town has to offer no matter
what age. Russ works hard at
any game to learn it, and now
his tennis comes to him effort
lessly. He's more than usually
consistent, and it's on this score
he usually takes his more err
ratio Oldsters. He wears 'em
down with his consistency. :.
But things haven't taken such
bad turn. Russ has no cOmpe-
tition. His rise has been quick
and he's taking the No. seat
right now. =. Who'll plunk in

Baseball in this mans town needs
a hypo. This year two teams start
ed out and the senior Legion team
Is still going though its competition
Is not what the boys would like. 1.
Games are hard to get when your
team Is a montague member, and
the gang has had to resort to such
pickup teams as they can get. /.
Basebalps always had tough row
to hoe in this mans town. It has
plenty of competition from the golf
course, tennis, lake In our back
yard and all the rest. Under the
Legion it's taken a new lease on life
with the younger fellows, but even
then it's tough grind. Now
with the midway tournaments on
for the Junior Legion rank, the boys
are not in the running. Some Of
them have piled off to camp, others
have forsaken the call of the dia-
mond. To all intents and pur-
poses the Junior boys have folded
their tents. But the seniors carry
on. Manager Vern Soltau Is
hoping next year things will break
so a formation of some kind OF
league can be made. COMPETE
ton will be greatly strengthened in
that event. -.
Prexy Blycker's-and he's a papa
now too for which this corner ex-
tends Observation-Disclosures pull
ed a sneaker last Thursday evening
when they busted off their first
tournament of the year without any
rain. That evening the weekly
Journeys got underway with blind
DOGGY handicap that found George
Rasmussen low man for the initial
winner. And from that the reg
ime has taken heart. Heart enough
to plant on themselves short stop
tournament for next Sunday with
invitations extended to all the sur
rounding course members. :. And
they hope it won't rain. These
Thursday evening rounds simulate
the weekly matches held last year
that proved TO be duel over the
much-vaunted tin cup that passed
through so many hands. And
it looks like the boys are on their
way. -.
Sunday morning in the Park
A whisp of breeze ruffled
the leaves overhead. And
the kerplunk Of splashing bod
les kept up a rhythmic tattoo
as the gang left the diving
board. Meanwhile lowered
my head on q grassy platt just
to relax. On the bridge
were three young anglers.
They were the epitome of the
poets or the artists dream Of
youthful fishermeh. Straw
hats, cane poles, the bObbing
cork, all was correct except for
one thing. They weren't
barefoot. Funniest detail Of
the whole affair was when the
smallest Lad dropped his straw
hat in the drink. :. The three
were busily engaged trying to
hook the sailing SKINNER.
Over on the beach Dick Bassett
and heir to his estate. young
Jimmy, were threshing around
the water. -.
