UnheraIded Girl
Of II Flashes in
Parks Tennis
Phyllis Hunter Downs
Defending Champion,
Gets High Tribute
By the Associated Press

og INV HreSk.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. l5.-f VOL
like a long shot in tennis, here's
an unknown for YOU: PHYLLIS
Hunter, II, Watertown. S Oak.
She's blond, husky I35 pounds),
bashful but determined. and she's
been playing for years. She's never
played outside of Minnesota and the
Dakotas and until this wear she
never played in tournament, but
what she's been doing since shs
started is worth recording.
First she won the North Central,
a small Northwest meet. Then she
captured the women's singles OF the
Northwest Clay Courts, which is
pretty good meet in these parts.
Eliminates Champion.
But she brought the experts look
ing yesterday when she eliminated
from the second round of the Ma
tional Public Parks and Fairgrounds
Tennis Championships. being played
here, the seasoned campaigner most
spectators were picking for the
women's singles title-Helen Ger
maine, the strong New York girl
twice champion of this tournament,
once in 1882 and again last year.
Her victory was no f1uke. Let
Miss Germaine authorize that, thus:
You know. I've played a little
tennis. Won this tournament twice
and few others like the Metropol-
itan of Los Angeles. I think I know
a tennis player when I see one and
you won't go wrong on this girl.
Performs Like a Veteran.
Think of It'll and she plays
like she'd played for years. You hit
a ball there figuring she won't be
there and, darn. if she isn't there
before the ball is. She has a swell
variety OF shots. Not much power
yet, but she's built 10 get that later.
Yes, you just mark her down among
the country's real prospects"
Her triumph over Miss Germains
was the harder in that after divid-
ing two sets Wednesday when rain
interrupted play. she came back
sNcSNANoS ollo lOOh lllC dCNluIIlk cSIs
The scores were 6-3, ST, IS.
Tutors Her Conqueror.
Her poise was impressive. After
she took a three-game lead, her
service went. to pieces and she dou-
bic -faulted three times in succession.
That and other lapses enabled Miss
Germaine to knot the games at sail,
but the calm South Dakotan. out
playing her much more experienced
opponent, ran out the next two
games in style that had men con.
testants in the gallery exclaiming:
That little girl is very good:
she's really something"
AS for the little girl
Gee, I certainly didn't expect
to win, especially after those serves.
Weren't they terrible?"
Thirty minutes after her victory
she and Miss Germaine were in
another court, practicing. 'T Just
wanted to find out how she beat me-
said the New Yorker, and I also told
her a weakness she has; I think I
helped her and if I did, she'll win

As weather conditions cleared somewhat this morning it seemed almost possible that the second in- auguration of the Gastineau Chan nel Baseball League will take place at the Firemen's Ball Park tnn'ont as the visiting Douglas Islanders meet the Elks for a seyen-inning fray.
 Last game was played in Doug las 10 days ago when the Island nine walloped the Elks 4 to in the first whitewash of the season. Since that date three scheduled games have been rained out, and yet possibility remains that to- nights game might meet the same fate.
 First ball will be pitched at 6:30 o'clock.

After a lull in the sport of game fishing. comes in a series of reports to show that there are still few fish in the lakes and creeks of Southeast Alaska.
 Taking a short hop over into Lake Hasselborg in Rinehart's plane, Lawrence Mallack, Vern Hoke and Jimmy Rinehart brought back 40 nice trout. They fished the lower end at the outlet and also the creek draining the laKe. Fishing was good they said, with the fish hungry and willing to take eggs and salmon meat.
 More reports come in from catchers of Colorado Brook in Sal mon Creek Dam as Bobby Pas quan and brother, Jackie, brought back a small catch of seven. They caught three in the reservoir itself ana lOuT III thC ClCCh. NiCC Pai of the trout at the dam is that they have all been planted, all run of a size. Few are smaller than IA inches.
 Runs of Dolly's in both McGinnls and Montana Creeks are expected within the next few days. The fighting trout are still firm, full of vigor and lash, fresh out of the salt water and fine for the table Even now the little pools up high on McGinnis, the pools below logs or rapids, usually yield fair catch es. As yet, the Dolly's are fairly small.

How To Shoot Moose In Six
 Easy Lessons
.BYA..Moose Hunter

A great deal has been written, and a great deal more probably will be. about that energetic sport com monly known as moose hunting. Your reporter has been perusing it for years. We have read volumes on the subject of how to hunt a moose, slay the beast and bring back the horns. even if you have to hire a couple of horses, men and a boy to drag out the meat. Equipped with this information your reporter last week decided to put it to the test.
 The test has been made. There fore, with greatest respect, but with utter disregard. for those ex- perts from the Maine woods to the Alaska Kenai, we have compiled a brief thesis on How to Shoot Moose, In Six Easy Lessons, which probably every moose hunter will bel glad to do without. So. with a blast of the moose call. let's plunge into our subject.
 Lesson No. 1. Chisel yourself into a trip aboard such a vessel as the good ship "Jebilo" with such an able stikine river navigator and moose hunter as Captain Loyal Binkley and his stalwart mates, Carl Bradley and Elvin Lindsey. Then spend a couple of days doing virtually nothing around your place of business or employment except building air castles of just how you. are going to track the wary animal to his native haunts, fell him with one well-aimed shot, toss the car cass over your shoulder and jauntily saunter back to the beach. It is also important to have some moose-hunt- ing experts prepare a map showing exactly the spot where the moose may be found. This is yitally inn portant, because having obtained it, you should immediately disregard itI for the moose are never where the map indicates. Thus prepared you are ready to take off for the great Stikine moose-hunting grounds, and at this point it is an excellent idea to do so, or you may gather a lot of other valuable information which

Stock Prices Low

Although many stocks are to-
day selling at /abnormally few
times their current earnings,
buying is restrained by tax GER
tainties and uncertainties. Levies
already have been heavily in
creased, are bound to be in
creased further. but by how
much no mortal can foretell.
Even so. as greatly improved
financial statements are issued.
il would seem logical that more
purchasers will be tempted into
the market. especially as the
yields on gilt-edged bonds have
become most unattracuve - to
say nothing of the fact that in
terest rates paid on savings de-
posts have been more than
halvcd.
OF course. all calculations
could be violently upset were
the United States to 60 TO war,
or were Hitler to succeed in
overrunning and Subjugating the
United Kingdom. That dread
prospect apparently is steadily
becoming moro remote.
