II would be iaughable for me to rehash
the glories----"
BY this time Il was next to impos-
sible to hear Athlete Hitchcock above
the oral uproar caused by all the rest
OF the contestants, even though he was
still going strong. In the end everybody
lost, n hot sun and the strain OF shout
ing causing athlete after athlete to sue
cumb. And as for the press clipping
endurance contest (which was an event
designed much along the same lines ex-
cept that instead of describing ones
career the athlete at bat read ABOUT
himself from his scrap book) not one
OF the entrants recovered in time even
to get fair start.
Wherefore the momentous "Hitcny
Koo Track and Field Day" finally re-
solved itself into a rambling visit of all
the shows In Luna Park, interspersed
with long distance dancing In the Luna
ballroom and very rough riding con-
tests by the "Hitchy Koo' ladies OF the
ensemble. who used Sam McCracken's
elephants and camels from the r. I.
Richards Supreme Show and Circus OF
the Entire World In Luna as mounts.
Not only all the hitchykooers were on
the Job, but also there were present Miss
Blanche Bates. Miss Harriet Sterling
and Liaut. Gitz Rice OF the Getting TO-
gether" company. Miss Louish CLOSER
Hale. Miss Fanny Levine, Miss Empa
HUMPHREYS and many other officers and
workers of the Stage Women's War Re-
lief organization.
And the S. w. w. r. treasury was
fattened to the extent of an unknown
number OF dollars owing to the fact
that Hitchy auctioned dolls and things
and stun, and the "IIitchy Koo" girls
let the innocent bystanders dance with
them at a dollar a dance, and the Luna
Park management added cash dona-
ton to the lump sum which Athlete
Hitchcock turned over TO the women
workers of the S. w. w. r. as a result
of all these activities.
Toward sunset word reached Luna
that Arnold DAILY. Wilton Lackayt
and Nat Goodwin had just heard OF the
long distance monologue event and were
hurrying toward Luna in racing cars 10
get In on the event. whereupon Hitchy
collected the boys and girls about HIN,
and they all scurried home.
