Don Stump was elected president of the Elks league, and Walter Brunnegraff was elected secretarytreasurer. Preliminary plans call for the league bowling to start Monday night, September 12. and run throughout the entire season. The league will bowl at the Mies alleys. At least four teams will be formed with a possibility of two additional teams, according to the enthusiasm shown at Friday's meeting. More than 30 Elks have registered for the various teams. A rules committee, appointed by Mr. Stump, is composed of Mr. Brunnegraff. J. L. Ehler, Ed Mutschler. Dave Baker and Paul Briede. This committee will drawup rules and by-laws to cover all questions regarding league play and make-up of the various teams. Members decided at last night's meeting to send four teams, composed of the 20 highest average bowlers, to the Elks national bowling congress, which will be held at Toledo. Ohio, next spring. Any active member of the Decatur lodge, wishing to bowl in the league, is asked to register at the home within the next few days. o ■ j G. 0. P.

the Cowboy” and a current legend ascribes it to a row between the good looking young Englishman and Merle Oberon, his former fiancee and the heroine of the picture. It’s an Interesting story only there isn't a word of truth

I lo it. Goldwyn had Niven's part written out of the script because London objected to a British attache (Niven’s role) being portrayed as a humorous figure. Diplomats musn't be laughed at —in pictures. The Stan Laurels are Impervious to lawsuits, terminated contracts or what have you. They have just bought a new ranch in the valley—■it has a swimming pool, tennis courts and all the trimmings—and they are planning a housewarming. Laurel, incidentally, says he is willing to carry out his end of the Hal Roach contract. The comedian | las $200,000 at stake, his salary ’or the two pictures covered by the igreement.

World”, with prehistoric animals. Surest way for a star to get fan mail is to be linked with a new diet. Jack Oakie, who ir down to 150 pounds in "Annabel Takes a Tour”, received 11,062 letters inquiring how he lost so much weight. The comedian responded with mimeographed copies of his , diet list (with suitable warnings) and he estimates that 10,000 people are now following the Oakie system. For my money, Hollywood’s most interesting new actor is John Garfield (Jules Garfield to Broadway). He dominates the screen every i time he appears in "Four Daugh- . ters”. The feat’s all the greater ; because Garfield is short fWarners say he is five feet nine but I doubt it). He has a rugged, unhandsome face but very expressive. His ears stand out worse than Gable’s ever did. But he commands instant attention and, when he is in a scene, it is difficult to see anybody else. Warners are very much alive to the fact that they have uncovered a winner. Garfield has been in Hollywood four months and the s'udio has five pictures lined up for him. One is the Richard Barthelmess role in "The Patent Leather Kid”. Gere Autry and Republic have smoked their pipe of peace. Understand his salary is doubled. Which means he will get SIO,OOO a picture for eight pictures a year. . . . Ray Milland and Paramount are making faces at each other. He wants a vacation. . . .

REDS AT HOME FOR LONG STAY Meet Every Other Teain In League During Long Home Stand i Pittsburgh. Aug. 27 - PhlladelI phia's Phils walloped the wobbling Pittsburgh Pirates for the third straight time Friday. 6 to 4. clustering five runs in the fifth inning I to come from behind. I Lefty Al Smith, who like old , Bill Hallahan Thursday, had not won a game all season, handcuffed the jittery Pirate hitters with seven safe blows. The Rational league leaders collected four of these. Including Paul Waner's triple and Pitcher Jim ; Tobin s double, in the first two I innings for three runs. But the Phillies chased Tobin with their | barrage in the fifth and Pittsburgh | never threatened thereafter. ' The Cubs climbed into undisput- . ed possession of third place in the ' National league by whipping the j Brooklyn Dodgers, 7 to 3 on the strength of a six-run outburst in the fifth inning. The win stretched the Cull streak to four straight. Clay Bryant went the route and chalked up his 12th win of the year. He also contributed a homer to the attack. The Boston Bees took the third ! game of the four-game series with j the Cincinnati Reds 6 to 1. as I Johnny allowed seven I hits.. Paul Derringer was sent to the I showers in the ninth after a threeI run eighth inning uprising. The , Bees scored three in the fifth, inI eluding a homer by Vince Di Mag- ' gio. Don Gutteridge's second triple ' of the day. with two out and a j mate on first in the ninth inning, broke a deadlock ad scored the ! run that gave the Cardinals a 7 ; to 6 victory over the New York : Giants. The Yankees and Cleveland ludI ians split a doubleheader before a j ladies day crowd of 37,139, leaving the New Yorkers 12 games in front in the American league race. Jimmy Foxx. Red Sox. "muscle i man," made the 2.000th hit of his major league carrer, then added two home runs for good measure as the Red Sox split a double-head-er with the Chicago White Sox. The veteran Ted Lyons pitched the visitors to a 12-to-2 victcry in the opener, but the Red Sox came back to squeeze out a 9 to 8 triumph in 10 innings of the nightcap. The Detroit Tigers advanced within a game and a half of the Washington Senators in their battle for a first division berth, winning the second of the three-game series, 9 to 3. behind Al Benton's steady hurling. The Athletics and Browns, split another double-header, St. Louis winning the second game. 6-4, as“Miss Brooklyn ” Jr x ~ I ** IE ; 1 FBI j Os t Vl W -,V a I ft" * M L" I I • & I b \ y F -. \ fl fl I * U ' W fl 1 I Barbara Beach Will this young lady be "Miss America of 1938”?
