Last season there was great
deal of talk about the comeback

The fact was, though, that Mr.
Vallee was making something OF

he won his first fame and where
he was but a memory. There was
both surprise and rejoicing when
it was discovered that Vallee still

Vallee who came back to the night
clubs last year has not beer
dimmed by them.
That old, familiar "Heigh-ho

work. With his smoothly blended
mixture of songs, "reminiscences
shaggy dog stories and dash oi
ventriloquism, he can keep a night
club audience happy just about al

One of the places Mr.. Vallee
visited on his return to night clubs
and theaters was the Shoreham
Blue Room, where he had been
the stellar first night attraction
when the hotel was opened years
before. Mr.. Vallee proved to have
so many old and new admirers
during this stay last year-that
the Shoreham management acted
when it learned that he again
was available. Mr.. Vallee will

Loses NO-Hit Contest

Triplett softball team will play
two games during the coming week,
meeting st. Marys here this Friday
in Tri-County league contest and
playing Leipsic at Leipsic next Tues
day night.
Fans at double-header here Tues
day night were treated to a rarity
in the nightcap when hurlers for
both Triplett and the visiting Van
Vert team pitched no-hit contests.
Despite the no-hitter served up
for the Bluffton team by Gene
Beach, his outfit lost to the league
leading Van Vert nine, to 0, be-
cause of two batsmen being hit by
pitched balls, followed by two errors
in the third inning.
Otherwise, the contest was an air
tight hurlers' battle all the way, and
it was the first time in history that
game has been played on the To-
cal field in which neither team was
able to break into the hit column.
Beach retired the visiting Van
Vert outfit in order in five of the
seven innings, and Bluffton batsmen
went down in order in four of seven
frames.
In the first and second innings of
the contest, Allen, Van Vert hurler,
struck out six Bluffton batsmen in
a row, and he had 13 strikeouts for
the evening. Beach struck out six.
In the first game of the evening,
Triplett lost to Jenera by score of
5 to 2. John Stonehill was on the
mound for Bluffton, and gave up
only four hits, while his mates were
getting five.
Triplett girls team in a prelimin-
ary lost to Benton Ridge by a score
of IT to ID.
