INTEREST
DISPLAYED IN
HORSESHOE GAME

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 90
Horseshoe pitching is the latest sport
to permanently attach itself to local
calisthenics. Such keen interest has
been displayed by followers of the
game here that women have taken up
horseshoe throwing, and the local
park board is planning to establish SO
more horseshoe courts.
Last year the Minneapolis park
board set up rs courts in various
parks of the city, but, according to

commissioners in charge of this work,
this has been found to be inadequate
and at least fifty more are to be
made. Z ~
To establish and equip a horseshoe
court is not much Of an affair, Mr..
Leighton said. The pegs are set 40
feet apart, and clay is planted within
a 6-foot area of each peg. he ex-
planned. A fence to enclose the play
ers is the last necessary to the courts

however. the pegs are set but 80 feet
apart, 10 feet less than the standard
mems sized courts.
OF the SO new courts proposed, APP
Iproximately two-thirds of them will
be made up for the fairer sex, &C
cording to Mr.. Leighton. At many of
the parks special lighting arrange
ments are planned for night contests,
and a number Of fields will have spe-

According to officials of the board
