SH00TERSPROTEST |
CITY PRIZE AWARD.
IILobsters Violated Rules af Pa
Fade, Declares Charles Klein
New Years Association
WINNERS PARADlNG TODAY

Heartburniugs over some of the
awards of the Judges of Yesterdays New
Year shooters parade have resulted in
protest lodged by the Charles Klein New
Years Association with Councilman
John II. Bailey and II. Bart McIiugh.
But the Klein Club won the big $1,000
first prize, so they are parading this
afternoon from one O'Clock until six, all
through South Philadelphia. around and
about, carrying brooms in celebration
: of their Cleanup" of yesterday.
As the matter stands Councilman
Baizley. chairman of Councils New
Year committee, and Mr.. McHugh. in
charge of the parade directly. have been
asked to decide what must be done in
this matter of awards. According to
Captain John J. Shields. of the Klein
Club. some rules of long standing were
violated by their bitter rivals, the Lob
sters.
4 Chief of these. they declare. was the
use of wheels bv the LobsterS, to help
ho'd up some of their p7izo- inning cos
TUNES and the fact that one of their
suits, at least, was not in good condi-
tion but actually torn.
To beein with. the K'eins declare the
prize for the best cape, won by the
Lobsters. was given a cape that was
supported partly by wheels, and in
Addition, a cape made of mercerized
material and not real satin, like that
Of the Klein Club. The latter is
decorated with satin flowers, sewed on.
Then again. Thomas LandS, of the
Kleins, got no prize at all, and Sl5O
was given by the city for the handsomest
costume William Waltman. of the
Lobsters. received that. and it is con-
tended Waltman should have been
called a float, and not considered as
dressed in costume at all, his costume
was so big and elaborate.
Clown and Jockey Angry
Taylor Foster, of the kleins, who
$50 and honorable mention as
best clown, believes he should have re-
eeived the $3.50 first prize, and David
Crawford. as king jockey. got no prize
at all, and it is declared. the costume of
the I.obsters'" winning Jockey was on
those wheels again, -g~
{ Then the Indian costume of William
Schuman, of. the Klein Club, suit he
worked on for two years to make, re
ceived no recognition, and hrst prize
of $3.50 for best Indian went to the
HOLSTERS. George Hinkle, of the Lob
sters, the second best clowp, received
800, and his suit also, it is declared,
ran along with wheels under it. Those
wheels again.
If permitted t. J. o, the Kleins is
sue this defi-they will march in COM
petition with the Lobsters again It any
time and place to try to prove that
what they say about the matter is true.
