R. X E. Official Says Compliment
 tary Things About FOreHlen

A poem written by one of the Rus sell and Erwin Manufacturing com pany officials, has been dedicated to members of the Foremnn'a Bowling club, Is as follow; Rip Van Wrinkle went to Eloep,-- At least tis said he did, For thirty years he didn't peep, Nor even raise n lid. It's always been source of wonder, That before he took his nap, He made the hills crash out with
 thunder
 Each minute q mighty clap. 'Tis also said he did the trick With pins and a wooden ball. I suppose he though he was pretty
 slick.
 But he wasn't,-not at alL For his thunder claps were pop-gun
 volleys
 Compared with the noise that roars Each Thursday night at Rogers Alleys From off the Alley floors. McCue alone. with his Heather" throat Lets out noise enough 10 make Old Rip turn in his grave and quote: Keep still or I'll awake" And when Phil Burkarth rools a strike And tries to make a mate, Such noise. no one ever heard the like, The hills reverbcrate. And when Bill Trask and Russell
 Gold
 Smash balls into the pins, The noise is so great, so I've been told, That a cannon's roar it aims. And Massey has that pretty way Of pushing down the ball, And you can almost hear him say: 70 darling pins, please fall.' If Bacon wants to roll high score, And be certain not to fail, He ought to multiply his sped by four, And not initiate snail. Bill Coney with clock compare,- A clock and he are just alike, Because if he's no time to spare, He always has the time to strike. Shanahan's game is built on hope, And he is hoping still, That somehow he will get the dope How his score with strikes to fill.  Anderson and Parker-there's pair, But wait. hold a minute; Black and Scott throw in a score, And then they're up agin it., And Watkins,-hes some bowling
 bird,
 An artist at the game. When he rolls, pin drop can be
 heard,
 So awing in his fame. With Dixon up, again the thunder
 roars,
 He'll beat the rest or die; But when you total up his evening s
 scores.
 He's nearly always shy We would go on naming many heroes In the Russwin Bowling Club; Even Hawley runs to zeros, And you hear him say, Poor Dub " So we'll take the bunch together To make the list complete; And they're winners no matter whe-
