relates, he played tennis in the

Consequently he was in such ex-

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Freeman re-
ported TO the Minneapolis NAACP
that shumway stepped out OF a
parked squad car. took two or
three running steps towards Mr..
Burrell, struck him three times,
knocking him TO the ground.
When Burrell got to his feet he
asked the officer what 1t was all
about. shumway told the men he
could take them In for disturbing
the peace. Mcintosh suggested
that they be taken down to police
headquarters, but Shumway re-
fused to arrest the men after Nc
Intosh told him that he was go
ing to report his unwarranted as
sault upon Burrell to his super
Ior officers. The officer got in
the squad car and drove away.

6-1. Tuesday in the second round
Johnson drew special notice from
other players as well as spectators
as he trounced John Powless, of
Flora, H., rs, 6-2, 6-2. This vic
tory posed Johnson as a definite
threat to other first and second
round winners. The 6-foot-four
Powless had loomed as a staunch
contender when he defeated fifth
seeded Kenny BoyIm, Minneapo-
lis, on the first day of the tourna-
ment.
Fastest Player In Tournament
Johnson is probably conceded to
be the fastest player in the tour
nament. He brought the awes and
applause of spectators repeatedly
as he returned numerous difficult
shots. But the fast little player is
more than a retriever. Ever re-
lentless, his accurate returns and
marvellous net game are constant
sources of devastation to the NOR
ale of his opponent.
May Be Surprise of Meet
Being in addition what tennis
fans call heady player, one who
resigns TO out-think as well as
out-play his foe, johnson may
very well prove to be the surprise
player of the tournament. After
winning over Powless, johnson
teamed up with Ward Parker of
