Sherlock Still •
Very Much Alive
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, born
in Edinburgh a century ago,
was an earnest, simple man
Whose hope was that he would
lie remembered, not for his mys-
tery stories, nor for Sherlock
Holmes, whom he came to hate,
but fez' his historical novels,
which nobody reads now at all.
Doyle died in 1930, but Holmes
lives persistently on. In edition
After edition, and virtually
every printed language, and in
many native clialeets, the thin,
hawk - nosed, pipe - smoking
sleuth wages his battles with
Professor Moriarty, and three
generations of his admirers have
learned to live with the insuf-
ferable eminence, consum-
mately expressed in the line,
"Elementary, my clear Watson!"

years "The Baker Street Irre-
gulars" have gathered for din-
ner from time to time and read
papers on such subjects as "Did

and "Was Dr. Watson a Philan-

is very much alive,
In celebration of Doyle's nen-
tennial year, the British Book
*Centre, has brought out "Great
Stories by 51 r Arthur Conan
Doyle" selected and introduced
by, John Dickson Carr, whose
own sinister Gideon, Fell and
jovial Sir Henry Merrivale are
among the best of old Relines'
god -children in deviltry. Instead
of limiting himself to Holniesl-
ana (of which there are two ex-
cellent samples in this volume)
Carr has selected pieces whinh
, represent something of Doyle's
literary range —• science fiction,
historical advenure, a boxing
story; a pure horror tale, and
two of the Brigadier Gerard ad.

unmysterious fiction, C 0 n a it
Doyle turns out to have grown
a little bit stiff with age, but
his detective stories, full of the
triumphs of deduction, stand up
to the toughest modern stand-
ards very well indeed. *
Visited last month in a com-
fortable old shingle -style. house
in Mamaroneck, N.Y., among his
hundreds of heady books on
p o i s o n, hangings, witchcraft,
ghosts, and murder in all forms,
tam a slight, trim, mustached
man, remarked of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle: "He's still awful-
ly good, you know. He plays
fair with you most of the time;
his clues are all there. It's ter-
ribly hard to criticize him. If
you exclude Poe, he was really
the first." He added a little am-
biguously: "You can't very well
call a man offside in a game
he invented himself."

1SSISE 39 — 1959
NEW ROYAL TUTOR — Princess Margaret leaves Ballafer sta-
tion, Scotland, to join the "royal_ family at Balmoral Castle.
With her is Canadian Army Lt. Jean La Jeunesse,the • new
French tutor for Prince Charles.
• Prince Charles To Learn French
So Prince Charles, 10 -year-old
heir to the British throne, is hav-
ing special French lessons for
part of his summer vacation in
Scotland!
His French tutor, Lieutenant
Jean Lajeunesse, a French Cana-
dian Army officer, has just
traveled to Balmoral from Lon-
don, after making the journey
here from Canada.
With memories of my Own and
any children's resistance to vaca-
tion homework I phoned Buck-
ingham Palace to hear how
Prince Charles had reacted to
the idea. It's one of the pleasant
aspects of relations with the
royal family these days that a
reporter can phone Whitehall
4832 and have an., intimate chat
with one of the press secretaries.
Not so very long ago palace
relations with the press were
very formal. The reporter was
sometimes even given the feel-
ing of being an upstart prod -
nose. Today things are very dif-
ferent. The lady at the other
end of the phone gave the im-
pression she really wanted to
talk about Prince Charles and
his French.
Incidentally it's rather strange
to find in the London telephone
directory that Buckingham Pa-
lace is listed in the smallest
print, while big heavy print
inakes it far easier to Spot the
Buckingham Hotel. and A. r.
Buckingham Lt., makers of bed-
ding in Bermondsey. But then
Sir Winston Churchill is also
listed in the smallest possible
type. Presumably it's because
neither Sir Winston nor the
royal family are in business.
The press secretary at the Pa-
lace assured me that Prince
Charles' stunmer vacation isn't
going to be spoiled by French
lessons. Lieutenant Lajeunesse
is at Balmoral not just to teach
French but also to tell stories
and information about Canada.
Prince Charles and Princess
_ Anne are bubbling over with'
questions about the great domin-
ion which their mother and fa-
ther have recently visited.
Queen Elizabeth II foresaw
this when she was "in Canada.
She asked whether it would be
• possible for a French-speaking
officer from the Royal Vingt-
Deuxierne Regiment, of which
she is Colonel -in -Chief, to stay
at Bahnoral this summer to act
as French tutor. The suggestion
was readily accepted and Lieut-
enant Lajeunesse, 27 -year old
• graduate of Montreal University,
was chosen,
Prince Charles has already
made a good start in French at
his prep school at Cheam, in
Berkshire. And during the
Christmas vacation at Sasidriiig-
ham 1958 "French days" were
introduced when the Prince and
Princess spoke and were ad-
• dressed only in French.
• Queen Elizabeth, Princess
Margaret, and Queen Elizabeth,
the Queen Mother, are fluent
French speakers. Princess Philip,
father of Prince Charles, is pro-
ficient. So one way and another
it looks as • if Prince Charles
should escape that silly Anglo-
Saxon self-consciousness about
speaking French and other lan-
guages.
I remember my generation of
boys at school saying, "I couldn't
speak a language where you
have to throw your arms about
so much." This is complete non -
Sense because when an English-
man gets excited in conversation
he articulates as much with his
arms and hands as does a
Frenchman, writes Peter Lyne
in the Christian Science Moni-
tor.
Americans on the whole are
almost as bad as Englishman
abOut speaking foreign lan-
guages. They don't have to be-
cause more and more people
speak English. This is a pity be-
cause much is lost, especially in
travel, by not speaking lan-
guages.
What we Anglo-Saxons don't
seem to realize is that our bad
French accents may sound as at-
tractive to French folk as Ma-
, urice Chevalier's French accent
sounds to us. Sir Winston
Churchill has an atrocious
French accent, But that doesn't
prevent him from bursting into
French at times. When he ad-
dressed a Paris liberation com-
mittee in November, 1944, he
warned .his audience "prenez-
garde, je parle Francais" (look
out, I am going to speak French).
It looks as if the royal parents
are going to see to it that Prince
Charles will be able to speak
French naturally. And that will
be a fine thing if anything ever
comes of the idea of members
of the royal family going to live
for a time in the different do-
minions, as has been suggested.
Prince Charles might become
Governor General of Canada be-
fore becoming King. Then it
would be a feather in his cap if
he could speak French as fluent-
• ly as English.
Q. Hew can I restore the orig-
inal whitness to discolored china
or earthenware?
A. Scour it with baking soda
or vinegar and salt.

Winner Or Loser
Bill is Gotne
On a V001 February night near
Berkeley, Oe1l2,,iIl ItigneY was
fighting drowsiness as he drove
home with his wife, Paula, asleep
in the front seat beside him, It
was after 2 a.m. and Rigney had
made his tenth public-spealcilfg
appearance in fourteen nights
before dropping in to an asse-
ciato's home for a nighteap. Sud-
denly, he dozed at the wheel.
When Rigney woke up, his car
Was smashed against a telephone
pole and he was lying on the
ground, conscious of pain. "What
happened?" he asked a state
trooper who stood over him.
"Your throat's cut,! the trooper
said.
"Oh, great," Rigney muttered
and blacked out,
Actually, Rigney suffered a
fractured jaW, •a series of deep
cuts on the neck and chest, and
lost seven teeth. Mrs. Rigney was
so seriously injured that there
was some question of her walk-
ing again. But from last win-
'ter's utter bleakness, the Higneys
have moved to a summer of
sheer delight. Last month, Bill's
• jaw was fine, Paula was almost
ready to discard her crutches,
and the San Fransisco Giants,
under the brilliant and battling
leadership of Rigney, had be-
come the most exciting team in
•baseball,
A spring -training choice for
no higher than third or fourth,
Bill Rigney's Giants beat the
Milwaukee Braves' great Warren
Spahn, then caught a midnight
flight to Philadelphia. "We didn't
get to the hotel until 4 in the
morning.' Johnny Antonelli, the
intense left-hander, said s few
hours later near the batting cage
, at Connie Mack •Staditun, "and
I'm an oldfashioned guy. I wear
pajamas. So I waited for my
bags and I didn't get to sleep till
S." Then Antonelli went out and
pitched an old-fashioned eight -
hit shutout as the Giants swept
a twi-night double-header from
the Phils and built their lead to
two and a half genies.
How do Rigney's driving
yining Giants play ball? In Phila-
delphia recently, they were lead-
ing Robin Roberts by two runs
in the sixth inning, with itlays
on second and rookie Willie Mc -
Covey on first. Each time Roberts
wound up,, Mays stared hard at
• catcher Valrny Thomas, an ex -
Giant, and then tipped off, or
pretended to tip off, what Rob-
erts would throw,
Abruptly Roberts wheeled and
marched on Mays. Umpire Jock.,
Conlan cut him off, but Roberts
was still furious when he re-
sumed pitching. As he did, Mays
stole ,third. Then as Mays work-
ed his way into and 'out of a
trap between third and home,
McCovey stole second. Roberts
was thoroughly .rattled • And
Daryl Spencer doubled to left.
Usually the Giants give the
opposition the Willies — Mays
and McCovey. At other times,
though, it's Jackie Brandt and
Orlando Cepeda,
who team up' to
drive NationalLeague clubs
frantic. Whenever the Giants
play, there is a fire and a dash
that may well be the mark of
champions. "They think they can
win it," Rigney says, "and they
act that way and they play that
way. What about the manager?
Well, maybe I'm a little better
than I was when I started. You
learn what . you have to do."
What Rigney feels he has to do
now is let the young hall players
know he stands behind them, so
this, gray, spectacled, rather
scholarly -looking man of 41, al-
ready has been thrown out of
four games this, season. It's, not
a question of fighting with Um-
pires; it's a. question of fighting
for a pennant.
And at a Eine when the Giants
were supposed to fold under
pressure, the players boarded a
ball -park bus in Philadelphia
thought they were going out on a
company picnic, "I got two pay -
.checks .since my last hit,' said
Dusty Rhodes, a veteran pinch -
hitter, "but the kids are going so
great that I ain't worried," Then
Mays walked aboard ancl spotted
some New York sportswriters.
"Front-runners," Willie squeak-
ed in great glee. "Front-runners.
Where was you when we were
sixth? Come on? Where was you
guys then?"
Rigney sat quietly as the bus
left for Connie Mack Stadium,
grinning easily at the babble
about him. Then he began to
whistle. "You know," he said,
"the accident messed up my
mouth so, this is the first time
I've been able to whistle."
"Well, it's a real good thing
that you've got something to
whistle about," a sportswriter
said.
• Rigney smiled and resumed
whistling as the bus carried his
.Giants to the ball park and, he
hoped, the pennant
