LINES FROM THE LIONS"
(By Ralph Johnson, Correspondent

NI Mn the merits OF the most
~ w dangerous OF the
~ specie. blondes, which
~ proves that the old
saying mans a fool"
is not to be too lightly taken. One
of the first words heard among a
group at the noon luncheon was that
of the difference between a. blonde
and a "Peroxide' blonde, d i. Is
the opinion of the writer, that inso-
far as the luncheon is a strictly
business affair" that such touchy
and delicate questions should be OK
cluded therefrom for the benefit of
all concerned. Such matters are not
for the public argument. IN the
opinion Of the writer, and can be
better ascertained by other methods.
The question of wives CANT; up
again. and waxed hot for a period Of
time, and the stats insofar as the
picn.c is concerned, has not been
settled, the "concensus of opinions
mot spoken) was that the matter
should be let alone and the picnic
would be a success If everyone would
use their judgment, and the matter
was allowed to rest there. Cub
Havrilla led the argument.
When the Cubs finally settled
down to business and their lunch, the
matter of larger space for the lunch
cons was taken up, as the present
room used has become too small,
with only t~wo-thirds of the member
ship present, and a number Of sug-
gestions were made concerning a
new location, the favorable opinion
seemed to center on requesting some
type of division in the main dining
room OF the Ferris, and a committee
was appointed to meet with Geo.
Stephenson to that effect.
Just before the social hour, when
the majority Of the fines collected,
Cub Nelson arose and stated that as
Mr.. Bergen of the Rawlins National
was absent that he would have to
be excused so that the public could
have the benefit of that august in
stftution. Such a request was re-
Sretted as the collection OF fines are
quite an item to the treasury, but
always having the public in mind,
Cub Nelson was permitted to go.
At one o'clock Cub Brimmer was
given the Social Chair and called for
information on the ball game be-
tween this association and the Ro-
tary, it was learned from Cub Sec
rotary Paulson. that the game was
to be a fact on the twenty-first of
this month. The question of a
parade the Saturday afternoon
previous to the game was brought up
and favOrably received, the parade,
If formed, is to be a burlesque at
fair and will be headed by the band
II possible. Some very important |
features are to be included in the |
parade and by other agencies in con-
junction with that affair. |
The reader is requested to bear in |
mind the fact that all the proceeds
are to go to the new hospital and
that the amount of the proceeds is !
directly up to the citizens Of Raw
Inns, everyone of whom is heart and
soul back of that worthy cause. The I
more perfect and complete the
building and equipment. the more
suffering relieved and lives saved, |
and it is the cooperation and the |
effort Of the citizens OF this city that
will make this institution perfect in !
it's aid to humanity.
The practice game of this den pro-
duced some rare talent, and will al
ways remain in the minds of the
members, among some Of the Incl
dents connected Herewith was the
fact that the human head is OF use
besides that Of wearing a hat. it
seems hat Cub billiard tireing OF
using a bat performed a rare stunt
of using the unfertile part of his
hatrack by bunting a "spitball" in
an effort 10 reach first base, the ball
glanced, however, and was located
behind the bleachers after much
effort.
ryh VntoIn~ ruor o0fnh1- 1rl -,
pire and performed both duties best
while running bases, the statement
of the writer that Umpire Zeigler is
a dodger of note was amply proven
on the field al he managed to dodge
every ball, and all the responsible
ties connected with his positions,
and it is Of special note that he made
the only home run during the game
due to an overthrow" he making
the run while a new ball was being
brought from town.
The score stood at Is to Is in the
third inning. n some talk of add
ing more bases or e%nlarging the dia-
mond so as to accommodate the run
ners was heard. all Of them arrived
"home" in good condition neverthe-
less. and because of the lack of an
adding machine, the standing Of the
teams was lost In the fifth inning.
Cub Boyer entered the game
dressed in a pair OF kid gloves, and
promptly earned the title OF kid
Glove Boyer. he was found to be
a most proficient player when hav-
ing his hands behind his back, and
waB advanced, to the position of OBJ
server for the coming big game.
Cub Sandy" Whitehead stated
that Pitcher Jones arm was more or
less ~irratic, as he could place
the ball where it was needed the
most. and usually did lot have 1t
at all in . pinch, there was some
talk of having him indicted for
throwing the game" when he
"overthrew'' on q third base play
