For Organized Play

The Avondale Park Recreation asso- citation has secured the services of J. A. Key, who, under the direction of the physical department of the Young Mems Christian association, will organize and direct all the athletics and health pas times possible at the Avondale park. Mr. Key is a student at the Birming- ham Medical college and in preference to spending the summer vacation down on the coast willingly prefers to serve boys and young men of Birmingham.
 MT. Key and MT. Cubbon have gone over the plans for the seasons work and not only can boys of the park district expect extra good times but ou many occasions boys in the differ ent parts of the city will partake of the benefit of the organized play which will be in vogue at the Avondale park.
 MT. Keys first work will be to coach the Avondale boys for the big Sunday school athletic meet, which takes place next Saturday, and then the organiza- tion of the Avondale Twilight Baseball league, and a junior league for the boys. Usually the small boy is forgotten and crowded out by the older fellow, not so under the present plans. At certain times the little duffer is going to have right of way as well as his more ex- rert older brother. "A time and place for everybody" would be a fair slogan for the Avondale Recreation as- sociation. The days are going to be chuck" full of good times for all and the tiniest tot can be enjoying himself in the wading pool in his group while other groups are busily engaged else- where.
 It Is hoped that the city will Tn a short time see the advisability of fin- isting the almost completed track and baseball diamond This would help the playground very much, indeed. There are but two places in the city where the boys and young men can indulge in athletics activities.
 The first is East park, the only pub at the Fair grounds, not a public, but private grounds. East park grounds are good as far as they go. but not large enough to hold meets of any size. There Is an urgent need for an up to- date playground as has been started at Avondale park.
 One of the things that the Avondale Recreation association hopes to demon- strste to the people of Birmingham is the absolute necessity of organized play and the benefits derived therefrom. The demonstration Is going to be modest one, nothing spectacular, a pioneer in the fight for local playgrounds.

He was favorably consid- cred by the Barons, although Manager Molesworth figured that Mowrey was better man. And later when Mowrey was put out of the game by broken foot, the manager considered Johnston too strong to let escape.
 Welchonce. however, should make mighty good man in this league. and it is believed that he will materially up- bolster the Volunteers.
