contributed greatly in the SELL

Dallas, Texas, an album Of u
records was sold to one man
for a S150,000 bond.
Kenny likes to write poetry
in his spare time,
Hoppy does etchings in Plas-

Mackey's interested in re-

Bill didn't mention his hob

the music that was piled UP on
his desk, I doubt very much
that he has time for one.

carmen JONES" ENTERS
SECOND week ON BROADWAY
Wonderful unexpected things

Wonderful unexpected things
have happened to Georges
Bizet's opera Carmen. Per-
haps this was 10 be expected
after somebody took a notion
to start the swing-the-classics
rage This is hardly the time to
renew the controversy between
the long hairs" and the hep.
cats" as We can throw little or
no light ON the subject-much
less solve the problem. This
much, however is to be said:
lever SO conhdentially) con-
census Of opinion has it that
Carmen" is all the better for
its Americanization with an
an-Colored cast.
The opera in this form is
known as Carmen Jones" and
is a delightful Interpretation
OF the original, conceived by
Oscar Hammerstein II, staged
by Hassard Short, and, hardly
least, produced by Billy Rose.
The radical change is from
18th century seville TO goth
Century America. The cast
but the acting and singing are
by no means inferior for this
reason. Proving the difficulty
Of the roles is the fact that in
several cases two persons are
required to take the role Of
one character-for example,
Muriel Smith and Muriel Rain
play Carmen INTERCHANGEABLE.
The parts Of Joe don JOSEF
and Cindy Lou (Micaela) call
for two players as well.
The story is Of Carmen. 4
parachute-maker who BE-
witches Joe, an NJ P guard Of
her plant into loving her hope
lessly only to iilt him for a
fighter, Husky Miller. AS in the
original, Carmen" predicts her
death and the story ends in j
fate-determining fight = not
in a bull fighting arena this
time but in a Chicago boxing
ring.
The Spanish names become
Americanized Of course, as co
the places, but the most en-
ioyable result OF this mordern-
ization Of the opera is seen in
the music. The Habanera be-
comes Oats love-you go for
me an I'm taboo, but if you're
hard to get, I go for you. The
famous Toreador Song becomes
Stand up and fight until you
hear de bell. which Husky
Miller sings. Micaela's beauti-
full plea to Don Jose becomes
Cindy Lou's equally beautiful
rendition Of MY joe" Despite
| these unusual and delightful
changes in the opera, the mu-
sic is the same that Bizet
himself wrote-eyer 50 unsus-
pectingly.

AII-Americon
Golf Open Starts

Chicago, July 19.-(UP)-A rec
ord-breaking field of 233 contest
ants teed off today in the qualify
ing round of the third annual ALL
America golf tournament at the
Tam O'Shanter Country club.
The amateur tournament inaugu-
rates hectic week-long links car
nival during which the $4,000 ALL
America open and the women's
open also will be played.
The three tournaments form golf
dom's wackiest show, combining the
best features of the links, mara
than race and three-ring circus.
The first golfers were off the tee
at a. m. and it will be dusk be-
fore the bulky field completes the
first half of the qualifying test.
Complete confusion will touch
the tournaments in mid-Week when
the "a qualifiers in the amateur
compete simultaneously in the open.
They vie at match play in the am
ateur, but adhere to medal play
standards so that their scores can
be counted in the open. Stymies
therefore are eliminated and all
puts must be holed out.
Marvin (Bud) Ward OF Spokane,
Wash, winner of the tournament
year ago, is leaving his title I'M
defended and his absence merely
adds to the bitter championship
scrambling.
MILFORD Wehrle of Racine, Wis,
runner-up to Ward in 1912 and
long one of the country's top anna
teur stars, rates as the early fav-
orite.

New ScoviII Club In Civ
League Proves Red Hot
Standings;

Typical of the thriller-diller base
ball that City Amateur league fans
have been getting all season; two
of the three games scheduled yes
terday at Hamilton Park went into
extra innings; with the favorites in
both cases losir., out AS expected,
the league-leading Washington Hills
had cooler" in the Sacred Hearts,
whom were shut out TO but the &C
ton in the other pair of games
scheduled was little short of breath
taking.
Naugatuck Highlanders, figured to
have the edge" on the renovated
Scovill outfit managed by Packy
Shea, were on the short end of an
lilo score but not before eleven
innings of spine-tingling baseball
had been played.
Aviglianese and Middlebury was
another game that looks like the
one to see and, as things turned out,
it went not less than IS innings,
Middlebury winning to 4.
EAilu 4ASSaIGhy
The Scovill victory was a great
one for it was a single by league
veteran Larry Mullen that scored
Joe Mccarthy an up and coming
local star with the run that won
the ball game. Johnny DeVito, the
north end Flash hit a home run
good for two runs in the fifth which
gained a 7-3 lead for Scovills but
the Highlanders came back like a
bad cheek with seven runs in the
next two innings. Scovill came back
with two in the seventh by fast
base-running, getting two potential
runs on base which were later
scored; causing extra innings, lead
ing up to Mullen's payoff wallop.
Hardenberg, Scovill pitcher, lasted
six innings; Thompson succeeding
him and getting the win.
Good Pitching Hitting
Ray Decker was the Washington
Hill pitcher who had his own way
giving four hits. Jackie Travers
homer scored three runs while busy
Bobby Greatorex hit a tremendous
clout in the ninth to score two runs.
Joe Mccarthy newest Scovill play
err coming up from the Hill Juniors
of the Parks league, got SO for 7" in
the hitting department, indicating
that he is ready for the best year
of baseball that he has had, for, as
pitcher, outfielder and hitter he
had done very we'll in the past two
seasons.
