BOYS PLAYING BALL
IN OLD GRAVEYARD
SHOCK DOWNTOWN
(Tombstones Used as Bases.
"Ghouls" Battle on Scene
Which Witnessed Last
Burial in 1 890.
HEEDLESS YOUTH PLAYS WHERE TEARS ONCE FELL
A graveyard that neighborhood chil
dren use as a plnv ground, where tomb
stones are hues for the "Gravevm-d
Nine," Is a sight which has shocked thme
who wnlk or llvo along Pnssyunk avenue
near 21st street. The graveyard U the
old Philadelphia Cemeterv, bounded bv
Passyunk and Snyder avenue and 21st
and I2d streets. Across the way ore the
northcrnmort homes of the Olrnrd estate
The last funeral there wns In l5". but
It might have been 4f years ogn. to Judge
from the ruin that rovers th- tract
Weeds grown waist high an ! mi.ill trees
and underbrush tlwit have ppning up In
lho 20 years' desolation hide the white
tombstones so closelv that n casual glance
over the torn Iron fence would cause the
uninformed observer tr mistake the place
for a large and unusually unkempt vacant
lot.
But a look Inside shows white
stones through the trees and all that Is
left of one carefully kept fenced plots,
now hummocked and twisted and guarded
by strands of lusty Iron chains, strung
from pillars which stand an way but
upright.
CHAPEL A RUINOUS Pll.n.
Two weather-worn posts with drooping
gates stand at the entrance on Passyunk
avenue. Back of them In the thick of
the weeds Is a slanty ruin that looks moro
like an old Sriinlsh mlsion In southern
California than anything extant todav.
This was the old receiving chapel, where
funerals brought up with the bndle3 and
ministers said the last services
It was built In ISIS, a fact gleaned by
Industriously rubbing a cornerstone set
In the side. Then the chapel nuv have
been a fine monument. Its bricks were
covered thick with brown plaster and
there was stained glass in its narrow-cut
windows. But today the plnster has
.shucked oft in great patches and the
windows are crumbling, with their col
ored glass and sashes on the ground.
Back through the central arch of the
receiving chapel and over the weeds
growing you see more tombstones through
the trees.
"GHOULS" PLAY BASEBALL
Walk through It and come to the base
ball diamond marked out by tombstones,
the scene of struggles of the ' Graveyard
Nine." Rivals call Its members "The
Ghouls," but the team plays after school j the ordinance submitting
each day, running undisturbed and nglle
over a tombstone that Is the home plate
and sliding to second base, whore lie a
couple who died In March of '67.
"The Ghoulh' is, the most popular or
ganization In the cemetery, because none
of the other diamonds there have more
than one tombstone apiece. "The Ghouls' "
diamond has one for each base and home-
plate, with several thrown In out In right xurcs,
new. uesius mat. mere is even a grand
stand made of overturned headstones and
corner posts, much valued b spectators
when "The Ghouls ' have a close game on
There Is n wide dealing where the cov
eted diamond was laid out. and the land
slopes awav to the east and down to the
other diamond. All over the fields are
dotted with overturned tombstones und
small monuments.
The open spaces are most sought by the
children, though when thev are many and
the fun Is bright the ruined chapel In the.
underbrush nnd trees Is a popular r-sort.
In twos or threes they h.ins bnrk if ou
sk them to look inside the chapel.

But Jimmy went In through a trapdoor
in the side and returntd later, dust tov

The "caves" were once vaults In the
chapel, now half undermined and crum.
