Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1914-10-09

1912 Indiana avenue, drove up to the
Somerset street entrance this morning
with a wagonload of hot dogs and a
stand from which to sell them. They
wanted to push back the fans from the
wall and erect the stand
Naturally the fans objected. A sleepy
policeman waited for some time for the
trouble to subside Of its own accord, and
when 1t didn't, took a hand. Misante
and Marno produced a receipt for S2j and
a permit emitting them to erect the stand
against the wall. 1t was perfectly good
receipt, signed by some confidence man.
The victims did the next best thing and
opened up the sale of sandwiches from
the wagon.
GERMAN BAND PROVIDES COMEDY.
Comedy for the fans was provided short
ly after o'clock by a German band
playing to an audience of one, by two
six-foot Negro dog coachers and by a
little puppy about four inches tall. The
band was playing in front Of a saloon
when a man, fourth from the end on
21st street, who had been keeping warm
by internal fluid applications, decided that
he needed music to cheer him up.
Accordingly, he paid the band - TO play
"By the Beautiful Sea-" exclusively for
him. After the band got fairly started
hiASAS was Il tOIulllbllOn On somerset
street, and the players deserted to see
what 1t was all about In close order
as is their habit, the Germans charged
around the corner and became terribly
mixed UP with the dog catchers, who car
ried large nets.
In the confusion the dog slipped into
drug store and escaped. After a short
and sulphuric session the musicians and
dog catChers separated and the music
was resumed for the benefit Of the au-
dience of one.
PLACES IN LINE BRING FROM %
CENTS TO $3.50
Joe Banks, the Camden fat boy who
was first in the line for the sale Of re-
served tickets and is fourth in one of the
bleacher lines, offered to sell his place for

that no one is asking more than that price
and frequent changes are being made

obtained for as low at % cents, House
