Other innovations on the bathing
beach this year for the accommoda-
ton of persons wishing to indulge
in athletic pastimes while in bathing
costume is the installation of quot
grounds and what has been termed
a playground baseball diamond on
the beach.
These sports so often desired by
bathers are not found because OF
suitable accommodations free from
