The competition is open only to those

who have proved their ability q chance TO

Despite the fact that the links Of :hc

gested that a slight change be made at

apology to- Eugene A. Philbin, president

tion. The children went on strike last
Monday. and refused to play because
their friend and instructor. Arthur Cope
land Brown, had been relieved from his
duties.
The strike leaders capitulated yester-
0ay In this letter to Mr.. Phllbln:
lust a few lines letting you know how
sorry the boys OF the Bronx Park Play
ground are that they started this trouble.
We don't want this playground closed
On Monday, because II Is needed In the
n Ighborhood. and we give you our word
of honor that we will help whoever you
appoint there. but we prefer Mr.. Brown.
We struck because we really wanted
Mr. Brown, but the papers did not tell
the truth. They exaggerated too much.
We know now that we were wrong. for
we should have sent In Il petition To
have him reinstated.
So please accept this apology from us,
and keep the Bronx Park Playground
omen for the rest of the season. and
kindly do Us favor and have Mr.. Brown
reinstated Respectfully yours,
