SportitorialS
BY BILL kROHN

This flying sure is great sport.
Take. for instance, an occurrence
which happened Friday.
That flying devil, Arthur Oakley,
wanted to see the sights in the dis
trict court room.
But the place was full up, and
Arthur couldn't get in on foot
So he gets him his aeroplane, and
flies around the, sides of the court
house building and peeks in the win
dows.
And the bailiff is reported as hav-
ing rushed to the roof.
So that Arthur wouldn't get nearer
TO the jurors who camp under the
dome than the law allows.
They might have to station one OF
the sub-deputies on the roof TO com
ply with the law.
Maybe they could let Bud Blew the
place. (Uh, uh).
Or Frank Ketch it,
Or let McLain ii.
Al any rate, Oakley played rings
around the whole kaboodle.
And Oakleys pilot, Askew, was there
too.
Askew is some night flyer-ask Jim
Barron, he knows.
