BOWLING

All in all, the bowling game in
Tacoma for the past year was
grand success from almost every
standpoint. and filled with many
upsets and surprises. II is the
absolute uncertainty Of the game
that provides charm. as no one
can predict Just now certain
games will end as witness the
winning Of the city championship
singles by Toby Anderson, who
has had a big handicap all season
in the City league and the win
ming of the singles cha mpionship
in the ladies' tournament by Olive
Node. then the winning Of the
doubles championship by Silseth
and Vsllish, who both bowled un-
suspiciously during the season;
and the winning Of the Pot o Gold
tournament by the Langelsnd Fur
mace team which rolled 2si2 net
pins. a score that would stand well
tn the ABc tournament at Cleve-
land. On the contrary. the crack
pin shooters from Seattle, includ-
ing the mighty Blum Herdmsn
Of Tacoma. rolled little more than
$500. and the Alt Heidelberg
team Of champions from Tacoma
got only 2,707 NAPLES down on the
alleys. doing far better, however,
in the singles and doubles.
About the only scores which
were rolled in accordance with the
averages was the winning Of the
diamond medal by Ted Tsdich in
a league match, and this event viii

was a sucker born every minute.
Last night, in Wrigley field
at Los Angeles he was proved
to be one of the worlds worst
mathematician when thousands
of persons paid serious money
TO see the joke fight between
Joe Louis and Jack Roper.
Every man, woman and child
there was a sucker. They didn't
lay their money on the line for
tickets blondly. They had been
warned in every newspaper,
weekly and daily, for months,
that Roper didn't have chance,
that he was veteran who had
been no good in his prime. and
that he didn't belong in the
same state, much less the same
ring, with the heavyweight
champion Of the world.
The events Of the night
proved the critics correct.
The echo OF the opening hell
still was ringing through
the park when Joe bopped
Roper on the profile and
sent him down for keeps.
The time was two minutes
and 20 seconds of the first round
and the only reason 1T lasted as
long as that was because Roper,
staggering from the first punch
the champion landed, was an
elusive target.
YES, JOE WAS LUCKY
Listening to the fight over the
radio ! heard Louis, after the
knockout, announce TO the world
that he was lucky. He never
spoke truer words. He is the
luckiest heavyweight champion
who ever lived. and for this rea-
son. There isn't a man living
who can give him decent work.

He picked up another chunk
of money last night. and early
in June will pick up another fist

his beer-ridden stomach. Galento
is another Roper, but the public
won't believe II.
There will be upwards of a
million dollars in the strong box
when Galento struts in for the
slaughter. Tony Will be lucky

night an announcer said that

To it like a huge moving picture in which
human beings had but the smallest part. The
lead taken by Earth, who at this time Of the
year is dressed up, it seemed, just for such occas
ions. It is a memory that will live long after
others have faded. You will not be satisfied until
you have gone up again and again. See if what
have said is not true.
Flying at one time another has been ambi-
tion that has lived in the heart of every fellow and
even number Of the fairer Ne dream of
day flying of the models have made and stored
in the attic cellar; of owning ship Of
own which we can fly to hearts content. Up to
the present time these have been dreams Of youth.
Now, through the aid Of Uncle Sam who has appro-
priated money to help these dreams true,
learn to fly at a very moderate cost. AS result
of Federal project, the University Of Maryland
and George Washington University training
certain number Of students to fly each year for
5-year period of time. This number will include 10
percent Of nonco1lege students. Most Of the train
ing cost will be carried by the Federal Government.
The only costs to the student Will be insurance,
tuition, and class fees. The total cost to the STU
dent would less than SO. It pointed out to
me by ,ir. Scribner that this would take
student through his private License, which would
permit him to carry passengers. Although it would
not constitute in flying, it would certain
ly afford him with very worthwhile pastime and
hobDy.
