"Because cancer funds benefit everyone, we have no trouble getting our home town enter-tainers to perform," said Mrs-Corbin- , "Neither do we have any difficulty getting a full house for the benefit performance." B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp SPECIAL NOTICE! Soft-ball meeting will be held Mon-day, April IS at 7:30 p.m. at the city hall. At the last regular BDAA meeting it was decided to again hold a softball league. Anyone desiring to enter a team in this league must have a representa-tive at the meeting next Monday. All who are interested are in-vited to attend and help in form-ing teams and get the softball rolling. Last year an eight-tea- m league was formed and a success-ful schedule completed. An even better season can be held this year if you fellows will only come out and help us get going. The old, but always fascinat-ing game of horseshoe pitching is about to be brought back to town. The BDAA voted to ap-propriate enough sets of shoes and pegs to hold forth a good old session of barnyard golf every day if possible. As soon as the equipment can be had, shoes will be available to anyone wishing to play. For any information on this, get in touch with me- A doubles and singles league is to be formed, and you'll be sur-prised what fun it is just to pitch a ringer or two. Bits About Bowlers So, the Southside Classic lea-gue is over, and BDAA finished the torrid season in fourth place. The Bingham boys, lacking a lit-tle practice, lost 3 of 4 the last night to Transportation Agency. Bill "Hot Shot" Ablett I calls him, tried valiantly to lead his teammates to victory with a siz-zling 631 series but it just wasn't in the cards. The BDAA entry did right well as the league was very close and made up of all Utah's best bowlers. The gals are still going at the Ritz and may do even better than the men did. This week they won one and lost three to Ritz Temple, who is in second place, which places the BDAA women in a tie for third place. With four more weeks of league play the girls are striving to maintain that position- Push that ball hard girls, and leave the cof-fee alone. Next week-en- d the Ritz Clas-sic starts and will feature many of the nation's best ten-pi- ii top-pier- s. There will be a BDAA pic-lur- e show Wednesday, April 17 at Princesg theatre.
