SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1948 MARINES BREAK INTO. BASEBALL “WON COLUMN” DEFEATED BOCA CHICA AG. GREGATION OF SERVICE MEN’S LEAGUE LAST EVE NING, 3-1 A ‘'vastly-improved | Marines | baseball team entered the victory column of the American division of the Island Service Men’s League for the first time last night by taking the measure of Boca Chica, 3-1. In tHe best played clash of the week, which showed masterful hurling by both contingents, the Boca Chicans scored one in the second but the winners came back with two in the third and another in the fifth for the eventual goal. Erwin Link, Marine moundsman from Deroit, struck out six and walked two, while Soltez, Army‘ * pitcher, issued a_ pair of free passes and whiffed three. The Boca Chicans, who have replaced the Fort Taylor 263rd Coast Artillery in the local cir- | cuit, produced an evenly-balanced | club ‘imtheir+ debut. and should cause plenty of trouble for the oth- er outfits before the long race is over. After a scoreles initial frame, the soldiers. started .off the sec- | ond with a single by Ibenez, third | baseman. He advanced on an er- | ror and then came ‘home on a hit | by Terciletti, catcher. The Marines assumed what proved to be the winning margin in the third when Reilly, short- stop, and Robbins, drew walks. Both advanced on an infield out and Owen, first base- man, came through with a timely | single to score both runners. With two away in the -fifth, Shroat, third baseman, singled, . stole second, and came romping across pay dirt on another timely hit by Owen to end the after- noon's scoring. Owen’s two hits in three trips served to lead the Marines’ at- tack and Torciletti got, the same »for ‘Boca Chica. | This win gives the Marines a} 500 percentage in the league stand- ings for they, were defeated pre- viously 7-4 by the Coast Guard Tonight ««at*: 5:30 the: Coast Gui will attempt ito retain their lack as’ lea: of I at the jai Se fa Fd ile. ating Base contingent which played a 10-10 tie game with the Sound School in the season’s ir- augural.

Meska, one of the NOB’s mainstays in its drive for a pen- nant a year ago, was a veteran of professional ball before entering the service. News from the National League division which uses the Army Barracks diamond for its playing field, shows the Naval Air Sta- tion and Commissary Store tied for the top with two.wins and no losses.

L, STEPHENS SENESCENT right field, | iP Yesterday: Kathleen Vaughan has rented her barn to Fred De- Mille and his-crew for a summer theater. The only difficulty is that she has decided to try for a part, and has postponed her wed- ding to Joe Neely. And Joe is taking it hard. Now Kathleen is at a dance with Fred, and Joe suddenly shows up with the com- pany ingenue. Chapter Six Unele Frank Talks “WELL, he’s apt to change be- fore the summer is over,” Fred said. “Ruby and Daisy aren’t | exactly unattractive.” “They’re lovely—both of them. but still ’'m not going to worry,” | Kathleen went on. “You like this man, Joe, don’t you?” “Yes. It’s one of those propin- quity things, though. You know, boy and girl growing up together |—everybody expecting them to marry sooner or later.” “And are you going to marry— sooner or later?” “That depends!” Before they could talk further the orchestra stopped playing at a signal from a plump little wo- man with a flushed, excited face and birdlike movements. “Now what?” said Fred. “That's Mrs. Buxton,” said Kath- |leen. “She’s going to make an an- |nouncement.. She’s thairman ;,of the committee for entertaining you theatrical people.” “Then I suppose I'd better pay tention.” “You will before Mrs. Buxton | gets through with you,” Kathleen Jaughed. “She’s a born manager and fixer. She’s been as excited over you people coming to Lin- | ville as we younger folks.” “Attention, please!” Mrs. Bux- ton called. “Everyone must come into the punch room. I want to see that everyone gets introduced | to everyone else. No one must miss meeting the charming actors jand actresses who’ve come down | to our little town.” | “Shall we go?” said Fred. “I’m neither actor nor actress—but I certainly could do with a glass of punch.” “So could I,” said Kathleen. “Besides, you’re just'as important as the actors. More so, I think.” “Thanks!” said Fred, pleased. “A director is absolutely neces- sary, I'd say,” Kathleen went on, as they moved toward the punch room. “Where would actors and actresses be without one?” “They do seem pretty helpless without someone ‘to tell them what to do,” he said. “Their imag- inations never ca the: m very ing entirely. FYou sound like my Frank,” said Kathleen. “Love’s Out” AUL PENNELL came up to them. He took Kathleen’s arm. “Come on, let’s make a real en- trance,” he said. “Listen,” said Fred. “Go find a girl of your own.” Paul ignored him, and smiled at Kathleen. “Do you mind if I’m the crowd?” he asked. “Certainly not,” said Kathleen. “I'm terribly excited—having a director and an actor escort me.” “I hope you noticed that she put e actor jast,” said Fred. “T did,” said Paul, “But she was only respecting your years.” | Mrs. Buxton greeted them. | “Kathleen Vaughan.” she said, her | Voice pitched, “you look ador- | able!” She turned shining eyes | upon the two men. “And what | charming escorts—two of them!” | “It’s my big moment,” said Kathleen, “You’ve met Mr. De- | Mille and Mr. Pennell, haven't you, Mrs. Buxton?” “T've met Mr. Pennell,” Mrs. Buxton replied. “But Mr. DeMille has positively avoided me.” “Not intentionally. I assure you,” said Fred. “Reconstructing barns and trying to make actors act their roles ‘instead of them- ati Uncle | th | Selves takes a lot of time.” “Of course it does!” Mrs. Bux- ton. agree eet Fred saw that Paul was trying to say something to Kathleen in Private, and frowned. “I sometimes think,” he said, “that it’s a downright shame to turn cows out of barns and put BRITISH ARMY i (Continued from Page One) actors in them. Cows being so un- selfed, you know.”? Mrs. Buxton, laughed lightly, missing the point entirely. And the four of them waiked into the punch room, Fred half expecting to step on exclamation points dropped by Mrs. Buxton. So fary he! thought; she hadn't made a statement that wasn't fol- lowed by one.

Love's out.” sound so cynical, Joe said Daisy Doran, who was still clinging to him. “I hate cynical men.” “There are no cynical men, real. ly,” said Ruby. “Defense mecha. nism—that’s all it is.” Mrs. Buxton began playing hos: tess*with all that she had in her. determined to see that everyone present was properly introduced to everyone else. And in due time Uncle Frank had met Ruby Howard. He eyed | her with interest. “Anything wrong with the way I look?” Ruby asked,’ puzzled. Uncle Frank replied. “Good heavens; doiI look: that bad?” years ago.” “That's even worse than your | first explanation.” Uncle Frank laughed. “I do seem to be getting in deeper. other girl looked when she was your age.” “That's better!” Ruby smiled. “Going to ask me to dance?” “Of course. Only I don’t rumba | or tango.” } “Neither dol... not very well. I waltz fairly well, however.” “So do I,” said Uncle Frank. “If I do say so as shouldn't.” They waited until Mrs. Buxton had drunk a toast to the success of “Ye Old Barn Drama House,” and then they returned to the big | room. “I see you've already met our | ‘oung celebrity,” said Uncle Frank, When they were waltzing with considerable ease and grace. H “Who do you mean?” wanted to know. “Joe Neely.” “Oh, is he a celebrity?” “He’s written some plays.

She’s my niece.” “How nice.” Ruby sighed. “Do keep her that way—nice.” “She wants to be an actress.” “Yes, I guessed that.” Joe Again mind me of was an actress.” “Yes? What happened to her?” “She's still acting. I suppose.” said Uncle Frank. “And having a pretty difficult time of it, I’m afraid. Being in the forties isn’t good for an actress who never really made the grade.” “I suppose not,” thoughtfully. “She might have made the grade,” Uncle Frank continued, “if she hadn’t been so self-cen- tered.” “Actresses have to be like that.” “But not as much so as Stella. She never thought of anyone but herself—never had time for the little courtesies and considera- with others something fine and splendid.” Uncle Frank caught himself. “Forgive me for going on like this.” he. said, “Seeing, you evidently put.me;in-a;neminiscent., mood. I’m sorry.” G » re “There’s nothing ‘to: forgive,” said Ruby. “About this local celebrity,” she said. “Is he really talented?” Uncle Frank nodded. “I'd ad- vise you to look into this writing ability of Joe Neely’s,” he said. .
