the most amusing experiences of the

Rixey. the six feet six inches of pitch

Rixey is so long tina, it Is impos
sible for him TO lie out straight N

suggestions were offered to BIZ shetts-
line
cravath suggested tina, the window
be left open and Rixey could stick his
feet out OF it. To this Rixey objected
for fear he might awake In the morn
ing with several mail bags hung on
them.
Another suggestion was to the eff
feet that RlXey be tied in a loop and
put to bed However. Mike Doolan
came TO the rescue with a bright idea.
Why not remove the side partition
to the berth next to Rixey's ana LEI
RiNey hang his feet into the next
berth?"
Bill shettsline thought this good
idea. but he didn', like to stand the
extra expense OF another berth. How
ever. the siding was taken out, and
amid good natured chatting from the
bunch. RiXey uniressed ana retired.

of English participation in the big
