Speedway Men’s Softball The tournament is halfway finished with the following teams eliminated, having met defeat twice: Seniors, Bearcats and Mexicans. The Lions are in first place of the top bracket, having won all their tourney games. Just sitting there licking their chops waiting for the winner to come out of the bottom bracket for the final play off. The following teams are still in the running in the bottom bracket, all of them having been beaten once, Marathon, Lockers, Kats, and Flyers. On August 3 in the first game the Flyers muffed a golden opportunity to take the lead from the Marathons. They had the bases loaded twice but just couldn’t get them home. Time ran out at the end of the fifth with Marathon on top 6to 4. The Flyers tallied 2 each in the first and third and Marathon counted 3, 2 and 1 in the first, second and fourth.

The second game between the Kats and Bearcats went a full 7 innings, hard fought all the way, and ended in a 9 to 9 tie. The Kats made 3 in the second, 1 each in the third and fifth and 4 in the seventh. These teams elected to play it off at 2 p. m. Sunday, August 7 and in that game the Kats came off on top with a score of 3to 2. This eliminates the Bearcats and sends the Kats against the Lockers on Monday, August 8. Thursday, August 4. In the first game, the Lions and Mexicans tore at each other and just about had another tie game, but the Lions consistent hitting brought them the winning run in the 7th for a total of 8 to 7. The Lions scored 2 in the first and 1 in the

second against the Mexicans 5 in the second. In the fourth the Lions tied up with 2 more and then made 3 while the Mexicans settled for 2 in the seventh. This sends Lions against Marathons on Monday, August 8 and Mexicans against Flyers on August 9. In the second game of August 4 the Lockers and Seniors tangled and the Lockers evidently had no intention of losing this one for they sent the Seniors down 12 to 9. The count was 2,5, 2,3 in the first, second and fourth, and fifth for the Lockers and 2,5, and 2in the second, fifth and seventh for the Seniors who kept gallantly trying to come from behind. Several home runs were mighty good but there were insufficient runners on bases to add to their count and the Seniors went out on their second loss.

Monday, August 8 the Lions came out of their dens at full speed to cop the upper bracket win 5 to 3 over the Marathons. Lions scored 4 in the first and 1 in the second while Marathon made 2 in the first and 1 in the fourth to taste their first defeat of the tourney and third defeat of the entire season. This game got a late start but finished fast, mainly with 3 up and 3 down from the sceond on. Tie games seem to be a habit with the Kats. They did it again in the second game of August 8 with the Lockers 7 to 7. The score was tied at the end of the sixth and game called on account of darkness. This game will be played off at 6:30 August 10. The Lockers scored 1, 3 and 3 in the second, third and sixth while the Kats made 1,4, 1 and 1 in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Only one game Tuesday, August 9. The Flyers and Mexicans were Continued on Page 2

All-Stars Add Moriarity As Backfield Coach Indianapolis All-Stars began their third week of pre-season drill by adding Francis “Moe” Moriarity as backfield coach. Moriarity has been working out with the All-Stars with an eye on the fullback position for the past two weeks but due to his keen knowledge of football, playing skill, and able handling of players was a atural for the job. He will still be very definitely in the line up however come game time, barring no unforseen injuries. Head coach Ronald Dodds has also requested additional help in coaching the line and will receive assistance there also in the near future. 75 boys have expressed their intentions holding down positions thus far in the three weeks practice. . Although Dodds has been favorably impressed by the large turnout he has nevertheless been handicapped by having no assistants and having part of the boys attend only one of the two practices each week.

College experience has been very predominant in the turnout so far with 40 of the boys having had college experience and the remaining 35 boys high school and sand lot. Lt. Richard Barnes in charge of athletics at Camp Atterbury and known for his football playing at the University of Illinois before the war, is now making his try for the fullback position. Also Joe Gallant, All- Indiana Conference back at Franklin last year is hoping to hold down one of the backfield positions come game time. Boys like Graham of Indiana, Staley of Purdue, Moriarity of Butler, Turner of Hanover, Jacobs of Anderson, Mclntyre of Indiana Central, Dobkins of Xavier, and Hayes of Northern Illinois State College appear good bets for starting positions. Coach Dodds emphasized however that all positions are wide open and any one of the new boys may win one. f

Practice will continue on the Sunday - Wednesday basis throughout the month of August at the end of which time, the team will be trimmed to 25 boys which is Semi-pro Football Conference Rules. ST. CHRISTOPHER'S ANNUAL FESTIVAL, AUG. 16, 19, 20

Every member of the class is taking active part, which makes the church what we believe God intended. All have some talent or ability, to use that ability is to God’s glory, to not use it is to fail to glorify God as we are able. THE CONGREGATION now is laying complete plans for the remainder of this year and throughout next Several well known teachers and speakers have been selected for special sessions with the congregation. Among this group is Evangelist Hershal Ottwell of Hartford, Illinois, who will begin a series of services on Sunday, October 23. Other dates will be announced later. “The question, what is Mutual Ministry?” is an interesting one. Not alone does it belong to the worship service of the congregation, but to every deed, spiritual or moral. One must realize that in the Lord’s Church, century one, every man and woman was considered both saints and ministers. As every Christian had a ministry to perform, so all were considered ministers. The Lord’s people in our present day should be bound by the same rule without alteration.” Selected. Wealth saved, rusts with age . . . Soul saved, Uvea in
