BALL AND BAT
Many of the most popular sports enjoyed today are played with some variation of the ball and bat idea. Even handball comes in this classification, since the arm and hand of the player really constitutes a bat. This interesting sport picture shows selected action from a variety of athletic contests, among which are handball, baseball, cricket, tennis, golf, hurling and polo. Babe Ruth is shown knocking a home run. A slow motion scene shows Vincent Richards playing tennis. Glenna Collett, Walter Hagen and Jess Sweetzer represent the grand old game of golf. Polo is illustrated in both slow motion and regular camera speed, with Deveraux Milburn starring. This picture is obviously intended for lovers of sports and the great outdoors but even a hospital shut-in will enjoy the exciting scenes and instructive explanations.

SWORD FISHING OFF CATALINA ISLAND
Recognized as one of the largest and gamiest of fish, the sword fish is a worthy adversary for any angler. Dressed in sun helmets and outing clothes, a group of fishermen shove off in their motor boat from Catalina Island. The large hook is baited with a fish over a foot long and the sport begins. Blooie ! A monster sword fish strikes and out runs the line. The fisherman is big and husky, but it seems to take all the strength he can muster to move the pole a few inches. There are several remarkable shots showing the swordfish leaping clear out of the water and struggling furiously to escape. Relentlessly the skilled angler draws the
