The boy approached, leaned toward the
camera, suddenly put his hand instead of his
eye against the lens, and reached for Howe's
hand at the same time. The cameraman
sqee2ed the bulb, but the laugh was Tommy's.

door of St. Raymond's parochial school. And
the stranger who entered was talent scout,
conducting part OF the search which stubborn
David Selmick had maintained for more than
a year all over the Union. The scout talked
with many students at St. Raymond's. Then
he said, I'D like to look at that little fellow

Able in every other department. of the game,
Tommy was poor base-runner. 1t was the
SORROW of his life, because at that time he had
one fierce, burning ambition - to grow up
and play for the New York Giants.
The scout noticed two things: first, the
white faced intensity of the boy as he gripped
the big bat; second, the dazzling. unaffected
smile. eyes a-twinkle, with which he accepted
the bad luck and hollered "Shucks!" at the
first-base coach.

memorable scene where Tom Sawyer and Joe

they were home instead of in pirates camp.

visitors, for Washingtons park system
is one of the biggest attractions af-
forded the tourist. The National Cap
ital parks, in fact, provide the setting
for most OF the public buildings in
Washington and are essentially orna-
mental to the city. Maj. Pierre
LEnfant, in 1891. preparing plans for
Federal city, made ample reserva-
tions.
So ample, in fact, that today the
parks of the Capital embrace 676 res
ervations, totaling approximately
$500 acres Of land The park system
was established in 1890 and has been
under continuous Federal control
ever since, for period of $50 years.
For 18 years, from 1849 to 1867, the
parks of Washington were under su-
pervision Of the Secretary Of the In
terror. Then for period OF 66 years
they were administered by officers Of
the Corps Of Engineers Of the United
States Army. But on August 10. 1893,
care of the parks went back to the
Interior Department, and they became
permanent units OF the national park
system.
The story of the acquisition Of the
original park sites We now enjoy in
Washington is interesting. In addi-
ton to street areas which George
Washington acquired and which were
donated by the original owners, IT
reservations were acquired by pur-
chase. Among those purchased were
the Mall, the Capitol grounds and
the White House grounds, or Presi-
dents Park Other parks were created
from time to time, the chief ones be-
ing Lafayette Park, part of West Poto-
mac Park, the Monument grounds,
Judiciary Park and Garfield Park.
Because the original areas donated
for streets were exceedingly wide, they
permitted establishment OF parks and
circles and triangles at the intersec-
tions, and II these provisions con-
found the stranger in our midst who
is driving car, they contribute to
the beauty of Washington in such a
characteristic fashion that it would be
difficult to visualize the National Cap
ital without the charm of their restful
greenery and quiet, cool and secluded
areas.
Some Of the more recent acquisi-
tions of the park system were East
and West Potomac Parks, Potomac
Parkway, Theodore Roosevelt Island,
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
and Anacostia Park. Under the Ma
tional Park and Planning Commission,
comprehensive park system has been
mapped out to meet the future growth
