Bryce Thomas, supervisor of the city swimming pool, asks that swimmers refrain ftoin splashing water on the spectators who sit along the sides of the pool, and to refrain from sitting or standing on the benches just after they come out of the water. The benches are for the spectators and parents! who bring their children to the pool. Seveial swimmers have been running through the mud and dirt at the south end of the pool and then jumping or diving into the water, thereby carrying much dirt into the pool. Swimmers are kindly asked to refrain from that practice, also/ Bob Wemhoff, Decatur's ardent fol-1 lowers of the Detroit Tigers, must have got a big kick opt of the Tigers' 'wo victories over the haughty New York Yankees yesterday. Since Detroit tumbled into the cellar several days ago, Bi ll has been getting a lot of raspberries of tlie non-edible variety. Three Decatur Boy Scouts passed the life saving test at the city swimming pool yesterday. They are Bali Hite James Burk and Harold Melchi. > VV. A. Kunkle, Jr., broke the record for the Bluffton Country Club golf course, Tuesday, when he shot the 18 holes in 72.
