DEATH DODGERS
 AT CHERRY PARK
Avon Fair Opens for Three Days Sept. %; Stunts
 to Be Featured

Avon, Sept. 12. The Jimmie Lynch Death Dodgers, ranked as the na- tion's outstanding automobile dare devils after their two-year perform anceS at the New York Worlds Fair, have been contracted to ap- pear at the Cherry Park Fair which will be conducted here Friday, Sat- urday and Sunday, Sept. 26, 27 and 28.
 The Death Dodgers are slated to appear twice daily, Saturday and Sunday. Harness horse racing will be the Friday feature.
 Selection of the Death Dodgers for the headline event at the fair this fall was based on the out- standing record of the Jimmie Lynch troupe over e period of years and also because of the daring stunts attempted by these death- defying test pilots.
 unlike many other thrill shows which feature Q single driver, the Death Dodgers have an array oi fine test pilots-lnen who were per- Sonally trained by the versatile Jimmie Lynch. These include such intrepid stars as George Mason, a 135-pound Philadelphia midget au- to race track brilliant: Bob May. nard, a veteran Lynch expert; Jimmie Kelley, former football star from Snow Shoe, Pa; Bill Horton, Texan from Fl Paso, and Barney Walker, a North Carolina newcomer to this risky profession.
 Because of the many dangerous stunts, more drivers are required fol the execution of these defy ing acts. Each driver has at least two specialties for which he trains daily. The spine -tingling repertoire of the Death Dodgers lasts for two hours and offers variety of tho most perilous stunts ever attempted by automobile daredevils.

Durocher Plays to Win Flag, Keep Job
No Mistakes On Routine PIoys With Boss in Action
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

flew York, Sept. 12. - BrooKIyn wants to win its first pennant In el years.
 Leo Ernest Durocher wants . new contract as manager.
 So Leo Durocher finally went to work.
 Lippy Leo Durocher did this re- iuctantly.
 The long time Flying French man aspires to the realization or the dream of most old ball play ers-to be & bench manager.
 Though almost daily 1t became more evident that Harold Henry Reese was the one weak spot in the Flatbush armor, after espe- cially bad days, Durocher kept tell- ing the ShortStop:
 "You don't suspect you're gonna get me in there that way, do youp Forget what happened today. You're still my shortstop and you're gonna be my shortstop for a long time"
 It was, of course, the boss way of cheering up a youngster, but at the same time Durocher was pulling hard for Pee Wee Reese to shake his attack of jitters.
 Durocher was criticized by Brook j lyn officials, including President Leland Stanford MacPhail, for his ! failure to get in condition and be ready for the emergency that de- veloped.
 CONSIDERED SHIFTING REISER TO SHORTST0P
 When Howard Pollet reported to give the St. Louis Cardinals 1l- creased momentum, 1t was pointed out that Durocher hadn't worked out 10 times all season, hadn'tsfield- ed 100 ground balls.
 It wasn't until 1t became very plain that 1t was going to be a bitter fight right down to the last shot that Durocher really put some effort into whipping himself in shape.
 Even when he admitted that it might be well to get the unsteady Taese off the premises, he toyed with the idea of bringing in the versatile Pete Reiser from center field.
 sudA c move, he pointed out, would give the club more power with Jimmy Wasdell in right field and Dixie Walker in center. But Coach Charley Dressen did not think much of such . switch.
 'tRaiser definitely is not e short sEop," asserted the former Cincin- naM manager to whom Larry Mac Phatl listens. 'He has stiff wrists. The boy is playing great ball in center field. That's where he be- aongG"
 Durocher next complained of 6 charley horse, but finally got into the thick of things.
 The previous time or two he took over this season he was too stiff the following day that he couldn't comb his hair, but that was because he was unprepared.
 There Is feeling now that he could stick 1t out If he would stay ! in the lineup until he is in stride physically and mechanically.
 DUROCHERs PRESENCE
 GIVES DODGERS LIFT
 Durocher at 35 can't cover the ground he once did, but he knows what to do with the ball once he gets his mitts on 1t and he re- mains one of the more skillful hands on double play. With the boss in action, there are no mis- takes on routine infield plays.
 ReeSe's trouble, as Dick Bartell of the Giants points out, might have been that he was trying to get the ball away too fast.
 But the Louisville kid was in the worst batting slump of his career. His average tumbled to .223, 49 points below what he hit in 1940. ERa had AAA AA

CONSERVATION
MEETING DRAWS
ELY DELEGATES
To Present Local Opinion at
Brainerd Conference Set
to Start Saturday.

Conservation leaders from northern
Minnesota, and from other portions of
the state as well, will convene in
Brainerd Saturday and Sunday for the
second annual Minnesota conservation
congress.
The congress is committed to the
task of finding a common ground that
will provide workable basis for legis-
lation designed to benefit the largest
possible number of Minnesota's citi-
zens.
That the conservation department
and Minnesota's lawmakers at the
session next year win pay much re-
spect to the findings of the congress
is a foregone conclusion.
A group of local men, headed by
Ray Hoefier, secretary of the Ely Com
mercial club, viii attend the con-
gress to express this territory's views
on problems vital to it, Hoefler said.
The party, which is now being organ
lied, will attend under the sponsorship
of the Commercial club, and will
leave Saturday morning.
In, tcative of the scope of conser-
vation problems coming up is the five
page QUESTIONABLE containing some one
hundred questions sent out to civic
groups and clubs throughout the
state
They appear under IA headings, for
estry, water levels, big game animals,
small game, fur-bearing animals, water
fowl, upland game birds, game fish,
minnows, rough fish, spearing and
winter angling, conservation areas and
propagation, tourist bureau, and gen.
eral.
Of most immediate concern are the
problems relative to spearing and
winter angling. Up for discussion will
be the conservation departments policy
of closing lakes alternately to all
winter spearing, regulations governing
winter fishing in inland waters, clos
ing of all spring Spearing as an emer-
gency order, closing Of winter angling
from Jan. to May Is, and closing of
spearing and species to be protected
Another pertinent matter involves
fur-bearing animals and the opening

Echo Trail Camp Widely Known
ye RiUer abandoned, But Work Will Not be Forgot

It was Memorial day, 1870 a. m.
to be exact-when 200 somewhat citi-
fed CCC enrolleeS arrived at the new
Portage River campsite. There wasn't
any camp-only a clearing burned out
by an ancient fire in the heart of the
Superior National Forest.
]. w Shaw, new superintendent,
scrutinized the 1at-chested, pale-faced
lot somewhat sadly, then began iSsu-
ing orders, for there was much work
TO be done.
Evening arrived and where barren
ground had been there stood 80 tents
barracks, kitchens, mess tent. And
best Of all inside the mess tent was
a steaming hot dinner just prepared
under the canvas Of the kitchen.
I've seen a turnover Of hundreds
Of enroIlees since then" Shaw unused
as this week he prepared TO put Port
age River under lock and key, 'but
every boy that has gone out was in
better shape than when he came in.
"A lot of these boys have enlisted
IN the armed forces of the nation, and
reports have come to me that they
form the cream of their units he said.
They have been taught discipline and
know how to work together"
The tent city that went up on that
Memorial day eight years ago was re-
placed in the fall with the present
wood buildings, the last one erected by
the end of November.
From then until the order came
through to abandon the camp because
its work area had been nearly ex-
hauSted, Co. I'll at Portage River had
become known throughout the Superior
and northern Minnesota, and was
probably one Of the most widely known
in the state.
Putting Portage River on the map
10 a large extent were the unlimited
recruits" who Joined up nearly from
the day the tents went up. They con-
fined their activities mainly to digging
over table Ieftovers, and often in max
ing a general nuisance of themselves.
Portage Rivers bears made the camp
the summer show place of the Mime
sofa Arrowhead. What will the bears
do now that the camp is closed?
We'll. they'll probably go back to
nature and their berries" Shaw said.
But we certainly helped them out
