D:C.PLAYGROUNDS
ATTRACT ADULTS
More and More Are Sharing
Facilities With Kids,
Says Tennyson.

NLAYFUL. these Washingtonians.
- In fact. probably the most
frolicsome citizenry in the
United States, judging from
reports emanating from its Depart
ment of Fairgrounds.
1t Is estimated that the average daily
attendance on District Fairgrounds
during the months of July and August
varied between 25 and 30 thousand.
These figures show an increase of ap-
proximately 10 per cent over last year
and indicate that it's true what they
say about Americans becoming more
and more exercise conscious.
According to Richard S. Tennyson,
assistant supervisor of Fairgrounds,
there are two principal reasons for this
rising popularity of Fairgrounds. First
of all, there has been a steady i'm
provement in facilities. in regard to
both quality and quantity and secondly
because every year greater number
of city slickers are realizing that they
can step down to the corner and Join
the kids in some pretty valuable and
much needed exercise.
Adults Didn't Play.
TT SEEMS that IS years ago when the
playground movement was new
comparatively few adults knew any
thing about playground sports and
that was true largely because they
didn't have the opportunities to learn
the various games that were being az
forded their children. The point is
that the youngsters did learn them and
since have grown to appreciate play
ground activities to such an extent
that an increasing number are taking
part each year. Strangely enough,
when the Garfield Playground staged
homecoming day in August. several
hundred old-timers turned up who had
romped in the same dirt 20 years be-
fore and we find that those who played
then still are playing.
Speaking of facilities, during the
last Summer there were SO play
grounds operating in washington S
metropolitan area. OF these, 81 were
municipal grounds open the year
round. the other 56 adioined schools
and we're In use only during the vaca-
ton period, The District government
employs approximately 300 people to
man these grounds although that num-
Der dwindles to around 100 in the
Winter.

OHICAGO, October L. -Gaynell
I 'Tinsley apparently isn't con-
tent merely to win his spurs
as a National Professional
Foot Ball League "freshman'-he
straps them on for every battle.
The husky all-America end from
Louisiana State, who has blazed
brilliant path through the pro-league
ranks from the start of the season,
gave another demonstration yesterday
of his right to be hailed as one OF the
standout f1rst-year men of the season.
In the second period of the Cleve-
land Rams-Chicago Cardinals game,
before 10000 fans at Cleveland,
Tinsley scooped up tumble by Harry
Mattos and ran, stumbled and battered
his way 20 yards for the touchdown
which gave the Cardinals a 6-to-O VIC
tory. Tinsley, a 195-pound 6-footer
fell to the ground on the 5-yard marker,
but regained his feet and continued
over the goal line.
Performance Here Recalled.
IT WAS the second time in 10 days
that Tinsley provided the Cardinals
with their margin of victory. He scored
all three touchdowns as tn Cardinals
whipped Washington on September "a.
Green Bays champion packers, who
had lost two games, came back with
rush which swept Detroit's Lions
to 26-to-6 defeat. The Packers
scored in two minutes of the opening
period, added another marker in the
third and got two more touchdowns in
the final stanza, one on 7o-yard run
by Milt Gantenbein, who had taken
a short pass from Bob Monnett A %
yard aerial to Earl (Dutch) Clark
gave Detroit touchdown in the second
quarter of the contest, played at Green
Bay before 1853 fans.

Ranking Five Golfers.

nVe amateur llnkSmen around
Washington for this year:

holder of the Middle Atlantic and Dis
trict amateur championships.
No. 2-Levi Yoder, Kenwood. win
ner OF the Chevy Chase and Wood

No. 3-Volney Burnett, winner OF
the Maryland State title and the Fed

No. 4-Martin F. Mccarthy, Colum-

the District championship and a con-
sistently good golfer.
No. 5-Everett johnson, Beaver
Dam, winner Of the Manor Country
Club tourney.
Shea, Yoder and Mccarthy all
| qualified for the national amateur
championship held at Portland. Greg,
in August, but only Shea made the
trip. For a freshman golfer, in his
first major tourney, the youngster did
| pretty we'll, too. He qualified and
won a match, and fell in the second
round before a 5-under-par perform
ance by Freddie Haas, the intercol-
legiate champion.
Shea is a sophomore at George
town University and at the age Of l9
has a bright links future ahead OF him
Yoder Bows in Two Big Meets.
LAD Levi Yoder won either the
mid-Atlantic or the District
! championships he would have grabbed
| the top spot But Levi fell in the
first round of the ,mid-Atlantic and
District title tourney, after whipping
Roger Peacock in the opening round.
Yoder played little golf this year
Burnett's game was spotty. He set
| a sizzling pace in the Maryland tour

League affair At Indian Spring, and
then failed to qualify in either the
mid Atlantic or the District title tour
naments Nevertheless Burnett is one
of the strongest golfers in this sec
tor When he's right. he's unbeatable.
Mccarthy, always a consistent per-
former, didn't play in all the tourna-
ments. but his performance in the
District championship WAS a stand
out. He came very close to winning
the title, after being victorious in three
straight extra-hole matches
johnson was a surprise winner at
Manor, where he licked Russ Holle-
baugh in 21-hole final. But john
sons game is no surprise to his golfing
buddies at Beaver Dam. The former
sandlot base ball star is good golfer
and can win more tournaments.

1t came as public discussion of
the Klan's political activities con-

Justice Hugo l.. Black returned to
the United States from European
vacation. possibly to publicly clarity
his relations with the Klan.
Evans wrote Leib that: with
reference to the Klan's attitude to-

assure you that we have never made
any endorsements OF presidential
candidates, our membership simply
voting for their choice, as a result
of the record made by the candidate.
THE same would hold good in the

Schumann's Lost Violin Concerto.
The Germans will play it first.

1t is the only concerto Schumann
ever wrote for the violin and was
recently discovered hidden in the
vaults of a German museum wher2
it had reposed 81 years. Schumann

write such a masterpiece and the
fact that it was not accepted in MS
lifetime probably contributed to
his moroseness and death in a

board of prison terms and paroles
and a close friend of Larkin.
Larkin was unconscious when he
died. He had been under an oXy-

Rescue Attempt
His death brought to four the
toll of the bloddy outbreak. H. E.
Martin, guard, was killed when he
attempted to rescue Larkin from
rebellious eonviets who were hold

bullets.
District Attorney Otis Babcock
said he would seek additional mur-

surviving rioting convicts, already
under grand jury indictment charg-
ing them with first degree murder
in the death of Martin.
Larkin was appointed a guard at
Folsom in 1915. Until his death he
served there continuously, except
for the period of his enlistment in
the United States army during
the World war. He was made cap

He studied penology constantly, and
made it his life work.
When Warden Court Smith was
appointed head of San Quentin
prison, Larkin was named his sue
cessor at Folsom by the State Board
of Prison Directors Larkin was in
the second year of a four-year term
at his death.
Native Son
Larkin was a native son, born
in Redding, Calf.
Not only did he continue many
of the policies instituted by Smith.
but he continued Folsom's sue

even larger than Smith, measur-
ing six feet, six inches and weigh

Larkin died with the distinction
of being one of the only two men
to rise from a guards post to
warden. Warden Jack Smith who
served both at Folsom and San
Quentin was the only other man
to rise from the ranks.
Larkins death brought forth i'm

about the house. Sometimes such chairs seem a little plain and unin- teresting.- Often they are uneom- fortable, and they tend to make clothing shiny.
 An inexpensive WAY to improve them is to make seat and back pads Of a printed fabric that -harmoniZes with ether furnishings. The pads protect the clothing and also the chair fHish. They are tied, snapped on and can be taken oil to be laun- dered As straight. chairs are us ually the right sitting level, the pad must not be made, too thick or it vii make the seat too high for com fort
 To make seat pad. cut the de- sired number of thicknesses of cot ion batting the exact shape of the chair seat, but half an inch smaller on all sides Put these between lay CTS of cheesecloth and haste twice each way and then around the, out side edge to keep the cotton from
 notting when the pads are laun- dered- The. outside cover is merely a slip that may be put over the pad and closed with snaps at the back or pasted together Make tapes or the same material to tie the pad to the chair posts.
 The back pad Is measured and fit ted iu a similar way, and kept at the right height on the chair by sew ing tapes to the top corners and snapping them just below the top bar of the chair back. At the bot tom, the back pad may be finished with tape loops and. the tapes of the seat pad passed through these 10 hold the back pad down. Another idea Is to make the back cover slip on, with two bound holes for the posts to come through. This type reaches about two-thirds of the way down the back. An attractive finish is to sew white cotton braid CT ball fringe around the lower edge.
