The season for hikes and auto excursions has begun with op- portunities for beautiful scenic pic. lures of nature in her new dress; also for picnics which simply compel the presence of camera; also for parades-ta-ra-ra! Have you a good picture of a drum major in your album yet?
 And once more along comes the circus where, under the big top," with extra fast film and an ultra fast lens, you may capture thrilling snap. shots of that young man on the flying trapeze, not to mention revealing close-ups of the bearded lady and, as the circus press-agent would say, perfectly paralyzing portraits of the ponderous pachyderms.
 Soon, too. school and college com. mencement celebrations will be with us, and June weddings-outstanding occasions for taking memory pie lures, always to be cherished.
 It's true. Snapshot time Is here again. It's Spring! New pictures everywhere! Arise and shoot!

 NEA Service Sports Writer
 It would seem that Representative Raymond J. Cannon, the democrat out of Wisconsin, is going to bat for baseball players with two strikes on him.
 The good legislator, you know, has asked Attorney General Homer s. Cummings to investigate organized baseball, charging that its reserve clause, contained in every players contract, scores double-play against the law.
 Well, 1t may interest MT. Can- non to know that some IS years ago the U. s. supreme court nine ruled that organized baseball was not a trust and that the reserve clause in the players contract was necessary and legal.
 This clause, as you may know, Is sort of slave pact. It is most ore- sided. It gives the club the light to renew the contract when it ex- pires if the club so desires, but the player has no such choice. You see, at the end of the time he signed up for the player cannot go about scll- ing his services to the highest bid- der.
 No Interstate Commerce
 The supreme courts decision in the matter, delivered by the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, held that big league baseball was not in- terstate commerce and did not rep resent an attempt to monopolize within the sherman antitrust act. | It was rendered on May 29. 1922, in a suit brought by the Fed- eral league baseball team of Balti- more against the National and American leagues with Ban John- son, American president; John K. Tener, National president, and August Hermann, chairman of the defunct National baseball commits sion, as defendants.
 The Federal league, considered an outlaw organization, was formed in March, 1913, and operated for three seasons. In addition to Baltimore, the cities represented were Pitts burg. Brooklyn, Chicago, St. Louis, Buffalo, Kansas City, and Indianap- oils.
 These teams raided the National and American leagues for players, flouting the reserve clause and calls- ing the two major leagues no end of worry. At one time, for instan ;e, 1t looked like the great Walter John- son would jump over to the Federal. Only a tremendous pay increase, part of 1t donated by the Chicago Americans kept Walter in WaSh- ington.
 Pared Poorly Financially
 The Federal League, however, was far from a rotising success. If 1t gave the majors a headache 1t gave its packers one, too. Proof of the leagues financial unsoundness was the fact that Indianapolis surreri- dered its franchise to Newark after winning two straight penants be- cause the club was losing money.
 The civil war among baseball men came to an end in December, 1915, when the so-called Peace Agreement" was reached with the league being dissolved. All the teams agreed. except Baltimore. Baltimore refused to accept the agreement and found itself with a l ball team that didn't have any

Teton racketeer, looms as the sin
giles favorite. His dominance, tho
by a scant margin, over Bill
Bryan, in the final heat of the
bracket Sunday morning gave him
clearer field as he pushed aside
one of the men who might have de-
feated him. Don has an easy
! stroke. His backhand is as effect
i've as his forehand. He Is cool, IL
not under too much fire from har-
! rassers like Leon McCracken, and
he has the ability to come back.
Bryan, out Of practice 1t was grant
ed, employed the University OF
Minnesota touch to walk off with
the first set 60. His service Is
smashing, and his second Is as
good as his first. firing after his
match in which he eliminated Ray
McCracken, Bryan was unable to
carry the match further, and Otto
won the next two sets, 81, 60.
In that bracket too, Otto elimin-
ated Blycker just before the rain
started winning go, 80. While Don
had the advantage in being in
form, it was Blycker who plastered
the dope on the ball now and then
to pull in those cut shots. More
than often they brought Otto hot
/, footing it up to the net only to take
terrible backward bounce with
the force of the spin.
McCracken, playing the first
round against Bryan, gave a good
match but slipped into the Bryan
style of play to lose. It was game
of long lobs with Bryan moving in
closer to the net, then as one
would bounce higher, he'd rush in
for the kill scooting the ball to the
opposite side of the court catching
way out of position. Bryan won
60, Ga in two dandy sets.
Meanwhile in the younger play
ers bracket things were happening.
Rydholm was taking Cotton hand
lily in two straight sets, 60, Ga.
Yet defeat for Cotton was not ap-
parent, so cool and calm a player
is he. He has all the qualifications
for tourney play. His stroke Is
smooth, he doesn't readily get out
of position, he doesn't work too
hard, and he plays it with his head
not his feet.
Only a single match was run off
in the doubles entries that sports
ten teams. Cooper4Rydholm couplet
carried the match over B. Rattle
Arneson in two consecutive sets
81, 60. It's in this doubles list
that the real matches are expected
from now on.
Players are urged to get their
matches under way as soon as the
courts dry enough to play. Make
the reports of your sets to Bob

Parallel Parking Plan

torney Generals Department that
such structures as curb pumps
constitute an illegal obstruction OF
street or public way, because
streets and sidewalks are dedicated
to the public for public use and
cannot be taken or appropriated
for private use for business or
other purposes. 1t appears that the
municipality is without power to
permit such encroachment; and
where such an obstruction is per-
mitted to remain, the municipality
or it's officials are mourning a liza
bility by allowing such an obstruc-
ton to exist in case anyone is in
jured as a result.
We are enclosing herewith a
copy of a sample ordinance which
may be of assistance to you in
working out this problem. We are
also enclosing for your information
copies of memoranda attached to
District Court decisions by Judge
Flaherty, Of Morris, and Judge
Roeser, of st. Cloud.
Yours very truly,
Department of Highways.
w. F. Rosenwald,
Traffic Engineer.
The Council considered the three
problems and decided to publish or
dinances on each. That body de-
cided to allow thirty days for the
removal of curb pumps and to en-
force parallel parking as city or
dinance after the removal of the
pumps. The Council does not wish
to repaint the street markers until
street work is completed. The Or
dinance for the removal of curb
pumps will create a hardship on
some of our gasoline dealers, but
the Council has been informed that
it has no alternative in the mat
ter.
Representatives of the State
Department in the city

lice force on the fact that during
the past two years they had the
smallest number of complaints
ever entered from Sank Centre
