Willard Is Far Ahead as Most Popular Play Lot

Falls Behind Douglas, However, for Last Week; Shown by Figures. For the first week since the play season opened, Willard playground last week was not the leading playground in numbers of children playing. Douglas, a Negro playlot, with 8.525 in attendance, was higher than the East Washington street play center. Willard had 6.715. Brightwood, which ranked third, had 6,646. Willard, however, far outstrips all others in numbers for the whole season. At Willard, 84,265 have played, as against 29,328 at Douglas, and 53,294 at Brightwood. Attendance at Willard was considerably short of the park's weekly average of 9,385. Total attendance for all playgrounds last week was 79.197, an increase of more than 23.000 over the previous week when only 56,104 children attended the play centers. Last week’s attendance brings the season's total to 656,877, and the season's average to 72.986 children a week. Boys continued to lead the girls in numbers at play on the play lots. Last week’s count showed 43,810 boys and only 35,387 girls.

This Lad Likely Will Be Champ Golf ‘Duffer’ A boy with a philosophy that some day may make him an ideal golf duffer was found Monday at Brookside park playground. The divot-digger who declared he liked shooting in the 120s because he got more practice in perfecting his swing in a round of golf than did his friend who shot 90, had nothing on this lad. He and a group of friends were amusing themselves going “hand over hand” along the playground's horizantal ladder. A!l the other boys could travel the length of the ladder, grabbing only every second rung. The one boy could cover the distance, only one rung at a time As his mates began to chide him about his weakness, he replied: “Yeah, but I’ll develop more muscle in my arms this way. I grab more times.” His mates were convinced. They traveled one rung at a time thereafter.
