Vernon's victory over Sacra-

in fourth place. Los Angeles seems
to be striving desperately to keep

Upon the conclusion OF the addresses
made by the delegation from Johnson
School Secretary West then made a
speech. He assured the boys that the
playground movement couldn't have got
ON ut all without the interest of the
people Of the northwest section, and
deplOred the fact that these boys had
had to play in their back yards, while
other children of the city were enjoy

good things of a playground equipped
for play.
And that is the story Of how It came
about that there Is soon to be a Alt
Pleasant playground.
Last year the Fairgrounds averaged a
daily attendance Of 5000 children. the
total attendance for the year reaching
more than 100000 young ones. Now, this
year, there are even more children who
want to play, and there is even less
