Then there were the usual innocent
games of chance to lure the nickelS
from the jeans of the ambitious youth,
and there were foot races in which
those who aspired still higher might

Joe Matz came near doing. Following
is the result of these races:
1O0-yard dash-Frank Rosenthal, first
prize; Mic Bare, second; Roman Polls
XII, third.
Ladies race-Mary Rosenthal, first;
Bronze Bolinski, second; Mary Lun-
deslki, third.
Old mems race-Joe Matz, first; John
KocidowSki, second; August Kaldun-
Ski, third.
Little girls race-Rosie Risenthal
first; Annie WicZyinski, second; Rosie
Skorczewski, third.
