swearing he stops thinking. Didn't
you ever notice it? Well, just notice
and see. We don't endeavor to explain
it, but it is so. There must be some
psychological explanation for it-as. for
instance, just at that moment the devil
gets into the brain and scrambles it
up SO it cannot think. 1t is Just like

Earl F. linn, physical director at

swimming now employed by the ma
jority of men who are already able to
get around in the water. Investiga-

classes will be opened principally for
their benefit.
Monday and Thursday at eight

evening classes and the afternoon
classes will be held at five O'Clock on
Tuesday and Friday. Registration in
the evening class has been largest to
date and will probably be the most

A rumor was current on the streets
this morning that the franchise held

In the Central Assoniatiin was being

could be secured and it Is not known
where 1t started.
President Justice said that he had.
heard nothing of the proposed ex-

From his conversation it was gather

the season in good shape.

has received the advance information
of their probable action.
President Griffey told The Gate City
today that he had heard nothing at all
regarding the disposition of the fran
chise and that it was probably start

that Waterloo wanted to get into this
league. Mr.. Joyce, one of the direc

the league this year and that he car
see no reason for the report. Sec

that there is nothing ito the rumor.
