Bathers Carry Oi Hot Springs has been taken over for operation the balance of the season by a group of civic leaders of the Spa.

Judge Sam Garratt told the league he believed under operation of the group ol home town folk the Bathers would draw better. Herbert Anderton of Memphis, operator the Hot Springs club, said he was unable to carry on. Clarksdale citizens a few weeks ago took on the operation of the Planters franchise in the Haraway circuit when the Clarksdale Baseball Association took over the club from George Stein. If Clarksdale decides to retain its franchise then the league wil go ahead with its schedule. If the Planters should drop out, which doesn't seem likely, then the league would face the possibility of operating as a seven club the, balance of.

It was Sollie Cohen, former Ole Miss football star. Sollie now lives in Lake Providence where he has been for the last 13 years. Prior to that time he lived at Delta City, near Rolling Fork, and at Benoit. It was back in 1922 and 1923 that Sollie played football at Rolling Fork High when Walter, E. Stokes of Greenville, was coach of the Bearcats.

Sollie was the terror of Delta lines. He carried his football ability on to Ole Miss where was a star of the first rank as Rebels fullback and line charger de-luxe. "You know," the grey-haired husky put in, "I haven't been back to Ole Miss for the State game except about three years." Livingston was second in the free for all.

A. J. Carpenter of Little Rock, president of the Arkansas Power Boat Association, sponsors of the regatta, was in general charge. Sam Forte of Lake Village was motor inspector. Rock was the official starter and referee.

Buehler entered most of the nine-race event and placed in seven of the contests. Buehler raced as a representative of the Lake Village boat club. Dick McGill, Harry Hastings Jimmy Bowman, all of Little Rock were the judges. Mrs. C.

He recalled that Cohen was all crippled and it was not believed he would play. "You took a terrible beating on the gridiron that day," Peskiri told him. "Yeah I remember that day. I didn't go to Memphis with the footba.ll squad," Sollie said. "Instead I went the following morning and was taped up from my shoulders to my knees.

There was very little I could do about that beating." But when he was in good shape Cohen was just as strong against college teams as against high schools.
