shops to work in. With them
came youngsters from broken
homes and homes weighed down
with poverty.
Some laughed at him when
Charley told them to take a
shower and scrub off the CRIME.
How could they when their un-
derwear was sewed on? But
under the sooty exterior Fyfe
usually found a good, honest
youngster, who only needed elbow
room and some equipment to
work with. If anything was
wrong, it usually was with the
parents, not the boys, he found.
The boys club. at long last, has
lost the stigma Of being a haven
for so-called juvenile delinquents
and poor kids. It's as necessary
as the corner grocery store and
holds a place in the community
as honorable as a church.
Take a look inside the Eastern
Branch, Boys Club Of Washing
ton-and you're welcome-and
you'll see what Fyfe means when
he says this work is no charity
but sound investment in good
citizenship. The pity of it is that
every neighborhood can't have a
similar club with a well-stocked
library, gym, swimming pool,
basket ball courts, boxing ring,
wrestling mats, printing and
woodworking shop, art class, etc.
There isn't a family in Wash
ington wealthy enough to give its
children the things found in the
club, not to mention the expert
instruction that goes with it.
That's another thing about
the club, pointed out Fyfe. "Peo-
pie overlook, or possibly, don't
know about our other work. Do
you know we have two bands and
a symphony here at the Eastern
Branch? We're giving a concert
at Constitution Hall April 80, and
you should hear some of those
9 and 10 year old youngsters
play"
I suppose we should, but, be-
ing in sports, we'd rather have
another look at the old Flashes,
or the teams that numbered
Bozie Berger, Pat Rooney, Monk
MacCartee, Bernie Lieb, Tom
Nolan or Dopey Dean on the
roster. They made sweet music,
too, with a basket ball.

Boys Club of Washington was a

didn't know he was beginning a
career that was to make his a
nationally prominent figure in
boys club work that crisp, Octo-
ber night in 1921 when he walked
into the old club to take charge.
All he knew was that he had a
big job to do, with no previous
experience. But he had the con-
fidence OF q 17-year-old and in
valuable training under Prof.
Charles F. Beckett and Charles
(Pop) Wannan at the YMCA, so
he rolled up his sleeves and went
to work.
"I started basket ball because
thought it would teach the boys
tolerance and craftsmanship" he
told us. "And 1t did. Where
you came from or what your
father did made no difference to
those boys as long as you could
put the ball in the basket. They
wanted to win and knew they
had to have team play to do it.
The record shows how well they
succeeded"
The Flashes were the Celtics

100 and 140 pounds. of the day.

in qualifying for the National

tournament that week." Bobby
said, you win it in the weeks of
preparation" and If Brownell
hasn't time to practice, he seldom
takes time to play.
Last year, the folks who follow
the local golf tournaments were
Of the opinion that Brownell was
as good as any amateur in the
Nation. They were bit preju-
diced, of course, but Bobby was
playing some terrific golf.
When he won low amateur
honors in the National Capital

local competition to beat. This
year the field will include the
former National Amateur cham
pion, Dick Chapman and Frank
Stranahan, who will play in his
last tournament in this country
before taking another crack at
the British Amateur.
Although Brownell will have
the advantage of familiarity with

Chapman and Stranahan are
