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

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. Early in the sea
son with the Red Sox, lie failed
to win while losing two.

HOOD RIVER, July 30 (UP)
A fire of undetermined origin
which swept through the cold
storage plant of the Apple Grow
ers association at Odell early
Sunday was estimactd today to
have cost the owners around
$120,000. A grocery store and two
homes next the plant were also
destroyed.
Fire fighting equipment from
nearby communities was called
to assist in quelling the blaze
which lasted three hours.
Firemen said the blaze broke
out at about 6;30 a.m. in the Laf.
ferty & Woods grocery with
flames spreading to the cold
storage plant and then to the
homes of the Lnffeity' and Woods
families behind the grocery.
Fruit growers pondered the
question of where to store the
huge pear crop which is to be
harvested beginning August 20.
The plant, which had a capacity
of 00,000 boxes, will not be re-
buiit now due to shortage of
materials.

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.

Industry Must
Not 'Dawdle'
DEARBORN, Mich., July 30
(UP) Henry Ford, king of the
auto industry, today marked his
82nd birthday with an eye to the
future and a prediction of great
and "unequalled prosperity" if
industry does not "dawdle."
He declared il is his belief
"the nation and the world are on
the threshold of prosperity and
standard of living never before
considered possible."
"But," he said, "employment
hinges on the right of private
industry to go forward unham
pered. There must be more and
more industry; more and more
competition for greater excel
lence in quality. These will bring
more and more employment."
Ford aserted "event in the last
six years have shaken us from
our complacent attitude."
"Labor should be educated so
it may know and understand the
problems of industry and the full
benefits of cooperation. Industry
wants to help in that education if
given the opportunity," Ford said.

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.
