Speedway Indians Win County "D" Championship Last Tuesday the Speedway Indians of the YMCA National Traveling League lin a play off game defeated Clermont our nemesis 15-0. Prior to last week, we were upset twice during regular season play by scores of 5-3 and 4-3 in extra inning games. However, the other night it was a different story. With Matthews pitching fine ball, especially with men on bases was a deciding factor. Incidentally, unknown to many people, he came off a sick bed and did an outstanding job. Crandall was his battery mate. The entire team really had thenbase hits stored for this all important game and came through like real champions. Nilson had four for four to lead the team in batting. J. Nilson, H. Robbins and F. Benedetto hit home runs which cleared the fence with plenty to spare at the 10th Street diamond. The turning point of the game occurred in the top half of the fourth inning. With the Indians leading one to nothing, Clermont had boys on second and third with two away. Pless hit a hard line drive toward short and F. Benedetto made a spectacular catch to end the inning. The Indians in their bottom half scored five times with Nilson hitting a solo homer and Robbins hitting one with two mates aboard. With the entire playing roster participating, we gathered 17 hits in all. The win qualified us for the Indianapolis City championship which begins Monday. The team is ably coached by G. Haettinger, H. Robbins, C. Urban and L. Benedetto. Summer Festival A Summer Festival will be held on August 7 and August 8, at St. Joseph’s Church, 1400 S. Mickley Avenue.

"The Boy Friend" One of the most successful examples of reverse lend-lease on record, a British musical satire called “The Boy Friend,” will be presented by Starlight Musicals Tuesday, August 11 to Sunday, August 16, iat the Butler Bowl. After more than 15 years this spoof by Sandy Wilson of the song iand dance jamborees of the 1920’s has proved to be the first Landon born musical to be an American hit also since Noel Coward’s “Bittersweet.” American made hits, from “Oklahoma” to “Fanny,” have invariably been acclaimed in London from the early forties onward. But during that time, until the New York opening of “The Boy Friend” in the fall of 1954, the only English entertainment with melodies attached that could draw an audience in the U. S. consisted of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. “The Boy Friend” is a lampoon of the entertainment patterns of the madcap decade that starred Babe Ruth, Texas Guinan, speakeasies, flat chested flappers and jazz, silly but elaborate lyrics that rhyme “Necessity” with “Confess It He,” and amusingly banal love songs—and it also travesties the kind of plot and dialogue styles of musicals of that period. Its plot is, of course, another Cinderella version, about a wistful, lonely, rich girl who falls in love with an attractive messenger boy, whose station dooms their romance. But just when the heroine’s heart is about to break over this situation, she learns that her lowly beau is none other than the eligible son of a British peer. For sub-plots, the heroine’s three girl friends in the boarding school also have their frustrating romances, and a long-separated older couple have a tentative fanning back of their old flame for each other. Jet MacDonald and Don Crichton star as the young lovers, with Barbara Ashley as the headmistress of the boarding school. Others in the top cast, brought from Broadway, includes Ronald Field, Barbara Gilbert, Craig Timberlake, Robert Bardwell, Christina Gillespie, Kathleen Freeman, and Joyce Roberts. The show opens Tuesday, August 11, at the Butler Bowl. Tickets may be ordered from Ross and Babcock Ticket Agency in the Claypool Hotel or bought at the boxoffice after 5 p.m. through Sunday, August 16. SENIOR C.YT.
