NEED
IN BURLE|TH CITED.
New Area With Equipment
and Stating of Present
One Sought.

The Fairgrounds Committee of the
Burleith Citizens Association Is striv-
Ing to obtain playground for the
area and to secure better facilities
for the present school Fairgrounds.
Lieut.. Comdr r. Montgomery, chair
man of the committee, announced
yesterday.
The committee Is authorized to pro-
coed in this matter with full support
Of the association behind 1t, he said.
There are small Fairgrounds at
Gordon Junior High and Fillmore
Schools which have no regular SUPER
vision and do not adequately serve
the area because they are not large
enough and do not have proper facili-
ties. Montgomery said.
New Area Sought.
The group asks further that a play
ground be located in the southern
portion Of the area so that chill
dren will not have to encounter heavy
trafic on the two thoroughfares.
II the two school Fairgrounds are
equipped and supervised and the new
one provided, and access to Western
High School stadium is obtained for
the year round, the present need for
Fairgrounds In this area will be met,
he said
Explaining that the Physical Edu-
cation Department of the schools, the
Fairgrounds Department and the
Parks Division are so closely related,
Comdr. Montgomery said they should
be combined into one department.
The result would produce better facili-
ties at less cost to the taxpayers, he
said
The physical education teacher Is
through with the pupil when he leaves
the class room. The teacher never
gets the opportunity to make practical
use OF his training. On the play
ground. the pupil Is either without su-
pervision or under some one who is
not informed with what the student
is being taught in class or possibly
the supervisor has different program
from the teacher. Thus the depart
ments seem to work against each
other rather than together, he said.
This confusion would not result if the
divisions were combined, he stated.
Exercise Need Stressed.
Then, too, 1t is only the athletically
inclined child who makes use of the
Fairgrounds and the underdeveloped
child does not get outdoor exercise
Comdr. Montgomery said. 1T is not
how well the child plays the game,
but the idea Is for 1t to get outdoor
exercise" he said.
Children who have tuberculosis
tendencies do not get out in the sun
light because they cannot make the
team. If the same physical educa-
ton instructors that teach in the
class room could use the Fairgrounds
for practical training then all would
be better benefited because children
that are weaker and have less physical
ability could play among themselves,
he said. ..

Red Rain Disappoints, Too.

MOT until he hit the stretch, quar-
. ter of mile from the finish. did
Brevity show any signs of the speed
that has carried him to victory in five
of his eight starts since last year. Then
it was too late, for Litzenberger had
White Cockade out in front, setting
rapid pace. He was clocked in BITS
as compared to the track record OF
1.35.
Even a bigger disappointment than
Brevity was c. v. Whitney's Red Rain.
The chestnut son of Pennant, second
choice in the wagering, ran last most
of the trip He found his stride too
late to finish better than seventh in
a field that lacked only the presence
of Bold Venture and Granville to
make it a championship attraction.
Like the Kentucky Derby, Brevity
got away slowly, while White Cockade
never was far off the early pace set
by John Hay Whitney'S Mr. Bones and
Mrs Dodge Sloan's Delphinium. After
the race Wayne Wright claimed that
Brevity had been knocked off his stride
when bumped by Mr.. Bones soon after

MR.. BONES and Delphinium held

White Cockade into command and the
son of Diavolo headed into the final
eighth of a mile with a three length
lead.
Brevity, which had moved up to
fourth place midway of the final bend,
was coming fast and the crowd looked
for one of his famous finishes. But
White Cockade never faltered in his
victorious march and had no trouble
holding the Widener chestnut at bay.
