grounds. In some of the small parks
the space is given up entirely to such
sports as putting the shot. throwing
the hammer, racing, and jumping.
Baseball and tennis facilities are Of
fered In nearly every playground or
field in Boston.
The beauty about BostOn's play
grounds is that they are so numerous
as TO be in reach of all the people all
the time. They are made useful in
summer and winter, never being allowed
TO lie neglected through the winter be-
cause OF the cold weather.
System Needed.
In some of the grounds different
kinds Of shelters have been erected In
one place you will find a pavilion. in
ano her a regularly constructed gym
nasium. in still another sheds. In nearly
ali there are sanitary accommodations.
Such a system is what Washington
needs. one that will be extensive and
complete in every sense Of the word,
large. roomy spaces where all games
and all sports can be INDUCED in. What
We want is concerted attempts on the
part OF the District citizens and authori-
ties TO get for the city Of Washington
the best system OF public Fairgrounds
In the world. We are all beginning to
realize the Importance OF the project
and we should all work for IT."

SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
GROUNDS NEEDED

Are Now Necessary.

ers in Charge.
WHAT A WORKER BELIEVES

Now that the people are gradually
awakening TO the fact that Washington
needs. and should make a determined ef-
fort for a system of public Fairgrounds
and parks for the outdoor recreation of
all classes said a prominent charity
worker of this city today. ut behooyes
those interested IN the matter to get
together and form plans as to the things
needed for such Improvements.
There IS. 1 think, little doubt that
Congress will make the appropriations
necessary for the project sooner or lat
er. and there Is also 1 believe every
Indication that the appropriations will
begin with the next session OF Con-
gresS-
In Other Cities.
There t. no better way 90 find out
what We want than bv consulting the
experience and successes Of ether cities
in the same line In this way. we viii
save ourselves frcm many hopeless
plumbers. Take Boston. for instance.
The authorities there have accom-
plished wonders with the outdoor scheme
and would want no more here than d
modern model Of what Boston mas done
with the project.
The Boston parks, fields. and play
grounds range in size from four-tenths
OF an acre TO seventY-seven acres. Ac-
cording to their size, they are pro-
vlded with baseball grounds. bowling
alleys. gymnaSiums, racing tracks FOR
the boys, and every athletic field sport
imaginable. On Franklin Field, one of
the largest parks. an area OF forty
acres is devoted exclusively to ball
games, and some evenings there are ten
or twelve games in progress there at the
same time
Teachers Employed.
In addition to the ball field. there
are tennis courts and cricket fields.
Here, as in many OF the other parks. a
large level area Is flooded in winter for
the use of skaters. These imprOvised
skating ponds offer the finest sheets of
ice for the skaters in easy reach of
everybody, and the great recommended
tion for them is that the water is not
deep enough under the ice to present
the danger of accidents by drowning.
Fairgrounds Numerous.

Trouble With Murphy.

His active participation In the con-
tests that are being waged for the con-
troll Of districts IS regarded as another
sign Of a desire to make himself abso-
lutte. Each leader feels that his turn
may come next II he is unfortunate
enough to offend Mr.. Murphy.
While there IS little real expectation
that Mr.. Croker will seek 70 regain the
power In Tammany that he aOdicated,
his return 10 this country has been
sufficient to set Tammany in a flutter.
There IS a feeling that almost any
thing may hapen.

Elements Antagonistic.

There Is no concealment, however, Of
the fact that some Of the elements that
combined to make Mr. Murphy leader
are no longer in sympathy with him
The most powerful factor in his eIeva-
ton was Timothy l.. Sullivan. To all
intents MIR. Murphy has made Mr.. Sulli-
van a nOnentity IN the manaL cment of
the organization.
He has not thought II necessary to re-
veal 10 him his plans and ne paid so
little atten ton to his advice that Mr..
Sullivan soon ceased TO offer it The
Sullivans are frankly opposed TO the
course Of the city administration under
Mr.. Murphy.
There Is also a general feeling OF un-
easiness in the organization over the
disregard Of Tammany traditions that
Mr.. Murphy has displayed since he as
sumed the leadership. By a change in
the rules of the organization, that was
aimed at Devery in the Ninth district

district leader and set up another leader

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Aug. 22.-
Upon hearing of a report that a mob
was being organized in Victor for the
fpurpose of marching to Hollywood and
lynching four men who We're reported
to be there, Sheriff Bell. with five dep
uties. went TO Victor, where he found a
large crowd in the streets.
The sheriff left two deputies in Vic.
tor, and with the others started for
Hollywood, where they found Robert
Murphy. two brothers named Grant,
and man named Nichols. The three
latter declared they We're British
subjects.
Sheriff Bell says the men We're heav-
lily armed and their house was stocked
with ammunition. The men, accord
ing to Sheriff Bell, said they had come
here to fight and would fight. After
much persuasion, the sheriff induced
them to leave the district, and left
deputies to protect them until the eve
ming train left for Canon City. The
men were allowed to take their guns
and ammunition with them.
No secret is made here of the fact
that the deportation of Attorneys Eu-
