 Come see Barney Mason's gang play
 Tug Q War,
 They expect to yank Warmers crew
 all over the floor: Imm ovable object against irresisti-
 ble force;
 All seen at the big time, October
 the fourth. All the elite will be there; Merrs.
 Searles and Way, And his highness, George Baren-
 borg in his hll glass coupe. At bowling these three are the
 champs don't you see, But they're due for trimming, Jim
 Havlick told me. For those so inclined the1 ell be danc-
 ing galore,
 Everything but the "shimmy' is al-
 lowed on the floor; To all our brave benedicts I give this
 advice,
 Look out for the single boys, stick ..4...f. .~ right with friend wife. The music we dance to, the 'jazziest''
 known,
 Will be played by those artists
 called Fritz Martins own. Of course, you remember Fritz, the
 eX-Fafnir man,
 Who's now doin' business, doing all
 that he can. Now let us drift to the old baseball
 game,
 The married and free men are at
 it again. Unhitched Pitcher Brink has the
 game we'll in hand. Said one of our office girls, Gee,
 Ruth! Ain't he grand!" Keep your lamps peeled for his nibs,
 Sir Philip Case,
 It is rumored he'll run in a three
 legged race. As a side kick, the dope goes, he has
 Kirkus Kyle,
 Those two birds will look fine after
 running a mile. Then there's Dave Beloin and Mister
 Frank Lynch,
 The men who can do anything in
 a pinch. Tho at grinding only some think they
 excell,
 When it comes to athletics-yOu
 never can tell. But there's one thing more, most i'm
 portant of all,
 You can smell it's fragrance all over
 the hall. Running, boating and bowling all can
 keep,
 Let's all make a rush for that
