SAN DIEGO WITH

.VACATI0NISTS
Summer Sports, Pleas
ures Abound on Every
Hand

SAN DIEGO, June 5.-San Diego
is expecting the largest crowds
this summer that the city has ever
entertained and everything points
to realization o. these cXpecta-
tions. Consistent preparations are
being made for a large influx of
visitors. Ac Coronado Tent City,
for example, these preparations
have been in progress for months
and mean increased facilities for
handling visitors at that resort.
Time was when San Diego had
little to offer the summer visitor
but remarkably equable climate
and fine bay. Today, with it's
100000 inhabitants, its good
streets, its Balboa Park, its army
and navy buildings, its appeal is
well nigh irresistible. Like other
parts of California, too, it has many
spots of rich historic interest.
Many Summer Sports
A great variety of summer sports
may be enjoyed by summer visi-
tors. Motoring is a real delight.
with good roads and scores of
interesting places to be seen. Golf
tennis, fishing, bathing and boat
ing also are popular. Water sports
particularly are of more than Or
dinary interest, the members of the
San Diego Rowing Club, with mem
bers of other organizations, taking
an active part in all forms of
aquatic sports.
One feature that appeals to
many is the fact that even the
youngsters are not overlooked at
the various beaches, so far as sports
and recreation arc concerned.
The outdoor organ concerts IN
Balboa Park are an attraction that
draw goodSized crowds. Balboa
Park, with its 140G acres, is Il rare
attraction. In this wonderful park
with its beautiful setting, is the
ZOO, on which thousands of dollars
have been expended and on which
many more dollars will be spent IL
the future. There are other note
worthy features, too, among then
being the museum, the civic audi
torium and the various buildings

turo.

The draft, | learned from experience, is
the best thing in the world for advancing
the players in their profession, and there
are mighty few players in the minors who
don't look forward TO going to the big show
