Franklin took first place in the 'A' division thereby becoming city champions for she ensuing year.

The Univer-pitv of Pennsvlvama was a close second. In if I "The King," he uses etching, not only with expressionistic forceful-ness, but also with an enjoyment of design for its own sake. In his color woodcuts, he works for bright decorative pattern. Ia his mixed media prints, he tackles more involved concepts as in "Folly" or "Ceremonial." In "Equinox" his color is subtle and poetic. Pozzatti is a print-maker with a variety of talents and moods.

BASEBALL AND ART Tom Meehan may have started out as a Phillies' fan, but now the tables are turned, and the Phillies are Meehan fans. Manager Steve O'Neill and three key players were on the receiving line last Monday at the opening of Mechan's exhibition of 20 baseball paintings in the Gimbel Brothers Little Gallery. Meehan is most successful as a painter when his instinctive feel-uig for dramatic composition works hand in hand with his rich color sense in quick dynamic sketches as in his "Through the Screen" series; least successful when he is closest to Illustration, as in his large "Pitcher, Night-Game." Like a born news with the Pennsylvania Blues finishing second. The competition in the league was particularly keen this year with the result in each division depending on the final matches.

Mrs. Phillips is a well-trained craftsman who handles wood, stone and terra cotta with equal competence. She can do an excellent portrait, a decorative relief, or tackle a more complex use of material as in her three faces in alabaster. In her expressive use of closed and open forms, her "Fish-bird" reminds us that Mrs. Phillips wasj once a student of the English winners in each division.

There's hope on the Art Alliance walls also, more red "sold" signs at the exhibitions nt Jessie Drew-Bear and Neil Fujita than I have seen in years. ART ALLIANCE SUCCESS It's easy to understand why people find the oils and crystoleums of Jessie Drew-Bear so engaging. She has retained the capacity for enthusiasm and wonder of a child.

Although she didn't start painting until she was a grandmother, she has had 16 one-man shows since 1931 and still somehow has remained unspoiled in her zeal for affectionately repeated detail, in her love for flowers and animaL-and a kind of Lewis Carroll fairytale world. Last year, she studied with Fernand Leger on the Riviera, but Leger seems to have left less of an imprint on her painting personality than the Mediterranean which she explored in a mask and a breathing tube. Her undersea marines give her the opportunity she loves for fanciful panegyrics in delightful color to the miracles of nature. Like Mrs. Drew-Bear.

Hawaiian-born Sadamit'U Neil Fujita has an impressive number of red sold labels near his caseins and drawings now being exhibited in second floor gallery of the Art Alliance. But unlike Mrs. Bear's 16 one-man shows, this is Fujita's first one man show in Philadel- Committee, YMCA cness ciuo. c. mm .1 ns.

1952. That fire destroyed the models and sketches of a fertile lifetime, 25 models including the full-scale seven foot Virgin for the church at Assy. France and a nearly completed model for a Fairmount Park Commission. Except for a few bronzes, nothing remained. His monumental Prometheus, a model executed for the facade of the Ministry of National Education in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, happened to be on its way to the 147th Annual Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy and so escaped.

A month later we welcomed the news that the Art Museum had commissioned a bronze Prometheus for its permanent collection. When Lipchitz was told that his Prometheus had been acquired by the Art Museum, he said, "To rise like a phoenix from one's own ashes is a painfully joyous experience."

His tree stumps are theatrical fantasies, but like the repeated use of prisms, refractions, shells, jewels, become trite through repetition. At their best, they are dazzling technically, but like most experiments with pictorial forms, they are often insubstantial and not satisfying for long.
