ROUND TABLERS
BEAT ATHLETES
Ball Game Features An
nual Simmons FrOlic at
Athletic Field.
OPEN NEW CLUBHOUSE

With Earl McMullen serving and
"King George" Halves receiving, the
Knights of the Round Table treated
their guests Of the Athletic Commit
tee to a rather unacceptable trimming
on the Simmons diamond Saturday
afternoon. Six to five was the final
score for the fve-course classic which
furnished food for laughter to five
thousand Simmons employees on outing
at the athletic field. Tasty even sal
ty, interludes we're provided by c, G..
Backus and Frank Wolfe, coachers and
coaxers, and banquet-master Red"
Smyth who presided in the umpire's
box.
The ball game was the feature of the
Simmons annual picnic and field day.
1t wasn't morning" and it wasn't
"evenng" but everyone/at the frolic
"got fun" out of the card Of sporting
events arranged by the athletic COM
nittee. No worlds records were brok-
en- or even tied; nevertheless "the old
pep" was just as evident among the
entrants here as among the athletes
competing at the same time in the
Harvard stadium.
Open Palace of Sunshine.
The games celebrated the formal
opening of the Palace of Sunshine at
the athletic field. The ladies' club
house was properly decorated with gar
den flowers for the occasion and the
kiddies' playground was even gayer
with running, skipping, jumping dele
cations of "the littlest bedmakers," in
Guiding a few "twinners." Music by
the SINCE band under the direction of
Bandmaster George Green, gave added
merriment to the folicking and proyid-
ed lifting melodies for the callisthenics
and folk-dancing. The afternoon was
given over entirely to entertainment;
there were no speeches.
Proving the wisdom of the safety
devices, with which the playground
apparatus on the athletic filed has been
carefully equipped, not single acct
dent occurred to mar the merrymaking
of the afternoon and early evening.
The Jitney Comes Back.
Not the least of the novelties at the
picnic were five-cent cones and soda
pop. After three years of unpopu-
larity the jitney came into its again to
the delight of the Riddles as we'll as to
the profit of the refreshment vendors.
Their wares went rapidly, in fact so
rapidly as to arouse the fear that
Steve" Robinson or Emil Fox might
drop in from the road at any minute
to arrest the statesmen for speeding.
4
of the picnickers this morning putting
the accent on the "some"; they GER
tainly learned that big money comes
not from the amount of profit on
single sale, but from the volume of
business done"
All of which showed that hq has
been carefully schooled in "the Sim
mons way"
