| More and More Are Sharmg’ Facilities With Kids, | Says Tennyson. | I frolicsome citizenry in United States, judging from reports emanating from its DPpart-{ ment of Playgrounds. It Is estimated that the average daily attendance on District playgrounds during the months of July and August | varied between 25 and 30 thousand. These figures show an increase of ap- proximately 10 per cent over last year and indicate that it's tru> whal they gay about Americans becoming more and more exercise conscious. According to Richard S. Tennyson, assistant supervisor of playgrounds, there are two principal reasons for this rising popularity of playgrounds. of all, there has been a steady im- provement in facilities, in regard to | both quality and quantity and secondly because every year a greater number | of city slickers are realizing thai they can step down to the corner and join the kids in some pretty valuable and much needed exercise. In fact, probably the most | Adults Didn't Play. JT SEEMS that 25 years ago when the playground movement Wwas new comparatively few adults knew any- thing about playground sports and that was true largely because they didn't have the opportunities to learn the various games that were being af- forded their children. The point is that the youngsters did learn them and gince have grown to appreciate play- | ground activities to such an extent that an increasing number are taking | part each year. Strangely enough, when the Garfield Playground staged & | homecoming day in August, several hundred old-timers turned up who had romped in the same dirt 20 vears be- fore and we find that those who played then still are playing Speaking of facilities, during the fast Summer there were 93 pla grounds operating in Washington’s metropolitan area. Of these, 37 were municipal grounds open the year ‘round, the other 56 adioined schools and were in use only during the vaca- tion period. The District government | emplovs approximately 300 people to man these grounds although that num- ber dwindles to around 100 in the Winter. I Archery Second to Soft Ball. UNQUEST’IONABLY. the sport that took the greatest boost in popu- larity this year was soft ball. An- other one of those games in which | most any one can take part, soft ball has a carry-over value like tennis and golf. That is to say, more of the old folks can take an active hand. Some of the year's best soft | ballers were anything but Spring chickens. Archery ranked next to soft ball | in appeal. The Department of Play- | grounds eonducted 11 ranges at| various strategic points in the city. | Each range conducted elimination | matches and so many participated | that more than 200 went to the finals. | Those who have confined their bow twanging to the back yard for fear of being called “thit will be in-| terested to know that archery de- velopes muscle, Not the bulging kind. but those that tend toward poise and grace., Furthermore, Cupid's pastime ! has more to it than & bow and arrow. | There are more than a thousand | terms connected with this “esthetic” | indulgence. For example, any one who has heard of a “toxophilite” and has been under the impression that it was a species of dope addict will be surprised to find that it's simply one who goes for archery. A “lady paramount” is the feminine super- visor in charge of any women’s divi- sion or tournament and an “oriental loose” jis not a drunken Chinaman, but & manner of releasing the arrow. Horseshoe Game Spurts, INCE the first Evening Star horse- | shoe tournament in 1929 the number of barnyard golfers has grown in leaps and bounds. That was the one sport that playground goers in- dulged in from dawn 'til dark every day it wasn't raining.

In proportion to population, Wash- | ington equals any and is superior to| most other large cities in so far as its playground program is concerned, In fact, several large cities have pat- terned their recreational set-ups after the local system. But from the stand- point of facilities, the Nation's Capi- tal is sadly lacking.

ILLY SHEA, the raw-boned, tall youngster from Congres- sional Country Club, is the top golfer of Washington for 1937. Victor in two of the three major championships held in the Washing- ton-Matyland sector of this hot golf- ing territory, the Shea boy holds clear possession of first place, a rating that hasn't been altogether undisputed since George Voigt made a clean-up of all the tities hereabouts in 1926. Any man who watched the Shea boy win the Middle Atlantic title with five under-par rounds over his home course at Congressional and watched his progress through the District amateur title tourney at Co- lumbia to win on the last hole from a fighting Martin F. McCarthy, must admit that the top spot in any local ranking of amateur golfers belongs to Willlam L. Shea, jr, of Washington, D. C., and the Congressional Coun- try Club. The only title Billy missed was the Maryland championship, and no one could have licked Volney Burnett in that one—so hot was the golfing fire- man. Ranking Five Golfers. } ERE are the rankings of the first five amateur linksmen around ‘Washington for this year: No. 1—Billy Shea, holder of the Middle Atlantic and Dis- trict amateur championships. No. 2—Levi Yoder, Kenwood, win- ner of the Chevy Chase and Wood- mont invitation tourneys. No. 3—Volney Burnett, winner of the Maryland State title and the Fed- | eral League tourney. No. 4—Martin F. McCarthy, Colum- bia and Beaver Dam, runner-up !or“ the District championship and a con- sistently good golfer. No. 5—Everett Johnsan, Beaver Dam, winner of the Manor Country Club tourney. Shea, Yoder and MecCarthy all qualified for the national amateur championship held at Portland, Oreg., in August, but only Shea made the trip. For a freshman golfer, in his first major tourney, the youngster did pretty well, too. He qualified and won a match, and fell in the second round before a 5-under-par perform- ance by Freddie Haas, the intercol- legiate champion. Shea is a sophomore at George- 9 has a bright links future ahead of him. Yoder Bows in Two Big Meets. HIAD Levi Yoder won either the | mid-Atlantic or the District | championships he would have grabbed the top spot. But Levi fell in the | first round of the ,mid-Atlantic and was licked in the second round of the | District title tourney, after whipping Roger Peacock in the opening round. | Yoder played little golf this year. | Burnett's game was spotty. He set | A sizzling pace in the Maryland tour- ney after a 69—70 to win the Federal League affair at Indian Spring, and then failed to qualify in either the | mid-Atlantic or the District title tour- | naments. Nevertheless Burnett is one of the strongest golfers in this sec- tor. When he's right, he’s unbeatable. McCarthy, always & consistent per- former, didn't play in all the tourna- but his performance in the District championship was a stand- out. He came very close to winning | the title, after being victorious in three straight extra-hole matches. Johnson was a surprise winner at Manor, where he licked Russ Holle- baugh in a 21-hole final. But John- son’s game is no surprise to his golfing buddies at Beaver Dam. The former sandlot base ball star is a good golfer and can win more tournaments. ——— HORSE SHOW TITLE IS WON BY CLAWS Hughes' Black Caddy Is Second | to Randle Entry in Muddy Chevy Chase Event.
