Mr. Ellingwood has put the playing sur- faces at Walnut Hill park and the | other parks about the city in bettoer | condition than ev before but he has been experiencing great difi- | culty in keeping them that way. Games played on the diamonds, | especially after a rain, have made | varied sized holes in the infield from | heel marks and spike pits. These | have been the source of the troubles of the park superintendent. { B | “Red.” in speaking of the old| days when the Independents had their diamond in Andrew’s lof, sug- | gested that Mr. Ellingwood do as the old-timers used to.

Some whose experience in playing baseball does not date back very far, are prone to “crab” at various times but they have only to remember that with the limited resources at his command.

Woced of Houston, Tex., a study of the ciddies in Houston says they “gamble on players, stamp balls into the ground to retrieve them later, use profanity and tobac- co, gamble with caddy masters, lie to obtain money, horrow mcavy from players and are slovenly and discourteous.” Similar reports have been received from other parts of the country, tid ', C. Rohinson, secretary for empl d boys of the national coun- cil.
