These files contain general information on individual sports, games, and events as well as records relating to the formal sports programs administered by the Recreation Division. Sports such as baseball, golf, tennis, basketball, and skiing are documented, as are checkers tournaments and events such as the Fun Frolic. The Fun Frolic was an event for girls which included a parade, a track meet, baseball throwing, and playground games such as squares, cartwheels, and jump-rope. Especially well documented are the swimming and aquatics programs, “Old Oswald” (Old Ossie) football and “Old Woodenface” (Old Woody) contests, both of which began in 1921, sponsored by the Parks Department and the Seattle Times. The “Old Oswald” was a six-foot football frame through which boys threw, punted, and kicked a football. The “Old Woodenface” contest was a wooden frame through which boys pitched baseballs to "“strike out" Old Woody.
