But Chairman J. L. Morahaftd of the Durham Ke- craation Commission came back at bias with "more truth than j pcetry." Ha told the Mayor that' if tba city would ,spend mpi£ ^ ■toney for pArks and other cra^onal facilities, there would b* leas aaceuity for spending a giaat deal for police. At the Hillside Park the boys and girls have .really been taught bow to use their liesure tina ftad how to keep out of mis ■hicf. Hm opening of the park at night means that the police' afficam will not have the duty of' abaaing boys and girls off tha ^ atraats and cff comers and /away 1 Ivoa **aecluded rendezvous” on I tl.ese iummer avenings. They will be at the park making the letter use of their spare time. Of course there will always be some exceptions.

The crowd went wild when when she assumed her c^r.ching ptaition without kncwing about the rii>. Her teammates came to her rescue with another skirt. The game between the Elks (B^k Sox) and the House of David last Friday night vms held up time after because of debat ed decisions or the kJtk of auffi c:ent balls. It seems there were about three balls in circulation and when all of them were fouled outside the park, we to twiddle our thumbs until some one went outside to do a bit of hunting. To make it worse. Wolf of the Houke, fouled one into the electric blubs and cut the ball So that it was ruled out of the g^bne^ leaving fewer ball to be fouled and rofound. Something new in night base ball happened in this same game I'he game was ’ “called bec^se of darkness.”' The game came to an end ibecause the teams did not decide to pd|y the extra fS.OO to keep the lights burning until the end of the game.
