BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR AMATEUR SPORTS

New York, N. "a bright prospect for
amateur athletics was forecasted here
today by Frederick w, Ruben, secretary
treasurer of the A. A. L., in his an
nual statement regarding sports.
Amateur athletics-track and field,
boxing wrestling, basketball. gymnastics
and swimming--is due for a big hoom,
said Ruben.
II am confident that these sports will
be practised more during the coming
season than ever before, due chiefly to
the great benefit derived by nearly b.
900 900 young men during the past Is
months in lie training camps here and
overseas, Young men who considered the
sports too strenuous are now shouting
their praises and viii not lose their in

There is talk of olympic games and
international competitions in amateur
boxing wrestling and swimming and the
list of national and local competitions al
ready planned far exceeds them of pre-

PINE CITY TO HAVE A
$1,000 MOVIE

H. N. Turner Of the Family
Theatre has purchased the Tier
ney property west Of the Court
House. now occupied by the old
Radden house and the building
occupied by Jake Kaelble and
expects to erect q modern
theatre building with all con-
veniences there in the spring.
The present plan calls for a build
ing 42x85 but this will probably
be changed to give more front
age. The entrance will face the
north and a turn made in the
lobby. The new building will be
Of brick and stone with tile floor
in the lobby and will have a bal
cony to care for the overflow
crowd and house the two ma
chimes that will be used. Seat
ing arrangements will care for
about 400 under the present
plan and this seating capacity
will be increased if the building
is made wider. Arrangements
are being made for a stage with
wings and drop curtain, and for
a regular orchestra pit.
Manager Turner expects to
spend about $4,000 on this
building and when he has finish
ed Pine City will be able to boast
Of the finest movie house be-
tween the Twin Cities and Twin
Ports. Mr.. Turner has set .
very high standard in the motion
picture game since coming here
and is exhibiting his faith in the
theatre going public Of Pine City
and vicinity by giving this city
a show house rs complete in
every detail as similar places in
the large cities Of the state. -
