BOYS TAKE FIRST SWIM
At THE BATHING BEACH
At Least Thousand on Hand
for Opening of the Sea-
son Today.

Troops OF small boys bore down upon
direction this morning and gave the 1919
swimming season an Inauguration that
is not apt to be forgotten soon by the
officials and employees of the institution.
There were at least thousand of the
boys on hand at 10 o'clock, when DR..
W. B. Hudson, superintendent. opened
the gates to the pools, and many Of the
number had been standing in line for
hours. The crowd was the largest OPEN
ing day attendance ever recorded, and
overtaxed the capacity Of the beach.
AS it was impossible to provide the
army of youngsters with locker space, d..
Hudson was forced to place limit on
the amount of time spent by the bathe1s
In the pools-a plan that kept the crowd
moving and eventually made it possible
for each boy to get an opening day
swim.
Boys Are Orderly.
1t was an orderly set of boys. There
were neither scraps nor accidents, al
though DR.. Hudson's life-saving crew was
on duty, ready for any emergency.
Il never saw a better opening day.
said DR.. Hudson. THE attendance Is
gratifying and shows that an institution
of this character is popular with the
people"
For boys the hours this season will
be from 10 to IL and to o'clock. and
for men from 4:30 to pm. daily.
Ladies' days" will be Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays from to 10
am. and Wednesday afternoons from 2
to s O'clock
Expects a Record Season.
That today's big attendance is the
forerunner of a record seasonal attend
ance, which will more than ever dem
onstrate the need Of additional facili-
ties is the opinion of DR. Hudson.
Congress has authorized the Com.
missioners to submit. in conjunction
with their next estimates, plans for
two 'new bathing beaches for white and
colored persons. 1t is not expected
that the new institutions. if authorized
by Congress, can be made ready for
use before the summer of 1915 or 1916.
The white bathing beach probably will
be located in the tidal basin. while that
for colOred swimmers will. in all proba-
bility. be established at some point on
the Anacostia river.

IN NORTHERN LEAGUE

The first $1,000 of the guarantee
fund to give Virginia a place in
the Northern League was raised in
fifteen minutes Friday afternoon.
The remaining $1,000 is assured.
There will be a meeting at the
municipal court room Saturday
evening at 8 O'clock which will be
attended by all the fans and SUD-
porters of the game and the final
arrangements will be made. Vir-
GINA can have place in the league
with these cities: Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Grand Forks, Duluth, Sun
erior, Winnipeg, Fort William and
Port Arthur, the latter two cities
combining to have one team.
The grand stand will be enlarged
and the grounds greately improved.
The schedule of the league calls
for 40 games and 60 of these will
be played at home. The season
will commence early in Nav and
will run through to the middle of
September.
1t is generally conceded that the
obtaining OF place in the North.

stroke of advertising for Virginia
as live aggressive city, that could
possibly be brought about at the

MANY WANT PAPERS.

Dozens of foreign born residents
come to the court house over the in
terurban line every week from the
outside towns and locations and
make applications for citizenship.
Monday is the big day in the
clerks office for naturalization pa
pers as many of the men wait until
they change shift from nights to
days and take advantage of the
Monday off and come over for their
papers.
From twenty to thirty generally
come together for first papers and
the office of the clerk of the district
court is kept busy taking names and
descriptions and measuring the ap-
plicants.
Many are getting full citizenship.
The education of the children and
their influence on their parents is
said to be responsible for the in
creasing desire of the foreigners to
enjoy all the privileges of American
citizenship.
