quite popular and it is being played
every day by both boys and men. Hand
ball all over the country is growing
so rapidly that in the associations
many are building courts on the roof.
Cleveland, Ohio, association has built a
separate building which is given over
entirely to handball. Such is the de-
mand for this growing and fascinat-
ing game
Volley ball is another game that is
gaining in favor with those who do not
care for games which call for personal
contact with other players, game
that can be played by both old and
young.
Gymnastic work is coming back into
its own. This phase of work has been
neglected for some time back, but re-
ports from over the country show a
distinctive trend toward gym work.
