Wilkinson Corner has succeeded fields that it is many hard to know where to begin describing him. He entered college at 15, has a master's degree. He has been a success on the stage, radio , and screen, as actor, writer and producer. As narrator for Duel in the Sun he was so good that he was engaged for the same stint for Arch of Triumph. His latest ARNOLD picture is Eagle-Lio- n. MOSS Reign of Terror." for During the war he did in four foreign lan- broadcasta guages, narrated six pictures for the navy. The coming season will see him on the stage in "Twelfth Night, and on television as well. He is married, has two young children and makes interviews a pleasure.

Thinking of it, I am more apt to shudder than smile. Though it certainly had amusing aspects. You see, Joe Is an American. And he wasnt used to the way they did things In Luandia. Anyway, when Joe and I stopped off at Cabindas on our world cruLe, we were much pleased with the place. That night we had dinner at the Plaza and It was there that we first saw Kandace. She was sitting alone in a booth, and when the canght Joe staring at her boldly, the nodded and smiled at him. Instinctively I knew, when 1 saw the tall dark man come through the door, that Joe was in for trouble. And I was right. The tall dark man strode toward the booth and there was something about him that caused my blood to creep. I stood up, but was by no means quick enough. The stranger had grasped Joe by the coat front, jerked him to his feet and slapped his face. After a while a messenger came in and handed me a note. I read it and looked sourly at Joe. Now youve done it That was Count Obeid and that was his girl you insulted. Insulted? said Joe. And he wants to fight a duel with you. He realises our boat sails first thing in the morning, so in order to accommodate ns hell await our pleasure at dawn. He will do you the honor of permitting you to choose your own weapons. Joe shook his head and tried to grasp it. That punk the dope who smacked my jaw wants to fight a duel? You mean like they do in And I can Sabatinis books?" choose my own weapons," Joe went on. He stood up. Come on." I followed him, not quite daring to use force in stopping him again, yet ready for any emergency. We went back to the Plaza. The count and his girl were, of course, gone. Joe made inquiries, wrote down an address and beckoned me to follow. A taxi deposited us before a pretentious looking house of white adobe. A servant admitted us and presently Count 'Obeid appeared. You're giving me the honor of choosing my own weapons, said Joe Ill take these. and he knotted up his fists and held them ILL made only two pictures for Warners, but they represent the high and low of his career.

Grinning, Joe stepped in and delivered a on the noblemans quick chin. Blood appeared on his mouth. He swung wildly. Joe set him back on his heels. The count came in again and Joe knocked him down. He got up and came back for more. he said, Listen, old horse, you're as dumb about the customs back In America as I am about them over here. Only I didnt have the guts to fight you your own way one-tw- o and you, well, by gosh, there are danged few Americans can take it the way you have.

Ten minutes later the three of us were sitting around a fire in Kandaces living room, laughing and talking and drinking punch and telling each other that it was too bad there wasnt a perfect understanding about customs of different countries, and agreed that if such were the case every one would be happier.

And this next one can be a nectarine full of Juice. Oddly enough conditions In the two leagues have been somewhat reversed since last April. At that time the Red Sox and Indians were to make the American league race. Cardinals, Braves, Pirates and possibly the Giants were to chum up foam In the Natio- Both Yankees and Indians still recall the deficit Joe McCarthy and his Red Sox wiped out last summer and fall And certainly McCarthy has never quit in his be- lief the Red Sox will win. The Yankees were the most consistent A. L. team until early August, when Red Sox, Indians, Tigers and Athletics were involved in winning spurts and dizzy downward spirals that looked to be headed for oblivion. There has been more in and out, up and down, good and'bad baseball played In the American League than anyone has seen for many summers. And a good part of it has revolved around erratic pitch- nal the case today only the Cardinals and Dodgers appear to have anything to say about the Rice tag stretch ta the National league while the Yankees, Indians, Red Sox and Tigers may all be lumped together through September ta the American. This American league September stretch may be one of the best in many years, even close to the 1948 scramble. Past results have shown us what can happen when these stretch runs in the two leagues start. The Pirates twice have had a seven-gamlead shot from under them in former years. In 1934, the Giants lost six of their last seven games to give the Cards the pennant by two games. Dizzy Dean was the spearhead of the St Louis team. The White Sox put on a rally in September as far back as 1906. The Cubs picked up a 21 consecutive game streak a few years ago to blot out the Pirates. There have been any number of leads shot to pieces in late August or September. On copy paper the Red Sox still look to be the strongest team in baseball with the upsurge of Parnell, McDermott and Stobbs, hooked to the power of Williams, Dorn DiMaggio, Stephens, Doerr, Pesky and others. The Yankees, Indians and Tigers are now well balanced, with Red Rolfes hired men carrying the more effective pitching ta Newhouser, Trucks, Hutchinson, Houtteman, and Gray. Dartmouths Rolfe has done a fine job with the squad he opened with. For that matter so has Casey Stengel From now on everything depends on bow the stretch run is handled. As Is com-GranUa- ing.

The Cardinals are even now an old team, largely products of 1941 and 1942, and by next year they will be over the hill. I cant see any other team coming along to fill in the gap, not even the Phillies. The Cardinals or some other club bad better collar the Dodgers this summer or it will probably be too late for some years to come. Burt Shottons young pitching staff and young team is just picking np the seasoning and experience needed and by 1950 will outclass the National league. Cardinals included. The downfall of the Braves and the Pirates has been one of the jolting factors in the older circuit Those who know Billy Southworth and have known him for years cant understand a group of ballplayers backing up under his leadership. He has always been too able a leader and too fine a character in the past This has affected a ball club that never was too hot even when it won a year ago. The Braves will be too far back of the Dodgers by 1950 to have a look in . and New Ball Baseball has had at least one mystery we have never been able to penetrate.
