his 17th pitching victory.

Rosen, Mize Come Through fo Keep Leaders Tied By the Pennant Associated Press re won by clutch hit- ters like Cleveland’s Al Rosen and New Y Johnny Mize. Because these two long ball hitters came through under pressure the Indians and Yar e still tied for the American league lead Rosen smashed a two-run homer with the re tied to give Cleveland a 6-4 shade over the stubborn Chi- cago W Sox last night. Mi hit a homer and drove in two runs for the 3-1 margin over Philadely ‘ As a result the Indians and Yanks remain an exact 67-39 tie with seven weeks to go. Boston, a 6-4 winner over Washington, is 4% lengths back and Chicago has dropped eight games behind. Out of the pennant race but very much in the running for most valuable player is Ned Garver of St. Louis whose 14th victory was a neat 4-2 job on Detroit. Just to make it sure, Garver came up with four hits, including a double Rain washed out most of the first division action in the National last night, postponing the ‘Boston at Brookly: York games. St. Louis nipped Cin- cinnati, 4-3, in 10 innings on pitcher Gerry St loaded and two out. In the after- noon Mel Queen of Pittsburgh shut out Chicago, 3-0, for his first vic- tory since May 13. This man Rosen of the Indians doesn’t waste many homers. Four- teen of his 18 came in winnir games. Three were wasted in losses. The other helped the Tribe to a tie. Mize backed up Ed Lopat's steady six-hit pitching to hang a seventh loss on Sad Sam Zoldak. Maflhéws Deal Leads To Bill Querying Boxing, Wrestling WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 — (B — Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) yes- terday introduced a bill in the Senate calling for an investigation of professional boxing and wrestling. The proposed inquiry is an out- growth of the question: Why didn’t Harry (Kid) Matthews, Seattle lightheavyweight contender, get a crack at champion Joey Maxim ahead of “Irish” Bob Murphy? Matthews gave Murphy a sound beating recently but the Interna-! tional Boxing Association gave Murphy the chance at the title. West Point Squad fo Be Palchwork Affair WEST POINT, N.Y,, Aug. 11—(P— Army’s 1951 football team will come from a squad composed of two of } last year’s varsity, 19 from the 1950 plebe outfit, 10 from the “B” squad and perhaps some members of the class that entered the academy this summer. The 31-man roster released by the academy yesterday listed only two members of last year's 45-man;: “A” squad. They are Ed Weaver of Kingston, N.Y., and John Kro- boek - of Hableton, Pa. Both are ends. ,;The team that was expected to agdin make Army gridiron power was torn asunder by the directive approving dismissal of 90 students for violating the academy’s honor code. Coach Earl (Red) Blaik, whose quarterbacking son is one of the players lost to the squad, doubts if Army can find enough players to make the squad as numerically strong as last fall. - L CHINESE NURSE WINS BRITISH SCHOLARSHIP HONG KONG—(/—A Hong Kong Chinese nurse has won the British | Red Cross Society nursing schol- arship for 1951/52.
