I’ve never been in an airplane before. I would like to take an airplane ride.” "What's that?” demanded the startled attendant. "You are not Colonel Lindbergh?" "No, not even any kin to him," the stranger replied. Thus it happened that this city's “Lindy” Charles T. Lindbergh was taken aloft by Pilot Harold C. Brooks.

Golf Tennis Sport Fever Baseball Swimming The water carnival at the city 1 swimming pool last night furnished some fine entertainment for a large ' crowd of spectators. Three years ago, ; before the city swimming, pool in ' Rugg park was a reality, it would have been impossible to find enough youthful around) Decatur io flag a hand car, yet last night the big pool was almost crowded with youngsters taking part in the various events. And we mean to say that those boys and girls can swim and dive. too. Swimming is wonderful exert Ise and a clean and whole some sport. Every child should be taught to swim, for no one knows i when be is going to be dumped into water too deep to wade. The city i fathers made a mighty good invest-i ment when they built that pool. , Frankfort. Ind., dedicated a new i $65,000 municipal swimming pool and ) bath house yesterday. It is located ; in the T.P.A. park. The pool is said ! to be one of the largest pools in the j state. Peru has built a city swimming pool this summer, also. All of which goes to show that Decatur leads,, while others follow'. — Kendallville's new city park, bath house and band stand, located on the shore of Bixler lake, were dedicated Thursday evening. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony and wit- i nessed a program of acquatic sports, preceding the ceremony. High school football squads will be swinging into training next week. Word comes from Emerson high, of 1 Gary, where the Golden Tornado originates each fall, that the coach will take a large squad of huskies into Wisconsin for pre-season training Sunday. Huntington. Bluffton. Koko mo, Logansport and several other I squads will go to training camps on ' the shores of northern Indiana lakes : next week. Coach Max Kidd, the new grid coach of Decatur high’s Yellow I Jackets, is expected to be here any day no.v and start practice some- ■ time next week.

When Earl Sande boots his final horse down the stretch at the close •of the Saratoga meeting, it probably will be the last time the great little j jockey rides in America. iSurplus flesh is driving Sande into other fields. He is now 29 years old and no longer finds ii easy to stay around 110 pounds. Sande hasn’t gained weight because he loafed, for he is one of the hardest workers on 1 the Anterican tracks. Recently he 1 took to riding an electric horse, similar to the one that President Coolidge formerly used, in an effort to retain his correct riding poundage. With the passing of Sande, Laverne Fator will be left almost supreme on American tracks. For ten years Earl has been bringing good horses and i bad under the wire to get in on the money, and the strain of his long i service has begun to tell. Two courses are open to Sande — i he can go to France where they ride at higher weights or he can get a job as trainer in the United States. Looking For a Job "I always said I would retire when I found that it took too much out of me to keep down to riding weight,” Sande said. .‘Of course, 1 shall keep riding this summer, for it is easy to lake off poundage in the summer time. But when winter comes, I guess I’ll start looking around for something else to do. “What it will lie, I haven-t decided. I love to ride and naturally I would | rather go abroad than stay here as a ] trainer.” It was suggested to Sande that J. 1 E. Widener, his present contract employer, had a large stable in France and that Widener probably would be glad to have Sande ride for him abroad. "That would be fine,” Sande said, "for Mr. Widener lias a wondef-ful place over there, and from what 1 saw of racing in France, I liked it

I / Decatur, Ind. August 11, 1928. Dear Friends: I sometimes wonder how often this telephone in here at the shop rings every day. And come to think about it, every time that telephone rings, somebody has asked for number 134. That is, al- ! most every time. Somebody I got the wrong number the other day and when John answered the phone, they , asked him to send out three pork chops. , But that telephone just j can’t ring too many times , to suit me. I like to hear it, } because I think it helps j I convince the boss that I can i; keep on with this ad writing y I Job. v- And I sure need that! I ■ You’re doing me a persona al favor every time you call ■- 134., Thanks! n BEN ZEEN DECATUR LAUNDRY “The Farr Way” L——

I a lot.” Not since the days of Tod Sloan ! in England has any jockey so endeare<l himself to the racing public as has I Sande. With Earl in the saddle, i racing enthusiasts figured they were i | sure to get their money’s worth no matter where his horse finished. Sande learned to ride on the ranges of Idaho where he was born. On . Sundaj' afternoons he would ride against other bqys and soon got into the habit of winning almost every race he entered. Racing was in his blood and three months later Sande showed up at New Orleans and got a job exercising horses. From then on his rise was rapid. Touched Heights in 1923 He touched the heights in 1923 i when he rode Zev to victory in the Kentucky Derby, the Withers, the Belmont and the Lawrence Realization. That also was the year when Zev, with Sande up, defeated Papv- , rus, ridden by Stevq Donoghue, in

tile international match. Sande and Zev also prezed an unbeatable combination against In Memoriam in a match race. In 1923, Zev won $272.008 in purses and every time he started. Sande was in the saddle. There aren't many horses left for Earl to win. He has ridden the winner of every important race in the country with the exception of the Futurity. Here is hi* record of • victories: Belmont, four times; Ken j tuck}’ Derby, twice: Suburban, twice; and the Metropolitan, three times in succession. The total winnings of his mounts are somewhere in the vicinity of $2,000,000. In 1924 Sande suffered a broken leg at Saratoga and when he came back the next year he rode for Widener instead of the Rancocas Stable. o Big Four Train Kills Stranger At Winchester Winchester, Ind., Aug. IS.ftj.R)— Authorities today attempted to identify a man killed here by a big four passenger train. The man. believed to bo an Italian, appeared to be between 45 and 50 years cf age. A'railroad ticket from Ansonia, Ohio, to Bellfountaine. Ohio, was found on the body.
