PLAYGROUND MEETS
TO HAVE BIG FIELDS

Indications are that there will be a
sharp increase in the number of COM
petitors this year in both the white
and colored Municipal Playground De-
partment's championship track meets.
The white competition takes place
August 25 at the Plaza playground
and the colOred affair on August L.
at Cardoza Field. At least 1900 entries
for the white meet against 1920 last
year, and 600 for the colored contests
compared to 400 in 1926, seem likely
Elimination meets are soon to start
on all the Fairgrounds to select final
lists for the title competitions.
Events this year will be practically
the same as last Summer and there
has been little change in rules. In
the white games the 1l5.pound hur-
dies event has been abandoned and
half-mile run has been added to the
colored list. The latter event proved
exceptionally popular In the white
meet last season.
Boys who have reached their nine.
teenth birthday will not be eligible to
compete. nor will those who have won
public high school letters. whatever
the sport.
Spiked shoes will be permitted only
in the unlimited relay and half.mile
run. Playground officials feel that II
spikes were permitted generally boys
not able to buy them would suffer an
unfair disadvantage.

Yesterday. Horace Lisenhee. who
