—Playfround News— JACKBALL IS INTRODUCED AT CITY PLAYLOTS New Sport Proves Popular With Youngsters; Title Meet Planned. BY WILLIAM H. M GAIGHEY Time, stall Writer Champions of one kind or another will be sprouting from every bush —or, in this case—from every playground—if the ingenuity of the recreation department members continues to* rim rampant in selecting new contests for the children. The next city championship looming upon the playground horizon appears to be the jaekball championship. The first round of the tournament 10 choose the best jaekball player in the city will be held on the Kansas and Meridian playground Wednesday afternoon. Some of the difficulties in getting both boys and girls to engage in the same games was explained by Miss Alma Teifert, playground supervisor. Adults Like Game The caustic cry of “sissy” rang rut over the playgrounds when Miss Teifert first suggested to a group of boys that they play jaekball. It took the energetic supervisor some time to explain that jaekball was not a “sissy's game” as some of the calloused lads believed. When she pointed out that in some large cities adults participate in jacKball matches, the youths pronounced an official o. k. and entered into the contests with much .Vigor and enthusiasm. Evidence of the success of the game is shown in the attitude of a shawl-draped woman in the Kansas playground district. Full of appreciation for what the supervisors arc doing, she sought out SCiss Teifert. “I want to thank you for thinking up something to keep my boy busy,” she said in a weary voice. “This jaekball game has caught his interest so much that he doesn't have time to get into mischief.” Softball Game Thriller Several hundred fans were thrilled last Friday afternon when Greer. 1 the 1333 championship team, suffered a 15-9 defeat at the hands of I the fast-stepping Riley club in the i Softball league. To start the fan-fare off. City Clerk Henry O. Goeft, a diamond star at Butler university a few , years ago, wound up like a caterpil- j lar's curl and let a fast ball fly toward the mitt of Sergeant Tim Me- | Mahon. Because of his experience [ es safety director, the sergeant I thought it advisable to catch it. thus | preventing any casualties for the day. When the two teams lined up. the i crowd mi tense. After a brilliant 1 season last year. Grper started the play this year w ith a loss of most of the members of their championship team. And reports credited Riley J with having a lively bunch of boys this season. Opens With Three Runs Riley started firing away with a ' barrage of hits in the first inning to score three runs. The game looked pretty dark for Greer until N their heavy hitters took charge in the fifth to put over nine runs before the side was retired. In the sixth inning, Greer's pitcher, Pete Besisic, lost control of his in-shoots and Riley scored seven runs before the pitcher foi*id him- > self. Meanwhile. Charlie Mahoney.! the Riley hurler. kept everything j under control and the Greer boys fanned frequently and scored no runs. To top off the game. Riley tallied five more runs in the last frame. Far from daunted at their initial defeat, the fighting gang from Greer claims that after their green team starts functioning they will be in there fighting for the championship again.
