stands in the way Of getting this

QUINN AND LEAHY
PLAY IN FINALS

On last Saturday afternoon Rev.
Z. Z. Gum eliminated c. Buss from
the list of those eligible for the local
tennis championship. Buss put up q
splendid fight, bringing most of the
games up to a deuce score, but Gum,
playing stronger game managed to
take twelve straight games, winning
two love sets.
On Monday afternoon, Reverend
Gum defeated George Leahy in the
last semi-final of the tournament,
winning two fast sets with scores Of
SIX to three and six to four. After
allowing Gum to take the first three
games, Leahy brought the first set
up to three games all, then appeared
to weaken and Gum took the next
three games in fast straight playing.
In the second set Leahy took the.
first game and Gum the second, the
score raising one game each, and
staying even in this manner until the
score stood four game all, when Gum
brought up his reserve force and took
the next two games, winning both the
set and match.
The final match will be played
some time this week between Rever-
end Gum and Walter Leahy the last
two contenders for the title.
Leahy defeated Robert Young and
j. M. Hutchinson in preliminary
matches and was scheduled to play
A. L. Rodgers in the semi-finaIs, but
due to i'll health of the latter this
match cannot be played, and as Gum
and Leahy are the only two partici-
pants who have not been defeated,
they will meet in the finals.
Upon the completion Of this final
match the City Drug Store will award
a Wright & Dittson tennis recquet
to the winner and the Magic City
Tire Company will present a Spauld-
ing recquet cover to the runner-up.

Swamp Road
Fixed At Last

The road through Pearl River
spot which has caused tourists as we'll
as citizens on both sides of the river
to become better acquainted, has at
last been placed in good condition.
Action came following the request
of ]. A. Spekenhier, chairman of the
Good Roads Committee of the Boga-
lusa Chamber of Commerce, to ask
the City of Bogalusa to pay the ex-
pense of putting the road in condi-
ton. Federal Engineer Smith, in
charge of the roads in that vicinity,
rendered assistance in the work. City
Engineer Willis had his crew in the
swamp filling in some holes and re-
ducing bumps. Many truckloads of
gravel were placed in the bad holes
and 1t IS now believed the road will
hold up until the new road leading
from the bridge is completed.
The bridge and approach on this
side of the river was completed sew
eral months ago, but the approach on
the Pearl River side was completed
only last week. For the past several
weeks it has been almost impossible
to drive through the swamp and the
SeA-A pay els "OlC DCLOIuIllS IlulSIldHL
over the conditions. When Mr.. Smith
assumed charge of the road, one of
his first acts was to secure permission
to repair the road. The delay on that
side was caused by lack of gravel and
equipment
Mr.. Smith states the work of gray
cling the road to Poplarville will be
completed in short time. His crews
have just reached the far end of the
swamp and it is expected that within
the next thirty days the road will be
completed to the bridge, and then the
benefits of the bridge can be fully
enjoyed.
The completion of the bridge and
the road will mean a great deal to
both communities and attract scores
of tourists to this section.

Perhaps there is no one sport in

At little expense a road could be
built to the bank of the creek and
two houses built for dressing rooms.
This would permit many to enjoy the
sport who do not now indulge on ac-
count of the inconvenience of wear
ing their bathing suits home or of
changing clothes in the woods.

OF MELONS
SHOW DAILY INCREASE

. Indications are that the shipments
Of watermelons from this vicinity will
increase with a rush the early part
of next week, as the melons are now
ripening fast. To date only about
ten carloads have been shipped, but
by the end end of next week it is
expected this number will be shipped
daily. Buyers are on the ground to
purchase the crop.
It is now estimated that not more
than $50 carloads of melons will be
shipped from this section, owing to
the fact that crops were greatly dam
aged by the heavy rains Of the past
thirty days.
