MORE PLAYGROUND
SPACE ADVOCATED
Commissioner Boardman
Adds Voice to Appeal of
Mrs.. Rhodes.

Commissioner Boardman today added
her voice to the appeal of the play
grounds department for the use of
vacant lots as athletic fields for boys,
who no longer are permitted by the
police to play foot ball and similar
games in the streets.
Commissioner Boardman said she
wanted it made clear to business men
and property owners that the play
grounds department desires the use or
the lots only as a temporary measure,
because she feels strongly that Con-
gress should buy more recreation
ground for the children Of the District
at an early date.
Although two days have elapsed
since Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes. super
visor OF Fairgrounds, appealed for
vacant ground, no offers have been
made.
The, supervisor pointed out today
that lots large enough for base ball,
foot ball and like games are needed
to provide recreation for the boys who
cannot play these games in the streets.
Mrs. Rhodes expressed the BELIEF
that the lack Of offers is q clear in
dication Of the fact there are few
pieces Of vacant ground left in the
city large enough for athletic games.
The supervisor repeated today that
she believes the police were right In
stopping boys from playing ball
games in the streets. Her desire IL,
she said. to find places where they can
play these healthy games.
