JOHNNY DENNISON
NOW OF LEGAL AGE
Manager of Championship Luxus
Grew Will Celebrate Birthday
with Banquet Tonight.
HAS TWELVE PLAYERS SIGNED

Today Johnny Dennison, manager and
captain of the Luxus base ball team.
which won the amateur championship of
Omaha last year, becomes of legal age.
At least Johnny says it is his birthday
and that he is only q years old. and who
would doubt the word of a truthful young
man, like Johnny?
In order to observe in a most fitting
and proper and even suspicious manner
such momefftous occasion as the day
upon which a young man becomes eliRi-
BILE to vote. Johnny has planned ban
quet for his crew of athletes. II will
be held tonight at $50 at one of the
hotels.
Dennison says he has twelve athletes
under contract with the contracts safely
deposited in his inside, pocket. iwhere
no sneaktlnef of pickpoeket may get
them. But the crafty Dennison refuses
to divulge who the said twelve athletes
are. He is keeping their names a vast
secret The only contracts which have
been registered with the amateur as
ISOLATION are those, of Johnny Dennison
and Johnny Hazen. The remainder will
probably remain a secret until Dennison
is inclined to make them public. because
Johnny issas hard to pump as. an Egyp-
tan sphinx. q.
oh. yes, and Johnny has another person
signed up. Being of legal age now, and
a manager of a championship base ball
team, Dennison has signed up secre-
tary. All successful managers must have
a secretary. What the secretary will do
is open TO debate. but that doesn't cut
any ice with the Luxus boss. Dennison
is also keeping the secretary's name a
secret. Johnny is a very secretive young
I man these days.
