More than two hundred boys and girls of the Fifth ward, ranging from six to fifteen years of age, all members of the Boys' and Girls' Athletic and Outing Club, conducted by "Denny'' Butler, popularly known as the "children's cop," at 229 Lombard street, enjoyed a field day yesterday afternoon at the Point Breeze Driving Park. "Denny" Butler took the young athletes to the park in three automobiles, gaily flying the national and the club colors. Upon the grounds they were enabled, to show the proficiency which they had attained under their director's physical instructions during the summer months. There were .more than forty events in the contests, covering every phase of athletic training. Magistrate Carey donated prizes for running, walking and boxing, and other prizes were contributed by Fifth ward business men. Dr. Billings, resident physician of the Pennsylvania Hospital, acted as umpire in a baseball game between boys of the east and west ends of the ward.
