Up in Tourney
BY The jerks

The London Raiders bowed to
Cardington Friday 1912 as they
We'd in the finals of the District
Tournament on Friday.
But the week leading up to that
game was full of victories as Lon
don met league and tournament
play. Here are the high-lights of
each game.
On Tuesday, the 9th, London
tangled with Westerville, to defeat
them 81. Starting a rally in the
bottom of the seventh, with the
Raiders trailing 7-6, Sonny Wheel
er hit a bounding single, stole
second, stole third and finally
home for the tying run! Ted Hunt
er drew a free ride to first, stole
two bases, setting the stage for
his brother Bills Texas-leaguer to
left field, when Ted came home.
Then on Wednesday, the Worth
ington Cardinals led 2-1, when
"Sach" Davidson stepped up in the
top of the fourth and slapped a
long homer out of the park via
right-center field. Bob Miller, who
drove in four of the runs, tripled
the next inning and the Raiders
soon left the Cards behind, So.
On Thursday, in a pitchers duel,
the Grove City Greyhounds were
downed 2-1. Bill Hunter struck
out nine to Dick Sheets six. Son.
ny Wheeler's double knocked in
Bill Minner from third and "Sach''
Davidson repeated the act in the
sixth with a single.
Then came the rainy, dreary
Friday, and the elements favored
Cardington Eight costly errors
for London against three for the
gray and red team played a big
part in the final 1912 score. Roger
Davis for Cardington ran the cir.
cult on a four-oase hit and Brao
Landon, the victors mounder
tripled in the third.

this business"
Bud didn't understand, but he
promised. He knew his dad, at "a,
had been the youngest driver to
win the famed Hambletonian-
with Lord Jim in Iceland that
he was back in the winners circle
in 1899 with Peter Astra. He also
knew Doc had driven % horses in
two minutes or better, that his
dad was tops
But obedient Bud didn't even
cling into sulky those six years.
At home he cared for horses and
listened to Docs tales of the
tracks. 81
In 1914, at 10, Bud joined the
Army. He returned in 1947 to be-
come an auto salesman.
Then in 1850, Docs health fall
ed. He gave up his berth as head
trainer for the Hayes Fair Aces
Stable, one of the nations most
prominent, and returned to Ur-
bana. Late that year Bud ap-
preached his dad again.
Dad" he said, I've kept my
promise II years. But / still love
racing and want to become a
driver. Will you let me?"
The Veteran reinsman said
MOI, emphatically.
Just because your name is Par
SHALL he told his son, you would
not be handed anything on a silver
platter. AS a rookie you'd get sick
lame, lazy and bad-acting horses.
You'd probably get hurt and you
might get killed. No. you can't be
a horseman."
TWO WEEKS later Doc died of
a heart ailment which had plagued
him down through the years.
A year later, young Hugh
decided to break his promise.
He got in touch with JIM
HAckETT OF LONDON, a
lifelong friend who had
stable Of horses.
Hackett gave the youngster a
job-first as caretaker, then as
second trainer. All winter, in Flor
ida, Bud worked with the Hackett
trotters and PAGERS, remembering
all the things his dad had told him
years ago.
Il think dad knew Ia break that
promise sometime" Bud said,
land / think he told me all those
things to help me in just such a
time as this"
So Bud is on his way. He has
registered his dads flashy red,
white and blue silks as his own
and he'll drive his first race in
June at Painesville Raceway.
And the best bet that day is that
old Doc will be in the sulky with
his promise-breaking son as he pa
rades to the post-and roofing for
him down the stretch.

SPORTS
Plain City Hi Wins County
Baseball Cham pionship

Plain City high school won the
Madison County baseball champ
ionship Tuesday in a play off
game with Monroe Township by
the score of A to g. The two teams
had finished in a tie at the end of
the regular season and the playoff
was postponed until after the state
class B tournament, both teams
represented the county in the
state event.
The championship contest was
played on the West Jefferson
diamond Tuesday afternoon and it
was one of the best games to be
played in the county this spring.
1t was a game with story book
finish. Plain City came to bat in
the last half of the seventh and
final inning trailing by the score
Of 3 to l. Phelps the first man up
reached first base on an error,
Bidwell was hit by a pitched ball
putting men on first and second
base North laid down perfect
bunt that could not be fielded and
the bases We're loaded. Davis came
TO bat and lined a triple between
the outfielders, driving in three
runs and winning the champion
ship game for the "ScottieS." !"
Monroe played sensational ball
in the field, with spectacular
catches spelling several chances
for the "Scotties" to score prior
to their final inning rally. Dillon
made a sparkling catch of a long
fly ball hit far over his head by
Wilcox that prevented two runs
from scoring, and Nixon the little
stellar Monroe second baseman
raced to his left and speared line
drive off the bat of North which
retired the side with runners on
second and third base.
Plain City battcrs pounded out
five hits to the Monroe boys four.
Phelps pitching for the new county
champions struck out ten Monroe
batters and Lammi the Monroe
pitcher, whipped the same number
of Plain City men. Plain City
scored one run in the first inning
and three in the seventh. Monroe
counted two in the fifth and one
in the seventh.
Coach George Robinson Brought
the nice championship trophy
home and it is being displayed in
the window of the Ben Jones drug
store.

Just Like

For Eating
By Harry Macarthur


It probably is q good thing that
1.-THE actors have a union. There'c
be people taking advantage oi
them all over the place. They'd
be performing for free day anc
;lnight, just for the love of it. The
l|poor agents wouldn't have any
thing to take 10 per cent Of.
There is, for instance, Dave
Garroway. Mr.. Garroway was in
town the other day learning how
to draw a weather map, which
should show you how thorough
NBC-TV is being about its forth
coming morning program, ITO
day" You don't just go to any
convenient weather man to learn
how to draw q weather map fol
To-day" You go to headquarters
After he learned how to draw
q weather map, Mr.. Garroway was
IrelaxiI1g and got around to the
comparative ease Of doing a radio
show, which now seems to be a
cinch alongside the labors Of tele-
vision. Even with his new ITO
day" chore. Garroway is continu-
ing his daily HAS am. radio
program on NBC.
"It's almost obscene to take the
money" he said. "You walk into
THE studio, read a couple of Jokes
land go home. No work. And they
pay money"
Within "a hours and only a few
feet away from where Garroway
rendered his verdict Of radio as
a career, Hank Fort. the Statler
Embassy Rooms singer, was talk
ing about how she got her start
as an entertainer. Hank. who is
a Miss Cor. to be precise, a Mrs.)
despite the name. is composer of
long standing, with such gems
to her credit as "Save Your Con-
lfederate Money. Boys, the South
Will Rise Again." and several sing
ing commercials. AS a composer,
she used to make periodic trips
from her Nashville home to haunt
music publishers in Manhattan.
On one Of these jaunts she was
sitting in No. ! Fifth avenue
minding her own business when
the pianist, a friend of hers, in
vited her to play and sing one
Of her songs. She accepted, as
the saying goes, with alacrity and
played and sang several songs
with such success that the owner
of the bristo offered her a job.
She laughed and went back to
Nashville. A few months later
the same thing happened again.
Largely because nobody believed
her story the first time, Hank
showed interest this time. Inter-
est and a certain amount OF
skepticism. .. =
You mean you're going to pay
me to do this?" she asked. The
man allowed as how that was the
idea and she took the job.
Can you imagine that?" said
Hank the other evening. Getting
paid to sing my own songs. It's

FROM HOLLYWOOD
By Hal Humphrey

The promoters of so-called cul.
ltural or high-brow entertainment
always pain me when they wal
over the fact that the public gen.
erally does not support such clas-
sical stuff as the opera or q
philharmonic.
Whenever New York's Metro
Epolitan Opera or the Hollywood
Bowl here finds itself in dire f.
nancial straits, the management
points an accusing finger at the
poor, suffering public and says
in effect, Its all your fault, be-
cause you don't appreciate the
finer things"
/ Since John @. Public has beer
smeared as low-brow, our movie
1radio and TV bosses have gen.
lerally stuck to policy which has
left little, if any, room for opera
for fine music.
With all Of these things in
mind. ! asked Opera Star Helen
Traubel if she thought that tele-
vising the opera would have the
same beneficial effect on the gate
that it has had on such hish-class
events as wrestling and the roller
derbieS.
Miss Traubel had just finished
appearing with Jimmy Dllraate on
MICS "All Star Revue" and in
her operatic soprano had sung q
duet with Jimmy in which they
were prescribing more Swing and
bounce" for the opera.
II believe there is q potential
for the opera on TV, if the TV
adaptations Of the standard opera
works are done with judicious cuts
and editing" said Miss Traubel
The thought of streamlining an
opera for Tv did not seem to dis
turb her.
Opera should be done in Eng
lish. when it is performed in front
OF American audiences" she said
THE Europeans, whom we usually
look upon as our cultural su-
periors, have their opera done in
their own language. The French
hear it in French. the Italians in
Italian, and so on.
For us to attend opera done in
a forS'gn tongue Is just as silly as
If we insisted on having our own
musicals done in some other Ian
guage. know that opera patrons
say it just wouldn't sound right
If it weren't done in the language
1t was originally written in.
"But wouldn't it be something
now, II the French insisted or
hearing our South Pacific" done
in English? Would they know
what it was all about when Mar,
Martin sang. I'm Gonna Wash
That Man Right Outa' My Hair?''
/ Many people have asked Mis-.
Traubel If she is thinking OF leav.
ing opera for comedy, since hel
appearances with Durante.
Heavens! I'm not a come
dienne," she laughs, I'm just
Having good time, and isn't that
Durante person wonderful?"

Buses Continue
To Transport
Catholic Pupils

AUBURN, Me. - (RNS) - Pu-
pills of new Roman Catholic pa
rochial school in this community
will continue to get transportation
in public school buses, Joseph A.
Curran, transportation chairman
of the local School Committee, said
here.
Mr.. Curran's decision was an
nounced after City Solicitor Frank
w. Linnell had informed Mayor
Edward NJ Fields in a formal opin-
ion that municipal funds could not
be legally so used and that persist
ence in the practice might imperil
the city's subsidy from the state
education office.
MIR. Curran said he would not
order service to pupils of Sacred
Heart parochial school discontinue
ed until he as so directed by the
School Committee. Eliminating it,
he said, would not enable the city
to reduce the number of buses or
drivers it now uses.
In presenting his opinion, MIR.
Linnell warned that continuing
the practice might have two ''seri-
Gus consequences"
One was the possibility of a tax-
payers suit to have payment of the
local school tax declared illegal, he
said, and the other was the posi-
bility Of state aid being cut off.
The attorney quoted William o.
Bailey, acting state education COM
missioner, as saying state funds
could not be used for other than
public purposes.
School buses of some Maine cit
les and towns do pick up and dis
charge parochial school pupils
while on their regular routes. This
practice Is justified in some of
these communities by the claim
that no extra funds are thus ex-
pended, Mr.. Linnell said, adding
that he questioned whether courts
would uphold the assertion.
