Leos vituperative feud with Brooklyn and New York baseball writers started late in June when the Lip heaved a wet towel into Umpire Tom Dunns face at Ebbets Field.

Its the story of Lou Gehrigs life shows an earnest, rather shy young man who loved his mother and worked hard, attaining success and the honest admiration and affection of his countrymen. A typical American, we hope. forIts too bad that the dim-obade the use of Kleig lights for the opening of this swell picture. Never who retaliated with the decree that none of the offending writers should enter the dressing room. It might well be explained that one of the writers who may enter the sacred portals was off the day after the towel throwing, and so failed to get a chance to crack down on Leo.

LEO DUROCHER They probably wont give Jerry Bnlkley a chance to dance in Du Barry Was a Lady; probably wont even know that shes a dancer. Shes gone to Hollywood with a group of fellow models, and if they have an opportunity to do more than just look pretty theyll be lucky. New York models arent very enthusiastic about Hollywood any more; most of them refuse to go. Even $200 a week for three months or so doesnt tempt them, since they may never face a movie camera in that time, and when they come home folks think they just didnt make good the boys after the game and get a bit of inside dope which may or may not be truthfuL However, it is the easiest way a manager may snub the writers, and its sure to rankle.
