Now she says, “I'd like to be a professional dancer.” And a professional caster—before I get too old.” Does her tap-dancing help her casting? Joan said she wasn't sure, but she believed it has bettered her

BOSTON, Aug. 20 (U. P.).—The Boston Braves announced today they had purchased 90 per cent of the stock of the Milwaukee Brewers of the American association. and would take title to the baseball club at the end of the current season. “Arrangements were made . this morning at Milwaukee at a meeting of President Louis R. Perini and General Manager John Quinn of the Braves and Oscar Salenger of the Brewers. The Braves said they now are arranging to dispose of the stock they hold in the Indianapolis club of the American association. It was expected to be sold to Frank MecKinney, recent purchaser of the Pittsburgh Pirates, =

With today’s announcement of

Brewers by the Boston Braves, it was disclosed at Victory field that the Beantown club first tried to buy controlling interest in the Indianapolis Indians. It is said the Braves offered a fabulous sum to Tribe Owners Prank E. McKinney and Owen J. Bush. The Braves purchased 40 per cent of the Indianapolis club stock last winter, but will be compelled to sel] it back now that they have obtained the Milwaukee franchise, Messrs, McKinney and Bush said the Indians will remain “Indianap-olis-owned” and become g Pitts burgh Pirate affiliate after the current baseball season. There will be no changes in Tribe player personnel this season, but next year several of the current Indians probably will wear Milwaukee uniforms, since the Braves own the contracts of a group of Indianapolis pastimers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Putting one little word after another and whatever became of the “liberals” who fell in love with Tito? As an actor it can’t be said Joe Louis is a knockout. The Dodgers have used eight third base. men this season, but not at the same time, which ig sadly inconsistent with Brooklyn tradition. Our notion of the ideal Miss America is a dame who doesn’t sa “natch.” :

Also interested in the new up-state New York track with John Dunnigan are Vincent Daley, political scholar, and John Sloan, architect. The track is to be built in suburban Buffalo. 8. L. D. of Schenectady wants to know if Bing Crosby bought the Pirates for a song? The senate without a LaFollette is going to look like Broadway without the Lunts. The seeing eye dog is a wonderful institution, but what most of us need these days is a thinking eye dog. Someone should remind Tito that the Japs didn’t get very far with the “so solly, pleeze” formula, either, Na » ~ » » » Bob Feller got his first dollar for whitewashing a barn, and followed naturally that he'd be baseball's foremost exponent of the noble art. » ” » LJ » » Aside to Mike Jacobs: How does Senator Jim Mead rate close-up pews in the press row? Is he your Washington representative? The track room gossip is that Eddie Arcaro and Greentree Stable did not part om amicable terms. Mine host, Martin Sweeney, tells me Saratoga is to have a new hotel by next season, a 250-room job, state built. Thig is not nearly large enough, but at least it's something. » » » » » » The Philadelphia A’s will be the next club to change hands, and what a break that will be for the American league. = » » » . w The majors will produce an entire new set of leaders this seasom, This includes infiividuals as well as clubs. Neither the Cubs nor the Tigers will repeat. Both Stirnweiss and Cavarretta must relinquish their batting crowns. Borowy, who led the N. L. pitchers, won't come close. Newhouser, A. L. topper, is making a valiant defense, though the odds favor either Ferriss or Feller. The Cubs, who led im team batting last year, are far down, so are the White Sox, whe paced their league. The answer is simple; the pros are back. ¥ » ~ » ” = Add Bradley lore: The old gambler missed a Saratoga meet only once. . . . “That was just 20 years ago,” remembered Mae An. drews, long time ‘family friend, who is doing his biography. “He was touring Europe with his niece, Peggy Bailey, this as a graduation present. That year, it was "26, he had high hopes for a 2-year-old named Twink. The colt was to make his first start at Saratoga. Before sailing he said to me: ‘I've instructed Tom Healy (a famous trainer in those days) to watch Twink in his works. Now when Twink is entered in a race, you look up Healy and if he tells you to bet, go the limit" Twink cake-walked.” Miss Andrews won an apron full of bright green cabbage. . . . “It was enough to last me for life, almost,” she said. “But then I thought Twink could repeat in the Hopeful, He didn’t. Jack High ran away with the race.” * “And did the colonel have a bet on Twink the first time out? Miss Andrews looked at me with scorn. “Are you kidding?”
