The
Sport Shop
JOSEPH w. WALKER.

Although winter is supposed to be
here, those who live in this climate,
where the ice and snow may come,
but don't remain very long, miss
the fun of the real winter out of
door sports. II one manages to get
a solid week of ice skating here
for the entire winter the season is
a very cold one.
Those who have been used to ice
skating from December until early
in March miss the, sport. But one
great winter past time which boys
and girls in this section never get
chance to enjoy is skins. There
are no hills here which can be utii-
lied for that sport. while 1t is
doubtful of there fluid be enough
snow even If the hills were here.
The fun of looking on the
smooth expanse Of white from
high up on the hill; fitting
your feet into the smooth run
ners, and gliding off, to gain
speed almost instantly, and
then flash along, taking the
jump, and endeavorirg to keep
your balance, and then, II lucky
the triumph Of remaining up
as the incline straightens out
this all viii live here miss, un-
less they travel.
But while the inland boys may
have bit more fun out of doors in
the winter, it is the youth who
lives by the seashOre who has the
greatest enjoyment when the warm
weather comes around. OF all the
water sports, that of surf bathing
is believed by many to be the
greatest. Especially is this SO when
the surf board can be used.
Those who live by the sea fail
to appreciate the greatness of our
surf bathing, but leave 1t to the
youth from the lake or inand region
to tell him about it. odern youth
loves adventure, and the chance of
being tossed far and high by huge
comber is truly adventure, as far
as fun while bathing goes.
And then, again, there is the
art Of riding the waves in to
shore; allowing them to carry
you until the time they hit the
beach. The height Of the wave
must be almost just right to
make this sport ideal. Not
many can master the timing to
enjoy the riding" but to
those who have, the sport is
one which they enjoy each day
they can.
