PAGE FOUR THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, July 10, 1919 [Photo Caption] The Recreation Hour BASEBALL PASTIME OF CRIPPLED KIDS Youthful Ty Cobbs in Spite of Afflictions Play the Game Like Big Leaguers Wheel-chairs, crutches, and plaster-paris castes prove only a small handicap to the children of the Perkins hospital when it comes to baseball, flower gardens, or carpenter work. "Let 'er go", shouts Kenneth sitting up straight as anything in his wheel-chair, with his bat poised in mid-air. The pitcher "lets 'er fly" with his left arm since his right one is in a case, and the game begins. Kenneth is pretty good with the bat, so good in fact that the outfielder can't manipulate his crutches fast enough to stop Kenneth's wheel chair from rolling into second base safe. Clayton and Russell, ambitious little boys who have been in the hospital some time, have made two kittens the proud and comfortable possessors of a little square frame house. The gray baby kittens were found in a deserted barn close to the hospital one afternoon about a week ago and adopted the boys. With boards picked up in the backyard, and nails and implements bribed from Sam, a caretaker, they painstakingly built the shelter for their pets. "We're some carpenters" exulted Russell as he told about the house. Canna Lillies, sweet peas and old fashioned flowers standing in straight prim little rows, with scarcely a weed peeking through, testify that the girls are not less active than the boys. Their little garden is a favorite spot. The children think it great sport to take pictures of each other and their pets. Just now a robin who has conveniently made her nest between two boards near the girl's garden, is the centre of the picture game. Each day's development in the nest building is registered by the children's kodak. About 100 children are under the hospital's care at the present time, and many more are on the list waiting for admittance.
