Softball Classic THE Mighty Men of Dennis Morgan recently lost to the Jack Carson Clouters, 28 to 24, in the fourth annual "Out Of This World Series" Softball benefit game staged by the Hollywood Junior Chamber of Commerce at Cilmer Field. Both teams boasted stars of screen, radio and television. The "bat girls" were all glamour girls and they just about won all the honors despite the athletic prowess of the male stars. The contest netted about $25,000 for charitable and youth welfare purposes. Naturally, the game was played for the fun of it. There was far more comedy than baseball. Nevertheless, the players got bruised and battered during the game. David Brian gets a toehold at the plate as he takes his turn at bat for the Morgan Men. Mel Torme nurses his jaw after it was struck by a batted ball. Roddy McDowell gets details of how it happened from Gloria De Haven, one of "bat girls." Dorothy Lamour and husband, Bill Howard, are welcomed at game by Barbara Britton. John Agar, who hit home run, with Comic Sara Berner of NBC. John didn't use trick bat. Jack Carson, Lisa Kirk, Dennis Day, Marilyn Maxwell express Clouters' do-or-die spirit.
