By BOB LAMBERT During the past week the celebration of Independence Day afforded many persons a chance for sports and recreation. Many picnics and hayrides in addition to the regular - rec-. reatidhal activities were, enjoyed by young and old. Last Friday, July 1, Miss Georgia Nance supervised a hayride for the young people. The. ride left the clubhouse on Governor Street -at 6:00 p. m'., for Mesker Park. After an enjoyable evening was spent and a delightful luncheon ■ was spread they returned at 11:00 p. m. The clubhouse, located at 654 S. Governor Street, is a very popular meeting place for young ladies and matrons. Miss Nance has an open house. at all hours during the day. The very warm weather during the past week caused a slight slump in the number of persons taking part in- strenuous play. But “checkers”: came into their own as the results. Officer, Thompkins is such an expert at this game that most" of the players are of the - opinion' that he should be seeded up- to the last round in the tournament, to be run off this week-end. There are several very good checker players in this- city. The" tournament will classify them in their order, which will be in progress Thursday and Friday. The feature for the week was the softball games played on the Lincoln Field July 3. The Haleys’ All-Stars of Louisville, Ky., played a double-header. The WPA Bees won the first game 8-4 and the Johriican AllStars won the second 9-4. Games scheduled for' this Sunday, July 10, are: Daveys’ Lunch vs. W\P A Bees at 3:00 p. m., and Sunbeam vs. Johnican All-Stars at 4:00 p. m. Wheel toys are to be featured for the coming week on the playgrounds.' The boys fire urged to make scooters or • skatmobiles at their homes and enter the races to be held Friday, July. 15. Mulberry street will be blocked off from Governor through Elliott to Lincoln High School driveway, for this event. Bicycle races and roller-skating will run over this course: Every one with skates or a bicycle is asked to register with Mr. Clifton -Fields or Mr: Robert Lambert. Ribbons will, be awarded to winners. This is Safety Week on all city playgrounds. Motorists, wheel riders, skaters, pedestrians and everyone begin this week to observe all rules of safety. The L H. S. Tennis Club will hold a tournament in the near future. Any high school student is eligible for this contest. There will be, boys’ and girls’ singles, boys’ and girls’ doubles and mixed doubles. Those wishing to enter give your name to Mr. Edward Adams or Miss Gertie Gracey. Hundreds of softball fans attend the games played daily on the Lincoln community playground.

CHICAGO—Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, who’d just as soon : tend to his prize winning saddle horses like a country squire, will defend his title in September if! Promoter Mike Jacobs nisists, his, manager stated. Joe announced early today would refuse to fight Max Baer “or anyone else” until 1939, but later said the final decision was up to Jacobs, whose rise in the fight promotional field went hand' in hand with toe bomber's sensational career. Ready Any Time “We’re going to meet again witjj Jacobs on July 10,” said the cha| pion’s co-manager, John R«f borough. “He seemed willing have Joe pass up the scheduU September bout when we first tai ed about it, but Joe’ll fight if Mill really wants Him to." Trie original “retirement” ai? nouncement, issued through Cl Manager Julian Black, said Lou needed a rest and would not worl in the ring again until next yean “We both figured Joe was dud for a rest,” Roxborough said. “Thd decision not to fight until nex year had nothing to do with th2 fact that Max Baer was picked as( the logical opponent. “We had several good offers to] fight Baer. It would be worth while —especially one offer from San I Francisco—but if Jacobs is willing we’d rather have Louis rest.” Since-Louis knocked out James I J. Braddock at Comisky park June 22 1937, he has defended his title four times. The first three—againstj Tommy Farr, Nathan Mann anj Harry Thomas—were considerel little more than tune-ups for his iiistoric second meeting with thd man who knocked him kicking —5 Max Schmeling. Now, the bomber literally ha fought his way through the las| formidable contender. There is one left to fight unless he star! repeating with Baer, subdued four rounds, as trie first of til “second round” candidates. The European trip was called off indefinitely because Loum wants to supervise building of r new home for his mother, Mrs Lily Brooks, of Detroit. He leif Chicago Friday to help her pick il lot for its construction, and afte| remaining in the Motor City fcT a time, was to go to Black’s sur mer home at Stevensville, Michg After a vacation at Stevens') Lotos intends to go to New) to attend the lightweight figriD tween Champion Lou Ambers Henry Armstrong at the Pol Grounds on Aug. 10.
