the big things of the year.
Patty Berg, that little Minneapo-
lis Miss, had the eyes Of Minneso'
ia golfers trained on her as she
battled valiantly against Mrs
Glenna Collect Ware on Interlachen
in the National women's golf
championship match. Mrs. Ware
who Yields the sceptor for another
year, finds herself as queen OF the
links for the sixth time. The East
erner recognized the ability OF the
Minnesota girl when she pro-
nounced Miss Berg "a marvellous
golfer" Minneapolis should be
proud Of little Patty Berg.
While we're on the subject
of golf-It's a fact that Sank
Centre has q sporty course
which has turned out some able
golfers. This year the play has
been light, yet the course has
been i'm the best of condition.
In fact the best condition for
several years. And getting to
the practical-a season of golf
can be enjoyed locally for less
'iron men" than on any similar
course for miles around.
II Joe Louis, the Detroit Bomber,
and Herr Max Baer, now ex-
champ, both fulfill their promises.
their bout will look to lovers OF
book lore like the mythical fight OF
the bingham dog and the calico
cat-with both Joe and Make
prone on the canvas. Critics are
busy with their ballyhoo. the pre-
fight build up. The questions pop
up: Can Lewis take a good punch!
Can Make settle down to train well
enough to deliver one? For the
Bomber we may say that twenty
knockouts in twenty-four profess
sional fights look good, and the
fact that, being a Negro, he Is get
ting a look-in in this bout Is some
indication that he has something.
Yes-we parry for Make moment
now-but Louis has had little real
competition. We will concede this
to Make, though. If the Baer can

offer Joe competition the like OF

Although autumn draws the
curtain on the tennis season
soon, it may be well to attract
the straying gaze of citizens TO
the growing interest In the ten
mis- situation. In the city young
aspirants of Tilden and Helen
wills Moody are battling to
play ON an over-wOrked court.
Tennis has claimed the atten-
ton of more persons all over
the country than any other
competitive sport, and 1t Is our
estimate In watching the wait
ing List at the Library court
that q hundred or more tennis
enthusiasts are eager to play.
We suggest that adherents OF
tennis keep the subject of more
courts buzzing necessarily In
the air.
