| Description: | Sports: Sportsman's Show. Chicago outdoors fans see a veritable circus of sport, with events ranging from death-defying daredevil stunts to superb field dogs showing their skills. Cheesecake - woman at exhibition is fishing in indoor pond, wearing a leotard (?) and fishnet stockings; she pulls a fish out - it's wriggling around still alive! Retriever-type dog plunges into a pool of water to fetch a "duck". A middle-aged man paddles a canoe for four lovely young women. At the edge of the pool, the canoe tips over and the ladies all fall in with a splash - the man has left the boat by then. Wacky stunt - someone on skis (water skis?) slides down a long slide, does a flip, slides on a ramp and goes into a pool of water - not as graceful as one might hope, but interesting. A man dives from a very tall ladder into a rather shallow pool of water. | |
