5000 Brookland Recreation Sweep
stakes victory and the unique dis
tinction of having the event named
for him next year, the Police Boys

the extent of approximately 500 by
virtue of the many paying fans who
jammed the Brookland maple plant
yesterday to help So of the East's

cess. Rose Colliflower, the Cherry
Blossom Festival queen, rolled the
first ball

plished this feat yesterday at Lucky
