PlEBLOW PAGES VETS IN QUEST
FOR S0FTBALL TOURNEY TITLE

Port Clinton V. F. w. nine is
the only undefeated team remain
ing in the Port Clinton Indepen-
dent Softball League tournament
as the double-elimination events
near an end.
Two upsets thrilled the specta-
tors last weekend, with the Erie
Ordnance Depot squad eliminat-
ing the city championship Port
Clinton Manufacturers, and The
Standard Products edging the
favored Blue Sunocos.
Best game of the week was the
V. F. w. victory over Nu-Form
Batteries Friday night. "Buzz"
Pieblow, the Pacific Vet who seems
to get stronger as the weather
gets warmer, pitched a near per-
feet game to defeat Nu-Form, II
to 0.
Pieblow faced only 20 men dur
ing the game. Buddy Daniels sin
gle was the only hit Pieblow al
lowed, and he issued only one
walk. No Nu-Form player reach
ed second during the evening.
Dave Greenley was the loser.
Injuries marred the Knights of
Columbus Whitehouse Drive In
game the same evening. Jack
Kohanke and Roger Markley,
both of the hamburg team, are re-
cupcrating in their homes after
leg injuries. The Knights were
victorious, 8 to 6, and the defeat
eliminated the Whitehousc nine.
Joe Krawcyzyk was the winning
pitcher, besting Chet Koslowski.
Orlie Humphries, regular pitcher
for the Whitehouse team, is in the
hospital where he underwent an
abdominal operation last week.
Markley suffered a broken bone
in his foot when he attempted to
slide into second base. He will
be sidelined two weeks. Kohanke
sustained a wrenched knee when
he collided with Leroy lines, and
will be on crutches for a week.
Keith "Red" Floro was the win
ming pitcher Thursday when the
f. 0. ID. squad eliminated the
Port Clinton Manufacturers, to
4. The Manufacturers are the
city champs, having lost only one
game during the regular season.
Carl Besso was the loser Thurs
day night. Ellsworth Peterson
put the game on ice for Floro,
when he homered with the bases
loaded in the fifth.
Roy Whale bested Joe Kuzma
in a pitchers duel Thursday night
when Standard Products elimin-
ated the Blue Sonocos, to 2.
Tuesday evening, the Standard
Products tackled Nu-Form and
Knights of Columbus played Erie
Ordnance Depot in the semi
finals. Winners of those games
are to meet this Thursday evening,
August II, at Waterworks Park,
with the winner to play unde-
feated V. F. w. in the finals Fri
day evening.
Should the Vets lose this Fri
day night, the tournament will be
continued until Monday evening
when the tourney champ will be
decided.

Hollywood has its boots and
bobbles and plain old-fashioned
mistakes, but occasionally one of
these blunders will pay off to the
tune Of heavy dividends.
American screen fans, for in
stance. wouldn't be raving today
over the beauty and talent of
Marta loren, the Swedish actress,
if it hadn't been for some confu-
sion in Stockholm four years ago.
And, as a consequence, Miss loren
is riding high and handsome on a
successful Hollywood career. She
returns this month from visit
to her native land to begin her
eighth feature picture for Uni
versal- international.
Marta is looked upon with un-
disguised awe by both movie and
still cameramen who declare to
man that she is the one glamor
girl in the business who can be
photographed from any angle
and at any time-morning, noon
or midnight.
In extolling the gorgeous fea-
lures of Miss loren, the camera
boys like to cite, for sharp con-
trast, some of their dreadful
experiences with other so-called
exponents of the glamor puss.
One famous brunette star, for
example. never accepts a script
calling for location scenes unless
camera crews and art directors
have secuted the outdoor sites to
determine first of all whether the
one good side of her face can be
worked into the scenery in a fiat
tering manner.
To Keep Writer Honest.
Getting back to Marta loren
and the entirely forgivable blunder
that brought her to Hollywood,
here's exactly how it happened:
-Four years ago a script writer
named Eddie Blum was sent to
Sweden by RKO studio to absorb
atmosphere and develop a screen
play. Stockholm reporters inter-
viewed him and one enthusiastic
writer headlined him as "a ia
nous Hollywood producer in
search of a new Swedish star"
Just to keep the poor columnist
honest, Blum made a gesture at
discovering somebody. He went

did a double-take at q lovely
young brunette. 5 feet 5 and with
sparkling blue eyes. She was
among eight girls the school had
selected for training from a field
of 112.
This I've got to screen test"
said Blum, acting the way a
screen writer figures a producer
would act under the same circum-
stances.
To appear in the test with the
Swedish girl, Blum talked fast to
his friend, Capt. Bob Robb, a
military attache at the American
Embassy. Robb, who blushed and
stammered when he said II love
you" in front of the test camera
turned in a new low in acting,
even for an amateur, but Marta
wasn't bothered. She was Won

unacquainted with the results of

mailed the little can of loren test
to a friend in Hollywood. Then
things began happening.
Among several other tycoons,
executives at Universal had a
look at it. They Immediately
cabled for more information about
the girl. They liked Marta's high
cheekbones, those fiashy almond
shaped eyes, her dramatic
touches-and the fact that &C
tresses recruited from the Royal
Dramatic Academy Of Stockholm
very often end up as box-office
stars.
She arrived in New York by

Then she was hustled into a New
York hotel and given an elaborate
glamor going -over-then put back

Margot Fonteyn. rated the
finest dancer of this generation by
critics and audiences alike, is
worried because she says she isn't
getting any better.
She described herself in an in
terview as dangerously near the
age where I am standing still"
To thousands of ballet fans on
both sides of the Atlantic, Fon-
teyn standing still is better than
most dancers in motion.
Intimates say her worry about
her future as a dancer is not a
pose, but rather a reflection Of
the drive and determination
that made her a leading dancer
at Is and keeps her way ahead
Of the pack at 81.
Americans got their first view
of Margot Fonteyn last year
when the Sadler's Wells Co.
toured the United States.
Critics were rapturous m their
praise of her almost unbelievable
grace and fluid movements. With
tour of 26 American cities
this fall, there are certain to be
more Fonteyn fans.
But there is no consciousness
of her pre-eminent stature as a
dancer in Miss Fonteyn's offstage
personality.
There is none of the tempera-
ment associated with great ar
lists. no "highhatting" of younger
members Of the company. Her
tiny dressing room is filled with
a constant stream of visitors, all
greeted with high good humor.
Most dancers who dedicate
themselves to ballet start in child
hood, give up formal schooling in
their early teens-and limit their
world to ballet.
Miss Fonteyn knows there is a
world outside-and has some
ideas about what makes it 60
around.
