Commissioner Woods Praises
Force for Conception and
Success of Carnival.

The large and smiling face OF baoe
Mcdonald. the mastodonlc tratnc Pc
iiceman. never beamed more broadly
than Yesterday morning, when ne stood
M TO hear Police Commissioner WOODS
cal out his name as one OF the pre-
winners in the athletic carnival at
Brighton Beach track. All the big ana
brayynv men who won trophies we're
hacked into the trial room up at head-
quarters Jack Eller. the hurdler;
Howard Smith. the motorcycle cham-
MON. and. oh! all the rest of them.
what impresses me most about TINS
Honor Roll Relief Fund that the games
were given for is the fact that the
original conception came from po-
liceman and that the whole thing was
carried out BY policemen" said Com
missioner Woods ITS great idea.
| have been asked if these games are
going to be given every year. well
don't see how any one could stop tnem'
"The idea was to raise SlOO,OOO, ne
continued. "To date we have Sse.OUU,
although expenses must be deductGd'
| NAV say in passing that 1t IS usually
said that il takes about II TO 30 per
cent of the proceeds to raise sucn a
sum of money. In the case OF TINS
fund, am happy to say, the cost was
Just per cent
Before he read the names of the
prize winners the Commissioner TOOK
opportunity to say, anent the pollce
force:
"Thc major part Of policeman $
work brings him into contact with peo-
ple who are well, not the best part OF
our population. These games can
bring out the very best part OF the
city's people, and | want them 10 AT,
tend and see for themselves what Klhu
of men comprise the police force
Then the various winners began 70
stand I'D as their names were called -
big men. with kind. firm faces that re-
Taxed as ponderous handed applause
met each of them All were trim and
military in appearance. 1t came some
thing as surprise when Commlsslonel
Woods said. "Winners Of the fat men
race. each man weighing over 23C
mounds" TO see how utterly devoid OF
anv surplus flesh even these giants
were. They were simply three great
framed men, with straight backs and
close knit muscles that filled out their
uniforms as prettily as any pole vault
ers. By the way. speaking OF big ones,
the victorious tug-of-war team from
TRAFFIC A" was a superfne collection.
After the prize winners were named
there were motion pictures OF the
games, which attracted much interest.
Films showing the Mayor, Commits
sioner Woods and Chief Inspector
Schmittberger came in for a lion J
share of applause. The medals and
trophies we're then handed to the win
ners. John II. Hammond, who man.
aged the games. and his assistant re-
ceived gold and silver police whistles,
espectively.
