Well, out goes 1914 and in comes
1945, and as we gaze over the
calendar for the old year for out
standing features in the sports pa
rade, we find: Local interest has
been high. First came the inva-
sion of these parts by two fine
Negro teams, the Pittsburgh Craw-
fords and the Harlem Globe Trot-
tiers. Second was the winning of
the Sterling clubs golf tournament
crown, Clyde Johnson. Third, the
fine showing of the sepia boys in
the professional fights in both
towns. Fourth, the outstanding
performances in prep football of
such boys as Louis White, Paul
Ray, Frank Brown and Percy lack
airy, all of st. Paul, Earl Bowman,
Glenn Pullens and Freddy Vaughn
of the Mill City. Last but not
least is the interest shown in the
bowling alleys. The boys and gals
have been cracking the naples at
fast clip in most of the alleys
throughout the two towns. Some
of the leading bowlers are: Harvey
Moss, Percy Hughes, Don Brady,
Vincent Owens, George Mundell,
John Williams, Martin Wedding
ton and John Banks.
Yes, dear readers, the year 1914
has seen many athletic achieve
ments. Here's hoping 1945 proves
as well.
Here's hoping and wishing you
the Happiest of Happy New Year.

the way, will fight st. Angelo in

From all outward appearances and
dope it looks like another victory
for Graves.
Talk about Bowls: Well here's a
