Arizona republican., 1921-02-13

HINDER a sky unflecked by single
 cloud, and on day that would spell summertime in almost every other section of the United States, the members of the Kiwanis club yester- day took their sons, or other mems sons. and spent the afternoon at a barbecue and picnic which was de- clared afterwards to have been almost a perfect celebration.
 Promptly at noon the club members met at the Y. M. c. A. building and started a parade which took in all the business district. Leading the process i sion was the Kiwanis press car with representatives of the two daily papers 1 of Phoenix and carrying the American and kiwanis flags. Then came the Indian school band on trucks. followed by the officers of the club. Following these was float emblematic of Father and Son, and representing the interior of home, with George Judson, prin- cipal of the Osborn school, taking the part sof father and his boy the part of 1 the son. The members of the club fol- ] lowed them in automobiles.
 The parade completed, the automo- | piles were driven to the ranch of Tom 1 c. McReynolds, south of Phoenix, where Harry Chambers and an eff cient corps of helpers had prepared a i barbecue which was as good as a meal in town. It took some time for all the
 
 eat for each had two or three helpings, with candy, nuts, apples and soft 1 drinks as finishers. and cigars for the grown ups, and then the program of sports started.
 This was under the direction of George Judson. The first event was two heats of running race between ponies ridden by Indian cowpunchers, and each heat brought the crowd to its feet. Then the Indian boys of the band entered 1o0-yard dash. which | was won by Thomas Throssell. with I Casper Lewis second.
 The fat menss race which proved l to be the feature of the afternoon started with about dozen entries, but these were thinned to about eight after the first 10 yards had been covered E. C. Mason won handily. and received a prize of 25 cents in rfickels and dimes with Wesley knorpp second Frank Kesson was disqualified because of 8
 vicious attempt to cross the line or his stomach and ear. About two min
 utes after the leaders had finished
 James Mulrein trotted across the fin ishing rope. but there are still doubts , as to whether he started fairly. The cowboys on the ranch then gave
 an exhibition of bronco riding after which two indoor baseball games wer, , started. The Scrubs and the Son: played two innings to a tie score of 5 10 ', but the sons were declared tS
 have won because they had better breathing powers at the end At tn, , same time the Weary Willies and tn,
 What Nots played to a score of r ts
 IA in favor of the Weary Willies. Tn. , one quarter score is credited to We Carpenter not because of his havinl
 nearly made a run but because of tn, : wonderful appearance he made on sec ond base.
 Credit for the parade, winch wa
 almost nine blocks long, is given en
 tirely to Benjamin Rice, who also con !, ceived the Father and Son scene 7 Harry Chambers. had the barbecue un der his directionswith Mrs. S. F. Chap : , man. chief of the service at the Y. NJ
