There's plenty Of JOY at Park
View School today. For athletes
at that institution are being
honored for their victory in
the Municipal Playground track
and field games yesterday for
elementary school teams.
Park View accouted for 4312
points to win from a large field
Totals for the other conteSting
schools are as follows: E. V.

More than 500 youngsters COM
peted all told and even though
officials had plenty on their
hands to run off the event, they
did SO in the record time of three
hours. incidentally, there were
no records broken.
The tehe event was intro
duced for the first time for the
youngsters and 1t was distinct
success. All marks set yester-
day will stand as records until
bettered in future years.
Probably the best race of the
afternoon was the 85-pound class
36O-yard relay. The e. V. Brown
quartet, composed of Berkley
Pierce, Higgins and Willis, was
returned victorious when the
Monroe four was barely nosed

GAMES To Be.
PUBLISHED
WEEKLY

Nearly hundred umplreS ana
managers of The Times Junior
Baseball League gathered in Room
4O5 of The Times Building last
night, for one of those old-time
pep meetings. 1t was an orgam-
zation rally, for the purpose OF
making it easier to arrange
games, choose diamonds, and
create more efficiency in general.
Some good officers were elected,
fellows who know baseball and
how teams and games are man
aged.
Here are the new officers of
the league:
President James Hayre lem
ployed at Union Station and
can be reached in the daytime
at National 1870, branch 225O
He is now in charge Of the
league, and will make q good
president. Vice president in
charge Of umpireS, Leo Motley,
with v. M. Lawrence as his as
sistant. Vice president in charge
of managers, Gilbert Levey,
with Harry English as his as
SiStant.
Every chap attending the rally
last night showed his enthusiasm
for baseball and the league, and,
while the fellows we're together,
they made arrangements for a
whopping big series Of fast games
this coming weekend.
Here are some more chaL
lenges: The Burroughs Insects
want q game any weekday, or
preferably Sunday. The Cliff
Bottoms want to play their
games on week days after
school closes. The SOuthernS
would like to play on Sundays.
Any teams wanting to cross
bats with these can do SO by
getting in touch with Mr.. Hayre
or by calling The Times, Dis
trict $3.50, branch 231.
The Times made a mistake the
other day in recording the score
of the Joe Judge and Burroughs
contest. 1t was a tight game
with a 4-3 score, but the Bur
roughs boys were wrongly listed
as winners. The Joe Judge war
riors took the big end of that
+3 score, and we hasten to
give them credit for q victory
they earned.
The Times will publish, very
soon, a full schedule Of games,
with diamonds and umpireS
and everything. 1t is planned
to publish q complete table OF
games every week In The
Times, perhaps on Thursday
of each week, SO that all doubts
and conflicts can be SmOOthed

descended with the fury of a tor
nado.

GOVERNMENT TO
BUILD BIG DAM
IN CANAL ZONE
Will Call For Bids On
Structure In Next Few
Weeks.

DENVER. Colo, June 26. UP
Plans are being drawn in the Of
fees of the United States Recla- :
nation service in Denver for a
SIS 100000 dam to be constructed
across the Chagres river in Pan
anna.
The plans are practically COM
plete, according to E. S. Randolph.
designing engineer in charge, and
the government is expected to call
for bids on the project some time
between July and July 10.
The bids arc to be opened about
September l in the Panama canal
office in the Munitions building in
Washington.
The purpose of the proposed dam
is threcfold; to provide for an an
ticipated increase in water demand
due to normal growth in traffic
through the Panama canal; provide
additional hydro-electric power and
to control floods on the Chagres
river
Construction of such dam,
Randolph said, has been contem-
plated for about 35 years. The old
French canal company saw that If
a canal using the lock system were
to be built across Panama 1t would
be necessary TO create supple
mentary water supply in addition
to the regular lake to operate the
locks.
Gatun lake. which forms the
present water supply, was also
formed by damming the Chagres
river.
Madden dam. which has been
designated as the name for the new
project, will be located near the
village Of Alhauela and will be the
largest single project undertaken
by the government in Panama since
the completion of the canal.
The dam is to be 2,700 feet long,
220 feet high, and have a top
width of 20 feet. The lake created
by the barrier will store $4,000, ,000,-
900 feet of water, or 100000 acre
feet. 1t will take from three to
four years TO complete.
