BATTLEGROUND'
IS SHOWING AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
A motion picture that everyone
has been waiting for — the first
down-to-earth story of the 0.1. 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, battle-scarred sol
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 a
French town called Bastogne.
And here we get a 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.

Dumped Back,
2nd Division
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sports writer)
Charley Dressen, manager of the
Oakland Acorns, finds himself in the
same happy circumstances today
that confronted Walter Hagen dur
ing his golfing prime.
Hagen would saunter up to the
first tee. gaze down the fairway and
remark casually:
“Well, I wonder who’s going to
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, the
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
handed batters. When Dressen
switched to lefty, Richards count
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, while his
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 ti»e Solons.

ENNIS KEEPS
PHILLIES AT
TOP IN RACE
(By the Associated Press)
When the time comes to vote for
the National League's most valu
able player please don’t overlook one
Del Ennis.
You'll never get Manager Eddie
Sawyer to admit it, but the mus
cular Philly outfielder has been the
most vital performer among the
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, Curt Simmons and
Bob Miller — have come through
handsomely. The trio owns 36 vic
tories. Roberts won his 13th game
yesterday as the Phils swept a
double header from the Pittsburgh
Pirates. 10-0 and 4-2.
Every Philly has done his bit.
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.
The 25-year-old native of Phila
delphia has been the batting terror
of the league in the Phils' current
home stay in the Phils' last eight
games, of which they’ve won seven,
Ennis has clubbed enemy pitching
for 13 hits in 30 times at bat.
Except for driving in seven runs
with a pair of home runs, a double
and single, Ennis had a somewhat
mild afternoon yesterday.
In American League
While the Phils were increasing
their National League lead, the New
York Yankees moved to within two
percentage points of the American
League’s pace-setting Detroit Tigers.
The Yankees swept both ends of a
doubleheader from Chicago’s White
Sox, 15-7 and 4-3. The Tigers were
forced to come from behind to out
last the Philadelphia Athletics,
12-10. They spotted the A's a 7-2
lead, then came up with eight runs
in the fifth. Vic Wertz banged his
20t,h homer for Detroit and George
Kell drove in four runs with three
hits.
Cleveland’s third place Indians
fell two games off the pace, split

STANWYCK, NIVEN
IN "OTHER LOVE,"
AT 20TH CENTURY
Once again Erich Maria Remar
que has contributed a significant
chapter to motion picture history.
His “The Other Love." unpublished
to date, will make its appearance to
night on the screen at the Gross
20th Century Theatre, Barbara
Stanwyck, David Niven and Rich
ard Conte are in the leading roles.
Briefly, this is the story of Karen
Duncan, a concert pianist who col
lapses after a strenuous tour and
is sent to a Swiss Alpine sanitarium
to recover her strength. At first
she rebels at the total inactivity
prescribed for her, especially the
prohibition against piano playing.
But because of her growing affec
tion for the doctor, she comes to
accept her new routine.
Then a dynamic auto racer ar
rives in the near-by village, sweeps
Karen off her feet and persuades
her to run away to the Riviera with
him. She resisists at first, but be
comes convinced that she will never
regain hsr health regardless of the
doctor's words of encouragement,
and determines to live to the full
whatever time remains to her.
The end of the story is inevit
able. Karen’s stepped up pace is too
much for her and, as her strength
fails, she turns instinctively to the
doctor and the sanitarium where,
during the last days of her life, she
gains the calm serenity that results
from acceptance of one’s fate and
the secure love of the doctor.
ting a doubleheader with the Bos
ton Red Sox. The Indians won the
opener, 6-5, 'out the Sox won the
nightcap, 6-3.
Washington swept a twin bill f^m
the St. Louis Browns, 9-5 and 13-8.
Home runs by Sam Mole and Irv
Noren featured the Nats first game
triumph. An eight-run uprising in
the ninth won the nightcap.
Three National League contenders,
the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston
Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers all
won. The Cards snapped New York’s
nine-game winning streak, whipping
the Giants, 6-3.
The Braves wrested third place
from the Dodgers by three percent
age points with a double win over
Cincinnati, 4-2, and 10-0. Johnny
Antonelli, $70,000 bonus youngster,
posted his first victory of the sea
son for the Braves with the five-hit
shutout in the nightcap.
Brooklyn beat Bob Rush for the
ninth straight time as Don New
combe hurled a five hitter over the
Cubs with a 7-2 win. Homers by
Pee Wee Reese and F.oy Cam
panella featured a five-run fifth
inning uprising.
The Card victory over the Giants
ended in a sour note when Red
Schoendienst, their flashy second
baseman was charged with his first
error in 58 consecutive games. The
All-Star game hero drew an error
one out before the end of the game
when his relay from the outfield
struck runner Monte Irvin on the
head as he came into third.
