heat Of the past two weeks has
prompted only swimming in the
way of summer local sports. Now
we expect that the golf course will
be well populated after hours, the
tennis courts should have their
run. Understand that new tapes
have been received for the Library
court and will be placed now that
the players won't fry in the broil-
ing sun. While they've had their
difficulties keeping the golf course
in shape with the continued
drouth, the green's have been kept
in good shape even IL the fairways
are brown. Swimming will fade in
to the background as one of the
major sports If the cool weather
continues. During the hot spell the
park was so thick with persons
that the census, by nose count,
could have been taken. Evenings
saw the beach lighted and we'll
filled with persons. Sunday evening
1t was a lonesome place with not
a soul swimming, however, in the
afternoon a good crowd was pad
uAAAA6 okooho.
HO Hum! So dumb. He
thought the one-buck law was
advancing the resident fishing
license to one dollar. According
to statistics in the Minnesota
COnservatiOnist the vote pOlled
by them In regard to the law
has registered 1875 per cent in
favor of its passage and only
lis per cent dissenting vote.
The Arrowhead association,
powerful spOrtsmen's group, of
the northeast sector of Mime
sofa, is numbered with the dis
senters.
The Junior Legion baseball team
will be back on the diamond again
beginning next Sunday when they
meet the town team on the Fair
Grounds lot. The Legionnaires
have been inactive during the past
two weeks because of the hot
weather and many Of their stars
have been in camp. They're going
to go to town in competition with
a team considerably older than
themselves. Next Sunday at the
Fair Grounds the second half of
their season will get under way. No
further arrangements in schedule
was announced by manager Vern
Soltau.
You can't have your cake
and eat IL, and Frank x.
Shields, tennis ace, can't have
his tennis and the movies too.
1t gripes Mr.. Shields no little
that he must forsaloe his tennis
career for the movies. He
would prefer TO continue both,
but the movies, he deems them
q more lucrative profession, oc-
cupy too much of his time.
Where his shoes pinch the
highest is the fact that in the
movies he Is just another hard
working youngster at the bot
tom of the heap, but in tennis
he was lord and master of all
he surveyed.
Donkey ball isn't the cats pajam-
as after all. The Legion sponsored
the event with a two-night stand
last Thursday and Friday evening.
It was merry fest on Thursday
evening under the lights with the
Junior Legion outfit playing a
south Of town team. The donkeys
acted up for fair and it went over
pretty fair with an average crowd.
Friday evenings session never got
under way, however, because the
crowd was too small. It is our OPP
inion that a two night stand Is too
long a time and donkey ball has
been shown here before. It's fun
the first time, but the novelty
wears off in several innings. For
after all a donkey can do only so
many tricks.
II there are Jews among the
American contingent to the
Berlin olympic games, their
achievements will receive no
heralding in the Jewish press.
Herr Hitler has ordered that
all Jewish newspapers In Ber-
lin are forbidden to report the
Olympic activities Of Jewish
athletes. 1t seems a foolish
move to allow a prejudice to
collar a sports activity in that
manner. Peering into the sill

Ways sees though this advan-
