 But the Church of St. John the Divine, an Episcopal Church, also is on Tony's corner. Church officials don't want the corner commercial lized. They claim Tony is a nuis- apce.

 Jacobs then threw down his blan- kets, got of his platform and start ed down. Lonnie pleaded with him to stay up. He gave her the silent treatment and continued his des- cent. He set foot on the ground, called his dog, Bob, and left.
 Lonnie, disgusted with the whole affair, said she would climb the pole and sit there until he came back. She is still on the ground, however.

Pole Sitter Quits Perch,
 Sweetheart

Coshocton, O., June 2T-(UP)- Mad Marshall Jacobs was down and out today, but his sweetheart-or possibly ex-sweetheart = had taken over his sitting duties atop a 1T6- foot flagpole.
 The flagpole-sitter's 1o-year-old fiance, Lonnie Cosmar, took his place on the 16-inch wide perch where Jacobs has roasted since Memorial Day after he left in a huff last night.
 The abdication, which put Jacobs out of the running for the Mara thon fagpole-sitting title, came as the result of a quarrel with his packers, according to one story; with his girl friend, according to another.
 John Latter, fairgrounds care taker, said Mad Marshall left last night, the first time he had put foot to the ground in 27 days.

BY SOL NIARGOLIs

A CLUE to the mystery of the
city,s missing recreationaI facili-
ties came this week from the
commissioner of public works.
To the STARS series on Chi
cago's "stepchild" communities
came new proof of the discrim-
inatory, haphazard distribution of
funds for public facilities.
A part of that $4,000,000 bond
issue recently passed for public
recreation is about to be buried
for safe keeping.
THE CITY'S proposal is to
sink S325,00O in 76-acre, aban-
doned clay pit in West Rogers
Park.
It'll take six years and six mil
lion cubic yards of garbage to
build one more playground for
well-to-do Rogers Park.
In an uproar over the odors
the garbage would create, the
rats the dump would breed and
the damage it would do to the
children, Rogers Park residents
have secured an injunction.
BUT NO injunction has been
issued for the miles of polio
filled dumps, garbage strewn
alleys W h i C h the city's dis
criminatory placing of parks
have left for children of low-in-
come families.
The area where the city pro-
poses to spend $325, 900 for rec
reational facilities is part of the
50th ward. Bounded by Howard
st. on the north, Kedzie and the
North Shore Channel on the
west. Bryn Mawr and the Rose
hill Cemetery on the south - it
has a population of 1858.
Already it has three recrea-
tional parks, two Fairgrounds
a n d fieldhouses, supervised
sports and crafts, clubs and
classes.
BUT CONTRAST this with one
southside district where TIL
population density reaches $4,000
persons per square mile, while
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-09-21

the desirable density is from
$4,000 to $4,000 per square mile.
Over the entire area there is an
excessive population of $1,000 to
100000. And here where the
needs are greatest the Gty has
seen fit to curtail not only rec
reation but school facilities. 1t is
the only section where children
do not go to school full day,
where in 1915, II schools had to
be used in double shifts. Recrea.
ton facilities were unseen. and
unheard off.
The Fairgrounds here are the
garbage-strewn, rat-infested al
leys, the narrow, dangerous
streets and the old dilapidated
structures still called buildings.
ITS TOTAL population is more
than 103, 256. Its entire public rec
reational facilities consist of
three small school-playgrounds-
and no parks.
AS the Mayors Commission on
Human Relations put it in a re-
port on housing in November,
1915, the low-income group lives
"in the midst of filth and decay
and pay exhorbitant prices not
only for inadequate shelter but
for food and clothing as well.

The kickoff of the game that
might well be termed 1.-The fight
to decide who will sit next to
Tombstone in the Southern Con-
ference cellar" will get under
way tonight at 8 o'clock at the
NOgales High School Stadium
when the Apaches play host to
the Tucson Amphitheatre Pan
theirs.
The Panthers are tabled as favor
ties over the Nogales club and only
a lot of good football on the Apa-
che's side could bring them a vic
tory. Amphitheatre has defeated
Tombstone and the Tucson Cubs to
bring them their sole wins of the
season. Nogales has performed in
six high school games and have only
brought home the bacon once.
Tombstone bacon isn't exactly what
the townspeople preferred but it was
marked up as a 500 win.
TOnight's game will end the
season for Nogales and from all
reports the Apaches will have the
time of their lives when they at
tempt to Outshine the Tucson
team.
Abe Trujillo received a fractured
hand in scrimmage Tuesday and is
not expected to see action tonight
Trujillo scored two touchdowns
from his left halfback position when
the Indians met Coolidge couple
of weeks ago. He will be greatly
missed in the game tonight as the
Apaches have lost almost all their
reserve strength.
The loss of CASTOR Bachelor also
has hit the Apache backfield. Bach
elier broke his leg in the Coolidge
game and has been in bed at St
Joseph's hospital since the injury
occurred.
Octavio Carrasco has been absent
from practices this week with a bao
arm. If the Apaches can muster
a complete team for tonights fra
