Oberon, Muni In 'Song to Remember' Perfectly Cast ' Within the walls of the Lib erty theater, where Columbia Pictures is currently presenting "A Song to Remember," starring Paul Muni and Merle Oberon and featuring Cornel Wilde, is occurring that rare thing m pic ture presentation a perfeect t accord between film and audi ence. For two solid hours, the screen is filled with glorious music, tempestuous romance, in a story of the most romantic man and woman of the nineteenth century Frederic Chopin, the composer of lilting melodies and George Sand, the pants-wearing novelist of many loves. With most of the story taking place in Paris, there are also se quences in Poland, Chopin's homeland; at Nohant, Madame Sand's country place not far from Paris; and on the Mediterranean island of Majorca. In the role of George Sand, Merle Oberon nlso is in a happy position with the, audience. She's gentle and alluring, yet ut the same time ruthless and savage completely unforgettable. Paul Muni, as Eisner, gives something more than an expert Muni portrayal. Cornel Wilde's Chopin, a gen ius, slightly weak, yet complete ly lovable and human, is electri fying. Big feet and hands are consid ered attractive in Samoa.

Today's Sport Parade By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, July 30 (UP) Through t h e fading echoes of criticism that accompanied Pitcher Hank Borowy's shift from the Yanks of the American league to the Cubs of the national circuit, Borowy has gone all-out to prove the ancient baseball adage: "A change in uniform is usually bene ficial for any player. Borowy seemed to be a natural Yank, because he first disting uished himself as a pitcher for Fordham in the Bronx, and later went through three seasons with the Yanks farm club, Newark, N. J., before being elevated to the New York stadium in 1042. He pitched well for the Yanks during the past three seasons; but this year he was not doing so well when President Larry Mac Phail of the Yanks put the fin ger upon him as one of the play ers who had failed to deliver. And he was ousted from the club that pays such good salaries. Slated Whether Borowy was sore at being cast adrift from the Yanks, or whether he was elated at estab lishing a connection with the Cubs who had a very good chance to win the national flag, is not known. Anyway, he made his first pitching start with the Cubs yesterday and registered a 3-2 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds. Borowy was lucky in this first Services Misc. 15 THE FIXIT SHOP Make this your headquarters for all your repairing. Try us first, phono 487-w, 21H ir at.

He is known a3 a "front runner" a pitcher who does best when his club is ahead. Bill "Swish" Nicholson bopped a two-run homer in the first inning to give him an ad vantage. However, Hank gave up only one earned run, and showed no indications of the arm trouble that had prevented him from fin ishing his last previous five starts with the Yanks. Won Seven Borowy may have benefited from the uniform change like other major leaguers who put on new duds this season. Take Pitcher Joe Bowman, for exam ple. Joe seemed to have out-lived his usefulness with the Boston Red Sox. Unclaimed on waivers by the other seven American League clubs, the right-hander went to the Reds. With Cincin nati, Bowman became almost im mediately the Reds' most effec tive pitcher. When he lost to the Cubs, 4-1, in the first game of yesterday's double -header, it marked his third defeat against eight victories.

Nelson Appears To Have First Place Cinch CHICAGO, July 30 (UP) Golf's great name players, such as Lt. Ben Hogan, Sammy Snead, Jug McSpaden and Gene Sara zen, fight for second place in the rich ail-American open tourna ment today as Byron Nelson tees off for the final round virtually assured of the record $13,600 war bond first prize. Nelson, who sprang from a Ft. Worth, Tex., caddy yard to be come the game's greatest money winner, begins the final 18 holes with a 54-hole total of 202 strokes, 14 under par and six ahead of his old rival and former "gold dust twin," McSpaden. If Nelson wins, several new records go into the books, such as (1) a new all-time mark of nine straight individual tournament victories; (2) fourth victory in the five-year history of . the all American, (3) $45,00 in war bonds in seven months of one year, and (4) undoubtedly a new winning stroke record as he needs only a 75 to break the 278. mark he set in taking the 1941 tournament. McSpaden, who has become golfdom's champion runnerup while pushing Nelson to new rec ords, is six strokes to the rear. Hogan, for three years the game's top money takeer before entering the army in 1942, is seven be hind with 209 strokes. Snead, the easy-swinging West Virgin ian, trails by eight as do Sarazen, Sgt. E. J. (Dutch) Harrison and the brilliant Toledo, O., amateur, Flight Officer Frank Stranahan. With Nelson and McSpaden running one-two again, the tour nament is in a familiar pattern. Nelson posted a four under par 68 yesterday and McSpaden dup licated his score to vault from seventh to econd place as Sara zen slipped from the runnerup spot to third with a 72 and Hogan shot a 70 to nead's and Harri son's 71s.

These will bring more and more employment." Ford aserted "event in the last six years have shaken us from our complacent attitude."

BOROWY DRAWS NEW YORK, July 30 (UP) Hank Borowy's pitching debu. with the Chicago Cubs, the na tional league leaders, drew 44,836 pennant-hungry fans to Wrigley Field yesterday and that was tho largest crowd among the seven at major league parks, at which to tal attendance was 174,042. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER Phone 600 Complete Local Reports : ; Monday, July 30, 1945 Borowy Deal Appears To Help Both Clubs By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, July 30 (UP) Both the pennant - bound Cubs and the hide-bound Yankees cashed early dividends today on the much-discussed Hank Borowy deal. The Cubs benefited tangibly pitcher Borowy got off to a 3 to 2 winning start to give them a double victory over the Reds at Chicago. Another, Hank Wyse, took the opener, 4 to 1, for his 15th win. The. wily Wyse, who hasn't had relief in any winning start this season, let the Reds have 11 hits but toyed with them when men were on base. The victories ran Chicago's string over Cincinnati to 13 wins with out a defeat this season. Borowy would have had a one-run game except for a fly which Bill Nich olson lost in the sun. Nicholson had the lapse coming, however. He started the Cubs to victory with a two-run homer. Win Pair The Yankees haven't gotten any of the "several" players to be included with the $100,000 re portedly paid by the Cubs for Borowy, but the psychological benefit of the deal probably help ed them win two from the Ath letics at New York, 2 to 1 and 11 to 3. President Larry M a c P h a i 1, warning there would be other deals and that they might not involve shifts to teams in the pennant picture, had the players keyed to a high pitch. Fearful of losing out with the best play ing club in baseball, there was a spirit evident tha thas b?en lack ing for a long time. The twin win put the Yankees back in second place, four games behind Detroit.
