wish momentary relief from hot
hours on the road. Besieged by a
multitude of kids the Park Is
fast becoming a noted beach. It
has almost entirely replaced the old
picnic grounds at Fairy Lake. Over
the Fourth picnickers swarmed in
to the park where 1t is always cool,
where grownups and children alike
can refresh tagging bodies in the
cool of Sank Lake. Cars from var
ious states inhabited the Park
over the Fourth.
Was q time, and only recent
Iy, that o caravan of cars head
ed each evening to Fairy Lake
bearing half of the towns pop
ulation for an evening plunge.
A bath house was opened, pic
mics were enjoyed. everyone
thought It dandy place. Then
the city opened the Park
beach. It's proximity and sport
ing equipment and shady set
ting made it an ideal spot for
summer frOlic. It's popularity
has superseded that of the
Fairy Lake beach.
AS a lesser light in the sports
world Zone so dim its light is less
than that Of a firefly) this corner
can recommend the moving pic
lures of that classic bout between
Max Schmeling and Joe Louis.
Every blow is recorded at the best
possible angle. Every foot shuttle
is clearly shown on the screen.
The Louis punch is lightning quick
and even when the alleged Bomber
was on his last legs his left flayed
out again and again. The punch is
fast and seems to start at arms
length. A short punch, the jab Is
propelled from the body, not the
arm. Schmeling fights in crouch
with his left continually nestled
under his chin-his right awaiting
the moment especiale. Both were
cautious. Their defense in tight
spot was smuggling the chin on the
others shoulder to avoid sweep
ing right or left. When Max squar-
ed off to exchange double fisticuffs
with Louis, the Bomber had a
slight edge. It was his meat, and
the fact that Max knew that and
avoided a smuggling duel, exasperat-
ed and outwitted the Negro. 1t was
the silent waiting and wearing
down that got Louis. The spring in
the Louis legs was gone in the
tenth round. The dancing shuttle
that edged him into the Schmeling
defense was more stolid-less con-
fident. Max became more openly
rash when he saw Louis firing, and
bore in with his weaving body
growing more confident.
Characteristic Schmeling ges-
ture: Wiping his nose with his
right glove as he danced away
after landing a punch. Louis
never changed his expression
less face. He registered no pain
when struck-0nly darkness
that said nothing.
Imagine the batteries Of Gamer
as needed to photograph this fight.
Placed in every vantage point they
were flashing all the time. Then
the films were carefully gone over,
careful hands selecting the best
shots of the punches to show them
more dearly. Cutting and piecing
the film is a job and finally the
finished product. The slow motion
sections are photographed with
special cameras. The fourth round
knockdown is clearly shown in this
low speed unit, but the 18th round
knockdown is not. It is said that
the slow motion unit went hay
wire" just prior to the knockout.
Thus it is not in the picture.

Schoenhoff tells of the golf
course that Is probably among
the sportiest. Where the traps
are SO deep the caddies 1--WE
really hate to repeat this)-the
caddieS carry lanterns to find
the lie of the ball. Do they hit
water, Bernard?
There Is talk Of a strike among
the local unit OF the Pin Setters
Union. Ominous rumblings have is
sued from the sectors of the bowl
ing alley punctuated by the sharp
staccato Of pins hurled to the cell
ing. Well, almost anyway. You see,
that old southpaw Leon McCrack-
en- bends 200 pounds on the bowling
pellet and sends it hurting down
the alley and pins go flying. Pin
settlers have refused to set for
him-unless there is a handicap
weight tied to the port side arm OF
the Mac, or the pin settlers are
provided with a coat of mail and
suitable headgear. They may strike
to hold out for equipment unless
the Mac takes his bowling less
seriously.
