Spain a Menace
To Allied Invasion
Del Vayo Declares

South American Fascism
Openly Encouraged by
Franco Spain



Goodhart, April 19. Julio Al-
verez Del Vayo, addressing the
eighth War Assembly on Spain
and the War, expressed his opin-
ion that Franco Spain constitutes
a hazard to an Allied invasion and
is the root of the United States’
South American difficulties. The
Spanish war of 1936-1939 was, in
his opinion, the first battle of
World War II. Pointing out that
“it is very difficult to be neutral in
this war’, he traced .the history
and hopes of Spain in this conflict
from the angle of her _ present
predicament.

The Spanish Republicans have
never admitted France’s neutral-
ity, a fact “surprising only be-
cause it took so long to recognize”,
Mr. Del Vayo said. When Mr.
Stettinius and the British govern-
ment proposed sending aid to
Spain, Mr. Del Vayo opposed it on
the ground that all material relief
goes to Germany. This, however,
has not influenced Argentina and
other South American countries
that send supplies.

“Next month will prove whether
or not it was too dangerous to al-

.low the Franco regime to contin-

Maids’, Porters’ Show
Reveals Comic Talent



The success of the Maids’ and
Porters’ production of “Gems
Gowns and Gals” by Charles
George was an immediate result
of the spirit of the actors and the
enthusiastic response of the audi-
ence. Rather than being hindered
by the unfinished acting and lack
of stage presence, the perform-
ance was heightened by the hilar-
ity of the easy informality.

The plot of the one act play
centers in the discovery of a no-
torious. jewel thief by a disguised
detective and an ingenious model.
Nokomis White of Wyndham
showed great initiative in her in-
terpretation of the leading role,
while Merion’s Al Mackey was
outstanding in his interpretation of
the jealous and affectionate lover.
These two sang the expressive
duet, “Say Yes”.

Playing the part of a detective
disguised as a woman, Louis
White of Denbigh displayed real
comic talent. Clad in a_ white
turban and silk print dress, Louis
stole the show in his rendering of
an embarrassed old maid on a
shopping tour.

Louise Jones of Pembroke was
charming as Gaston de Vere’s as-
sistant and showed exceptional
poise and stage presence. The dif-
ficult role of Gastcn, complete
with French accent and fluttering
gestures, was admirably portrayed
by Pearl Edmonds of Taylor.
Swaggering on the stage in an
enormous fedora, Minnie Newton
of Pembroke had difficulty in con-
trolling her laughter which added
to the general spirit of fun that
pervaded the comedy.

Denbigh’s Hilda Bryan and Mer-
ion’s Vivian Drew were very con-
vincing as the New York snobs

Comparison of Art
Of West and Orient
Discussed by Yahkub

Goodhart, April 19. {n the last
in his series of lectures on Indian
Culture, Mr. Yahkub discussed
Indian Art, its aesthetic values as
formulated by the oriental mind
and the general forms in which it
appears.

‘Declaring that western medie-
val and oriental concepts of. art
are united in the belief that the
artist and the object meet, he
quoted Dante’s statement: “Who
paints a figure, if he cannot be it,
he cannot draw.it.” No art can be
judged, he said, until we put our-
selves in the place of the artist,
and thus the self-identification of
artist with object, and- spectator
with artist repeats the process of
creation.

Taking the icon as an exam-
ple, he declared Indian art to be
ideal, not in appearance, but in
operation. The formal element of
art represents intellectual activity,
as the icon is not natural in ap-
pearance, but rather an ideal rep-
resentation of ‘the parts of God.
Thus a mental rather than visual
ability to relate these parts is re-
quired. Defects in the work of
the artist are remedied by the
spectators’ fixed views of the con-
cept which the artist is trying to
express. Worship is thereby paid
to an image mentally conceived
and the knower and known, the
seer and seen meet in the act.

A major difference between ori-
ental and western art is. that the
former represents a continuous
state of things, not as they are at
the moment, “but as they are in
their source.” This disinterest. in
transient effects is reflected in the
lack of historical interest in In-
dian art, Mr. Yahkub said. Occi-
dentals might consider Indian art
monotonous as the subjects are
modeled on formal lines.

Indian art is further character-

Smoothness, Zeal
Mark Production
Of‘Charley’s Aunt’:

Charles Ryrie Deserves
Top Honors for Lead
Role in Play



by Thelma Baldesarre, ’47

Roberts Hall, April 21. “I’m
Charley’s Aunt from Brazil, where
the nuts come. from,” simpered
Lord Fancort Babberley (alias
Charles C. Ryrie, ’46), and the lid
was off on an uproarious per-
formance of Charley’s Aunt by
the Haverford Cap and Bells Club
and the Bryn Mawr Players’ Club.

A bit dull in the first few min-
utes, the play quickly gained mo-
mentum and kept on going in
high. The dialogue went with al-
most professional smoothness
and a good deal more zeal, while
timing, staging and various other
mechanical matters were expertly
handled.

Laurels

Top laurels for acting went to
Charles Ryrie. He did full justice
to a meaty part, even adding to
its comic possibilities by his res-
trained slapstick. Where he
learned the delicate craft of re-
fusing proposals (“I couldn’t be
happy. with a man like that’) is
unknown, but he is a master. He
also boasts a knack for matter of
fact phrasing of odd statements.
“Where’s my antimacassar?” he
asks in an offhand fashion or “Six
pence worth of hairpins, Brassett.”’
This subdued manner carried Lord
Fancourt nicely over his melodra-
matic moments, though he was
undoubtly more—convincingas-an
aunt than as a young lover.

Costumes

For the rest, Gerry Pattison,
’47 and Nanette Emery, °47 drift-
ed about in lovely “period” cos-
tumes accompanied by_John Ar-
nett, Jr., 47 and Roger Bacon, ’47
in rather modern plaid shirts. All
four were quite competent, but
they had no particularly brilliant
lines. There were several .awk-
ward moments, as in the clumsily
done love’ scenes, for instance,
which seemed as much the fault
of the script as of the actors.

Frank Martin, ’47 interpreted
with humorous understanding a
plump and somewhat hammy col-
onel, while Laurence Steefel, ’47
as little Spettigue, another mid-
dle-aged gallant, came close to
stealing the show in spots. The bit
players too were all that could be
desired.

Sets were effective and lighting,

Poetry, “Emotion’s Precipitate”, Should. Have
Underlying Continuity, Says Marianne Moore



by Patricia Behren, ’46

Asked to define her idea of po-
etry, Miss Marianne Moore, one
of the most distinguished modern
poets, said that she feels poetry is
“fact plus imagination”, as has
been suggested by Wallace Stev-
ens.

“A poem”, she_ stated, “should
have a continuity, should have an
effect of underlying continuity. It
should be articulated throughout
as are the joints in a vertebrate.”
“Poetry,” she continued, “is emo-
tion’s precipitate”.

Asked what she believes to be
the place of poetry in the world



today, Miss Moore stated, “First
of all, I think it must be personal
and a thing inevitable for the
writer before it has a place in the
world at large.”

Miss Moore said that her ad-
vice to young poets was not to
undertake a subject unless irre-
sistably attracted to it. “Feel-
ing”, she said, “should be your
guide.” Writing, Miss Moore
continued, should be trying to set
down “an unbearable accuracy.”
Poetry, she explained, cannot
written to order. -

“I would refuse to-write”, said
Miss Méore, “if I didn’t feel im-
pelled to write.”

A New Magazine

The Lantern is dying on its feet. The feeling of its edit-
ors that it should be allowed to die its natural death is shared
by the campus as a whole. In view of this, we suggest that
a new literary magazine, with a new heritage, be set up, in
the belief that though the Lantern is dead, the creative writ-
ing of the campus is not.

In the last issue of the News, the editor of the Lantern
advocated the discontinuation of the magazine, at least for
the “duration.” This statement was made in answer to gen-
eral campus comment, and an editorial in the News, suggest-
ing a renovation of the Lantern, in the hope of giving it the
new life necessary to regain its original prestige in the col-
lege.

In advocating its abandonment, the editor stated that “a
lack of interest, a lack of material—based- on more than the
apathy which a good publicity campaign could overeome—
and also the salient fact of a lack of funds” had made it im-
practical to continue publication at this time.

With this we agree. Students have a feeling of disin-
terest and contempt for the Lantern, a feeling generated by
the very nature of the magazine. Within the last few years
it has become unrepresentative, typifying only what has
come to be called “the Lantern style.” The attitude of the
upperclassmen has been absorbed by the Freshmen, and ‘at
this time the Lantern appears to be hopelessly lost in a mo-
rass of unfavorable prejudice.

If the campus in general, and the present editorial board
of the Lantern in particular, feel as they do about the maga-
zine, then by all means it should be discontinued. This does
not, however, preclude the possibility of the institution of
another literary magazine, entirely new, free from the tra-
ditional stigmas of the Lantern.

We have heard again and again that there is a “dearth
of literary material on campus.” Such a statement is entirely
unfounded. In an unofficial survey made recently over fifty
undergraduates were found ready to contribute to a literary
magazine other than the Lantern. In addition to the work
of the Experimental Writing classes, material of real value is
turned in not only in English Composition, but in Mr. Au-
den’s course in Verse.

There is no dearth of material. There is merely a lack
‘of interest in the present magazine. We believe that a new
one, with a new name and board, and a fresh start, would
succeed in attracting these contributions,

The institution of a new campus organ is a thoroughly
practical idea. Subsidy could be obtained from the Under-
graduate Association, or from interested alumnae. With
enough capital to enable the magazine to return to a regu-
lar, printed format, an opportunity for advertising would be

provided, and the way made clear for the new organization

to rise to financial independence.

The new magazine can survive no better than the Lan-

tern without campus support. Interest in the Lantern has
_long since petered out, but interest in writing has not dis-
from the campus. A new magazine, formed by and

for popular interest would succeed.

Modern Dance Group
To Present Program

The Modern Dance Club of Bryn
Mawr will present Malvena. Taiz
in a program of solo and group
dances on Wednesday, May 38. The
Bryn Mawr Modern Dance Group
and the Malvena Taiz Dancers will
assist in the recital, which will be
held in the gymnasium at eight-
thirty.

The program is an opportunity
for those who have never seen
modern dancing to watch and dis-
cuss the subject. Samples of tech-
nique will be shown in the Bryn
Mawr Group studies of Leaps and
Falls, and~in a waltz by Ravel.
Mrs. Taiz and her/group will do
the interpretive dancing.

Mrs. Taiz, a well-known. Phila-
delphia dancer, who has appeared
both in New York and Philadel-
phia, will do several solos, one of
which is called “Et Cetera” by E.
E. Cummings. In this number the
poem will be read by a reader.







International Labor Organization

The present conference of the International Labor Or-
ganization at Philadelphia offers interesting suggestions as
to the attitudes and influences which will dominate post-war
attempts at international cooperation. All the participants
indicate a willingness to cooperate, but the larger nations
appear unwilling to surrender any of their sovereign rights,
a procedure essential to the effective operation of joint ac-
tion. Further, a disinclination to accept on an equal basis
those nations with fascist affiliations is apparent.

An organization of delegates from countries interested
in cooperation on international labor policy, the ILO meets
periodically to discuss such problems as may arise. It is com-
posed of four delegates from each member nation, two rep-
resenting government, one representing labor, and one man-
agement. s

The first indications that national sovereignty remains
the keynote of government policy in the United States and
Britain appeared in the Philadelphia conference when the
Australian delegate proposed that a committee be constitut-

ed as a means of stabilizing high rate of employment after,

the war, with a decision binding upon the member govern-
ments. The American labor delegate offered an alternative
proposal that national economic policy be coordinated by
those concerned: labor, management, and government. This
was accompanied by support of the principle of internation-
al cooperation, but it does not erase the stigma of American
cpposition to the Australian proposal as an effective means
of putting this principle into practice.

Further, the recent Russian demand that a new ILO,
based upon the United Nations, be formed, serves to indicate
Russian national aspirations of dominating internatioal labor
discussions. The present ILO is a part of the League of Na-
tions machinery and is financed by League funds. Since Rus-
sia was expelled from the League following her attack upon
Finland in 1939, she has consistently refused to send dele-
gates to any ILO conferences, despite the pleas of the Allies
that-she participate.

The attempt of the smaller nations to atnal the Argen-
tinian labor delegate indicates a refusal on the part of United
Nations members to deal with organizations influenced by
fascist propaganda, even in discussions dealing chiefly with
post-war problems. This attitude, if continued, does not bode

well for effective post-war cooperation, but it is quite poss-!

ible that the lesser of the United Nations will recede from
such a conclusive position when the fervor of war spirit has
ceased to be such a decisive factor.

Opinion



Behrens Stresses Abilities
Of Common Treasurer
Nominees

Dear Editor.

I have been asked by the mem-
bers of the Sophomore Class Nom-
inating Committee, elected to
choose nominees for the office of
Common Treasurer, to set forth
the policy adopted by the Commit-
tee in making its choice.

We strongly and sincerely feel
that in a class as large as_ ours
there is much “unused talent”.
Many good and dependable peo-

ple were shoved into the _back-
ground of class affairs in the
chaos of Freshman year. There

they have remained, working hard
and well at important but seldom-
publicized jobs. We feel that,
when possible, they should be giv-
en a chance to show their ability
in larger and more’ impressive
college offices. Common Treasur-
er, being a new and relatively in-
dependent office, is one in which
the individual does not need to
have served an apprenticeship on
an organization board.

On the other hand, we believe
that only people who have been
consistently holding large campus
offices are truly eligible. for cer-
tain elections. We would hardly
think, for instance, of nominating
someone next spring for Self-Gov-
ernment president who is not al-
ready well acquainted with the du-
ties of the office.

We do feel, though, that in an
office such as Common Treasurer
general ability and dependability
are of more importance than the
holding of a large number of oth-
er offices. In fact, the treasurer’s
office requires so much time that
one cannot perform its. duties
thoroughly while continuing to
hold overly-many offices.

To conclude, we hope
voting the college will seriously
econsider—our-—- choices. We feel
that the nominees are good repre-
sentatives of those who form the
strength of our class. We hope
that the college will agree with
us.

that. in

Very sincerely,
Patricia Brehrens, ’46

Owl Swimming Team
Ends 1943-44 Season

With a score of two victories
and two losses on its 1943-44 rec-
ord, the Varsity swimming team
have folded their water wings for
the season and settled down to
add up their points, patting them-
selves on their well-muscled backs.
Losing to Swarthmore and _ to
Penn, the team took a deeper
breath and conquered Baldwin and
finally Penn in a return meet.

To Ty Walker °45,~ consistent
winner of the backstroke event
for speed and captain of this year’s
varsity, goes the varsity individ-
ual cup, awarded to the member
of the team who won the greatest
number of points in all the meets
and in the interclass varsity meet
as well. This will be Ty’s second
year in possession of the silver
cup.

In the various non-varsity inter-
class meets that punctuated the
swimming season, Janet Hoopes
’44 took the honors, gaining the
majority of points in the three
mests, while
’44 won out in the non-varsity
diving. The class cup, in spite of
the two high-point Seniors, goes
to the class of 1947, with the Sen-_
iors taking second place, Sopho-



mores third, and Juniors the ig-



nominious last. -

Speakers Will Treat
Personnel Work for ‘
Government, Industry



Miss Florence McAnaney, per-
sonnel director ‘of the Eastman
Kodak Company, and Mrs. Marion
Pedraza, connected with the Ex-
amining Division of the United
States Civil Service. Commission,
will discuss personnel work as a
vocation on April 27, in the Dean-
ery, under the auspices of the Vo-
cational Committee.

Chief subject will be the oppor-
tunities for women in personnel
work in industry and in’ govern-
ment. The training that is neces-
sary, the experience required, the
salaries and the types of work,

as well as the present and future |'

possibilities in the field will be
dealt with at the meeting.

Mrs. McAnaney, the United
States Fuel Administrator in
charge of the communications

section during the First World
War, will stress industrial work.
Chairman of the Women’s Group
of the. Rochester Chamber of
Commerce,,Mrs. McAnaney has
worked in several banks and for
the past several years she has
been. affiliated with the Eastman
Kodak Company.

The governmental aspects of the
work will be dealt with by Mrs.
Pedraza. Her experience is a
good background for such a dis-
cussion. She has held a position
in the Department of Labor Em-
ployment Service and has _ also
worked as a member of the Social
Security Board. Her work on the
Philadelphia branch of the United
States Employment Service is
also a good basis for her discuss-
ion of governmental personnel
work.

Both of these women have spok-
en at Vocational Conferences at
other colleges. After their speech-
es there will be a question period
in which individual problems may
be brought up.

Del Vayo Discusses
Spain and the War |

Continued - from Page 1

ue”, stated Mr. Del Vayo. The
symptoms of Nazism,in Spain are
shown by the attitude of the
Spanish press, which is now agt-
tating for-peace. It suggests that
Russia is the menace, and that
the Allies should make a separate
peace with Germany, then build up
a “world coalition” against Rus-
sia. A second danger, Mr. Del
Vayo felt, is Spanish espionage
and airfield construction prepara-
tory to a counter-attack when the
Allies invade.

According to Mr. Del Vayo, the
“Spanish situation projects itself
in South America”, where a “great
Nazi conspiracy,” directed princi-
pally against the United States.
already exists. The Argentine
“coup d’etat” led to the building
up of a real Fascist party in
South America. Mr. Del Vayo
stated that agents are transport-
ed on Spanish ships, a procedure
which the British navy permits
since these are neutral.

Mr. Del Vayo said that in 1936
the Republicans were “fighting
not only in Spain, but for the
same cause for which we are fight-
ing now.” Emphasizing his con-
viction that Hitler will be defeat-

“ed, he outlined the three alterna-

tives for post-war Spain. Monar-
chy, he stated “is finished forever”,
and had its end in the democratic
election of April 14, 1931. The
Franco regime is odious to 90 per
cent of the Spanish .--population.
He feels that the people of Spain
have already chosen democracy as
their form of government and
that their present situation re-
quires thé expulsion of the Nazis
from Spain and a regime with
strong popular support.





Charley’s Aunt



Miss Moore Shows
Conflicts in Poetry
Of Precision, Feeling



Deanery, April 20. Taking as
her theme “The Continual Conflict
in Poetry Between Feeling and
Precision”, Marianne Moore, dis-
tinguished modern poet and Bryn
Mawr graduate, discussed the ef-
fects of precision upon poetic
style.

Miss Moore pointed out that in
order to write readable poetry it
is necessary.to combine precision
and feeling. “Poetry which is all
feeling, ” she said, “becomes cryp-
tic or over-condensed.”

In good poetry, however, pre-
cision appears spontaneous. “When
we think we don’t like art,” stat-
ed Miss Moore, “it is artificial
art.”

Baton

For an example to illustrate Aer
point, Miss Moore took the con-
ductor’s baton. Although the ba-
ton is used with the utmost pre-
cision, it starts so far back that

one cannot tell where the down
beat comes. :
It is true precision, however,

and-not-mere affectation which is
needed in poetry, she pointed out.
“Feeling”, said she, “has departed
from anything that has on it the
touch of affectation.”

“Writing”, concluded Miss
Moore, “is feeling modified by the

writer’s technical and moral in-
sights.”
Following the discussion, Miss

Moore read some of her own poems
and answered questions.

McMullan Collection

Of Italian Costumes



Bryn Mawr models will exhibit
a magnificent collection of Italian
costumes owned by Mrs. James
McMullan of Germantown, Penn-
sylvania, on May ist at 8:00
o’clock in the Deanery. Pointing
out many fascinating details which
otherwise would pass unnoticed,
Mrs. McMullan will accompany
the exhibition by an informal des-

‘| criptive talk.

Travelling in the most out-of-
the-way corners of Italy and the
adjacent islands, Sardinia in par-
ticular, Mrs. McMullan and her
husband: have spent many years
collecting men’s and women’s cos-
tumes as a hobby.

Many of the ancient examples
of peasant dress date back to pag-
an times. Many also come from
the mountain towns where Amer-
ican soldiers are now fighting.
Worth thousands of dollars, the
collection is shown only for edu-
cational purposes.

Berry fliccosoes Lack
Of Vitamins i in South

Dalton, April 25. Mr. L. J. Ber-
ry returned to the campus to
speak on “Human Nutritional
-Deficiencies.” Mr. Berry, who is
now doing research in the nutri-
tional clinic of the Hillman Hos-
pitla at Alabama, confined his re-
marks to the vitamin deficiency as
it exists in the South. “The peo-
ple who are victims of vitamin de-
ficiencies,’” Mr. Berry explained,
“are victims of a disease over
which neither they nor the south
has. any control, for it is a nation-
al problem.”

The most common causes of vit-
amin deficiency are “not eating
proper food in proper quantities,
glandular upset and food idiosyn-
cracies like the ‘Tea and Toast
League’ of Chicago who exclude

_«"*“everything else from their diet.”

In the South, however, the most
obvious reasons for vitamin defic-
iency is the unvaried diet consist-
ing of corn meal, pork and sugar.

Using slides to illustrate the
startling work that has been ac-
complished by the application of
vitamins, Mr .Berry discussed the
use of thymin, nicotinic acid and
riboflavin by the clinic. The treat-
ment in the Hallman Hospital for
those who have vitamin deficien-
cies is to restore the lacking vita-
mins and then to rehabilitate the
patients.

Conceptions of Art
_ Compared by Yahkub

Continued from Page |

ized by the philosophical belief
that beauty is not an object of
knowledge, but a hypersensitive
intuition of reality and identity.
Conceiving the universal presence
of reality as the immanence of the
absolute, Indians believe that the
absolute manifests itself in things
great and small. Any theme may
be the subject of art, and beauty
becomes reality as experienced by
the artist, and truth is reality ex-
perienced by the philosopher.

Perhaps the main technical dif-
ference between Indian art and
that of the western nations lies in
the artist’s approach to his object
and consequently the form in
which it is recreated. In the art
of the occident, a marked absence
of circumscribing lines is appar-
ent, the demarcation being felt
rather than seen. For us the play
of surface and the blending of po-
sition is paramount, while in ori-
ental art, the form is expressed in
pure line. Examples of all stages
of Indian art may be found in the
rock-art temples of Ajanta, Mr.
Yahkub said.

.INo..less..great..than.Indian art is|-.

Indian love literature. The beauty
of Indian literature, independent
of the sympathy derived from such
qualities as tone and assonance,
is valued for its ethical rather
than for its aesthetic qualities, he
said. It embodies. impassioned
visions correlated with thought
and devoid of sentimentality. In-
dian music contains no melody, be-
ing but a variation of notes. It

is, like oriental religion, essen-
tially impersonal, representing
universal emotions. Indian sculp-

ture, which is essentially dynamic,
and possesses a fluidity of motion
in which there is no halt or accent,
reached the height of its develop-
ment between the fourth and the
eighth centuries. — :

Petts Will Produce

Schumann’s ‘Rodrigo

5



The annual dance play, to be
held this year on May 11 and 12,
will be presented in Wyndham
Garden. The play, Rodrigo, is an
original. work by Mr. Hans Schu-
mann, pianist and accompanist to
Miss Petts’ dancing classes. |

Rodrigo is the last in a series of
four productions written by Mr.
Schumann specially for Bryn
Mawr. There is, according to
plan, one play for each year spent
in college, and every student has
an opportunity of viewing each
fantasy of the entire group only
once.

The series is arranged in a
gradation of increasing complex-
ity. The first, Sleeping Beauty, is
distinguished for its simplicity,
both in the quality and color of
its music and in the skill neces-
sary to its dancers. Only a small
number of performers participate
in this cast.

Cinderella, the second of the
foury gains in difficulty of per-
formance as well as in musical
construction and technique, while
the number of characters is mark-
edly increased.

A comparable expansion of
complexity is seen in The Gold-
spinners, and the greatest intri-
cacy is achieved in this year’s pro-
duction, Rodrigo.

All of the works have, as a bas-
is for their stories, the authentic
versions of well-known fairy tales
and fantasies. A Chinese legend
forms the core of Rodrigo, but
much of the plot motivation and
the final moral has been re-adapt-
ed from the Oriental perspective
to a form more acceptable to wes-
tern audiences.

A preview performance of the
music from Rodrigo will be ren-
dered by Mr. Schumann on May 7.



Owls Will Open Baseball Season on Friday

According to Gov’t Orders to Lift Morale



~ By Carol Ballard °45

Somehow, get nine men togeth.
er and in these days it will easily
pass for a baseball team even if
you have to snatch the popcorn
vendor out of the concessionaire’s
office. That was done once but
only for batting practice, we has-
ten to add. This year the vendor
might véry easily find himself on
the team.

Washington’s decree is that
baseball will help civilian morale,
so not even the rain and sleet and
snow of spring training must pre-
vent the national pastime from
going on. But we might question
whose morale really needs to be
boosted . and doubtless ‘almost
everyone would vote for the base-
ball players and the managers
themselves.

So the whole thing continues in
a vicious circle and .only gets
worse and worse. ‘Soon the pop-
corn vendors can’t ibe called on
since every day they are getting
nearer the draft age. From day
to day no one can tell whether a
manager will be able to get a team
together for the next game. So
many new players come up from
the sandlots, the coaches can’t tell
to whom they are giving away
their closely guarded signals.
