JULY 19, 1933

ANNUAL TRACK MEET WILL BE HELD AUG 11 Same Rules Will Apply to Playground Event as in 1932. The annual track meet for city playgrounds will be held at Willard park Aug. 11, Cliff Courtney, In charge of track athletics at the recreation centers, announced today. The same rules will apply this year which applied In 1932, Courtney announced, with a few minor changp.s. H. W. Mlddlesworth, recreation director, said that the success of former meet.s has been due largely So Courtney's efforts. “We have found the track meet very successful in arousing enthusiasm among the boys," said Courtney. “The meets held at the various playgrounds are chock-full of rivalry in anticipation of the llnals. Lowered Track Records “The same policy followed in 1932 of Riving a ribbon to the boy scoring 2 the most points at each playground and declaring him champion of his own recreation center will be followed again this year. A ribbon also is awarded to the boy scoring the next highest total of points who is given the title ‘runner up.’ “It is surprising the way track record* have tagen lowered in the last few years. We now have boys who run the dashes in creditable college m- high school time and every year the youngsters seem to be getting speedier." “Many of the boys who participate in tiie local playground track meets are football players in their high schools, and for that reason we always try to hold the meet as early in August as possible. Age Limit Announced "Although only two should qualify from each section, it is possible that we may select the first three this year. The third man to be instructed to come to the meet prepared to run if one of the other two should be unable to attend or be declared ineligible.” “The age limit will be the same as for the baseball games. Juniors must be at least one month under 14 years and seniors one month under 17. Any junior boy who becomes 14 after July 1 would be eligible and any senior boy who becomes 17 after the same date could also compete." Courtney announced that no track shoes will be allowed to be worn by any of the competitors. Sprinter Is Developed The tentative schedule of events is as follows: For Juniors—so-yard dash; 100yard dash; high jump; broad jump and 220-yard relay. For Seniors—Shotput; 50-yard dash; 100-yard dash; 220-yard dash; broad jump and 440-yard relay race. "Last year we developed an unusual sprinter, Sanford Bennet, at Willard," said Courtney. "He ran the 100-yard dash in 11.2; the 220 in 27 seconds flat; the fifty in 6 seconds flat and also won the shot put. I don’t know what happened to him. But he never came to collect his medals which are still in the office at city hall." TWO CHURCH GROUPS WILL HOLD PICNIC Girls’ Federation and C. M. B. to Visit Northern Beach. Swimming, tennis, baseball and other games will be played by the Girl's Federation and Christian Men’ Builders classes of the Third Christian church at Northern Beach, Saturday afternoon.

When the ball was pitched he lunged for it. and went down in a heap, spraining a leg that had been previously injured in a football game.

CHILDREN STAR IN HANDCRAFT Older Groups at Playlots Make Checker Boards for Contests. Much imagination and ingenuity of design is being shown by playground pupils in the handcraft and pageantry Jack o’ Lantern contest, according to Mrs. Norma Koster, instructor. Tiie older groups at the playgrounds are working on checker boards. Tiie board, 12 by 12 inches, is made into alternate squares of red and black, or black and white measuring one and a half inches a square. This makes a board with eight squares each way.

Directing Pageants Just Knack, Says City Woman

Two Elaborate Fetes for Playground Children Being Planned. To the thousands who watched the intricate patriotic drill of more than 500 children at Butler bowl in the July 4 celebration, marching in difficult geometric patterns there was every indication that the children had been trained for a long time. But Mrs. Norma Koster in charge of the pageantry work of the city playgrounds will tell you that she never even saw most of the children until the night of the pageant. How- then did she maneuver them so perfectly across the big field to form such an imposing design as the American flag? Mrs. Koster will tell you that it is just a knack, and the result of more than nine years of work in various pageants held in .Indianapolis. „ Plans Two Elaborate Fetes Tall and blond, she stands among a group of 1.000 school children assembled before the critical eyes of many more thousands of spectators at a pageant, qnd dressed in a red cross uniform directs, them in forming designs which would defy the skill of Euclid. And now r with the playground season drawing to a close, Mrs. Koster is preparing to put on two of the most elaborate pageants ever staged in this city. For Negro children of the playgrounds she will direct a pageant of “Alice in Wonderland" on Aug. 11 at Douglas park. Three hundred children will take part in this extravaganza of Carroll's book. In a number of elaborate sets they will depict the advenr.ires of Alice in the land of make believe. Trains Negro Children The Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, the Red Duchess, the White Duchess and kings, queens and jacks will be there. The first scene will show' Alice and other children at a lawn party just before she steps on her wonderful journey through the looking glass. The second scene called “Creatures of the Night" will disclose hundreds of Negro children dressed as moonbeams, fairies, fireflys and other nocturnal adventurers. "I have had a lot of fun teaching about one hundred of them to dress and crow* like roosters to announce the break of dawn." Mrs. Kost°r says. Patriotic Event la Planned For the white children Mrs. Koster announces that she has arranged a patriotic pageant to be staged Aug. 18 at Brookside park. More than 1,000 children will take part. The same costumes which were used so effectively in the July 4 celebration will be brought into use

DIAMOND STARS DEVELOPED ON CITYPLAYLOTS Riley Team Seen as Real Threat for Top Honors by Bob Nipper. Bob Nipper, in charge of baseball for the city recreation department is bending all his efforts to keying the boys’ teams of the various parks up to championship caliber for the semi-finals to be played in August. His work has met with splendid results and many close contests already have been played as the teams go into the home strefch in the race for the city playground championship. Today he told of one game which, in his opinion, is indicative of the sort of baseball being played by the youngsters at the playgrounds. Riley Trims Rhodius "One of the best games I ever saw in my life was played at Riley last Wednesday,” said Nipper, “when Riley and Rhodius met. "The final score of 12 to 0 in favor of Riley does not indicate the kind of baseball that really was played. The game was packed with thrills. "The big surprise to me was that Riley looked so good. Frankly, the teams at Riley in the last few years have left much to he desired, but they certainly staged a comeback this season and certainly look like championship stuff now. "A good deal of the marked improvement in the Riley team is directly due to the work of Jack Orr, the new instructor there, who has put in lots of extra effort to develop some good ball players. Turns Out Star Pitcher “He certainly did a good job with a lad named Halton Mehaney, a pitcher, who hurled a swell game in the contest with Rhodius. Mehaney allowed only three hits for the entire afternoon. "Rhodius always has been pretty good.” said Nipper, "and for the last two or three years they have been well up in the standing of the teams. They looked good the other day, but simply couldn't hit Mehaney.’’ Nipper has announced twentyfour games to be played at various parks on the afternoons of Monday, July 24 and Wednesday, July 2(5. FOUR LEAGUES IN BALL PLAY Finals to Be Staged Between Winners of Each Division. Finals in the boys’ baseball league of the city playgrounds will be played by teams selected from four sections of the city, Bob Nipper, : announced today, j The playgrounds have been divid- | ed into leagues depending on their ! geographical location in the city.

SELF-GOVERNMENT BY CHILDREN IS SUCCESS

W '

Instructors at city playgrounds report that children are doing an excellent job at self-government. The plan was instituted by the recreation department when it was found that a depleted budget forced a cut in the number of instructors at the playgrounds.

Second row: Sarah Day. Emma Clark, Bqtty Cole and Doris Mullen. Third row: Hugh Meed and Deed Carroll. So successful was the experiment with the children as "bosses" at the playgrounds that H. W. Middleswort-h. department director, has announced that the self-governing board henceforth will be permanent.

LIKE TO RULE SELVES | Government by Children Is Success at Playgrounds. Cliff Courtney, city athletic inJ structor, said that the children at ■ the playgrounds are taking to the I self-government plan like "ducks to water." The children clean up the parks, removing waste paper and other j rubbish before 9 in the morning. I Then they help the regularly as- * j signed instructors to keep order j during the day. ‘ We have had practically no trou- | ble," Courtney declared, “beyond a tendency on the part of some of the I youngsters to be a trifle 'bossy', j They are soon cured of that.” METROPOLITAN CASUALTY^INSURANCE CO.
