Mr.. Hoch, who boasts that he could
not begin to stop pig in an alley, told
reporter Of The GAZETTE, who called
on him Monday evening, that no per.
son will be admitted to membership
who could head off porker. He ex.
hihited his shape, and explained that
all the members need not show as much
curvature as he can boast of, but the
standard has been fixed and there is no
breaking the rule.
Several men have applied for mem
bership, but it was found necessary to
refuse to entertain their desires as they
would fall short of the test, conse.
quentlY all such people are barred out.
This organization is for bow legged
men only" Mr.. Hoch explained. "and
we will not have anybody in it whose
legs are otherwise. But, as we want as
large membership as possible, we are
very desirous that all will Join us who
are blessed as we are"
Mr.. Hoch then exhibited to the re-
porter an agreement which was drawn
up at Saturday nights meeting and
which the prospective members will be
asked to sign. He says he knows of u
great many men in the city who could
join and he<will make an effort to stir
up the matter among them. He hopes,
however, that those he is unable to see
will be present at the meeting, The
other members will also do what they
can to bring in new recruits, and it is
confidently expected that the organiza.
tion will be "howling success"
THE PRIME MOTIVE.
The main object in banding these
peculiarly shaped men together is for
the purpose of holding athletic exhibi.
tions, such as are conducted by other
organizations. 1t is the intention of
those interested to have show on the
Union street grounds some time next
month, in which the participants will
be bow-legged men. The main feature
will in all probability be race fos a
creased pig. The wiry little animal
will be closely cropped and liberal
coating of lard will be applied, after
which it will be turned loose in the en-
closure and the men with the rain.
bow legs will start in pursuit. The one
who succeeds in capturing the pig will
become its owner. Races of this sort
are not uncommon, butt in most instances
the pursuers are not blessed with curved
legs This feature will add to the in
