Come a day—if ever—that the Giants take the Dodgers and the scene will be reenacted in reverse. | But those flareups never last more than a few hours. Bonnie Baker, the miniature Oh- Johnny-Oh Girl, was genuinely be- wildered by story that appeared in the papers about her recently. This story said she and Orrin Tucker couldn’t get married because Orrin’s family objected to the match. When I asked her about it. “Everybody thinks we are married, or engaged, or in love I've been with Orrin four years working with the band. We're good friends, but that's all. You might even say we're too close for any- thing else. I'm not married. I'm not engaged. I'm not in love. I'm just one of the guys in the band.” A note from “Dude” Higgs says he will come ba to America if he ever can find a way to get out of Chir Higgs is an American flier who has been training Chin- ese aviators for their fight with Japan.
