ANNAPOLIS, Nd, May 15.-In
spite Of six errors, Navy's varsity
baseball team today romped over the
Cardinals from Catholic University
Of Washington, D. c., 90, in a
drawn-out ball game.
Catholic US squad did not show
up until an hour after the scheo-
uled starting time and loose playing
on the field made the game an en-
durance contest.
Both mines batted out six hits
apiece but five walks, two stolen
bases and three errors aided the
Tars to garner seven runs in the
first three innings to give Navy's
pitcher, Bill Leahy, sufficient lead.

In putting the great show on film the studio was careful not to alter but to augment 1t. Thus large cast of motion picture and radio stars was added as were some old and new Irving Berlin songs.
 Hollywood is richly represented by, among others, George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Lieutenant Ronald Reagan, George Tobias, Alan Hale, Charles Butterworth and Una Merkel.
 Radios great star, Kate Smith, sings the beloved hymn God Bless America" which she introduced to the nation over the air waves. Frances Langford puts over the new Berlin number What Does He Look Like" while Gertrude Niesen sings some of the composers World War I tunes.
 A screen story was built around ohe sl1ow, linking together the gen. sxations of the two world wars and swing the production plot inter- ct which the stage version lacked.

 William Llindigan, who stars in the production, plays the part of a young prospector, down on his luck, who finds himself in the remote vil- lage of Sunivak, Alaska.
 Tho canny inhabitants mistrust the stranger" and Higgins, the local storekeeper, is particularly annoyed when Lundigan beats up his son for mistreating a dog, and is instru- mental in having the young man put in prison.
 To get even with Higgins and the other villagers, he takes advantage of the fact that the local printer, Clem Adams, gets drunk. and gains access to his printing press, where he prints . phoney copy of Seattle newspaper, in which he headlines tho news that the U. 8. is at war With Japan (though 1t is not yet Dec. 7tll, ie41).
