Head of Southern
Corporation

CHICAGO, April Capt.
Bob Roper, a pugilistic prod
uct of the world war, has laid
aside his boxing gloves, which
have earned him a fortune in
102 ring contests since his
discharge from the army in
1918. He will become presi-
dent of a New Orleans chemi-
cal company.
Roper entered the ring be-
cause he was broke when dis
charged from the army. He
owed $1,700 and needed i'm
mediate funds for his family.
In his six years Of boxing,
Roper fought all the leading
heavyweights except Dempsey,
and never was knocked out.
He served six years as an en-
listed man before being ap-
pointed captain at the out
break of the war.

seeing the fitness of things, slam

Those are the three question:
which Skillet" is asking of his
guests for that notable matinee.
There is nothing compulsory
about the ticket winners taking
more than a spectators part in the
festivities, but it would tickle The
Times squirrel editor to have some
Of his little friends in costume with
him on that day.
So, If any of you lucky members
Of "Skillet's'' party wish to throw
off the cloak of care that day and
join In the hilarity to the extent
of dressing up in your widest array
and possibly doing a somersault or
two as the gang moves past the
grand stand, just let Skillet" know
the nature of your speciality and he
will bill you accordingly.
Skillet" is able today to inform
his friends a little more thoroughly
about the details of his party-so
read the following very carefully:
The limerick spanieIs will meet
"Skillet" promptly at $50 o'clock
in the Fourth street block between
+ and U, which is about three
blocks removed from the center
field gate, through which the linn.
erlck winners will enter the field.
Every member must be sure to
bring his ticket, as there will be
man on the gate to take them
up.
The parade will move off at 8
O'Clock promptly, headed by a police
escort and The TImes.Herald news.

everybody to be there a half an
hour early so that he can get them
In line properly and have everything
In working order by o'clock, and
so that the grand entrance into the
park win go off smoothly and with
out hitch.
"Skillet" has arranged with Major
Sullivan to have the Fourth street
space between T and U exempt
from automobile traffic during that
half hour and to provide police
protection for the squirrels who
will be feeling their very giddiest
The parade will be north on
Fourth street to Elm and west on
Elm into the centerfield gate, which
Mr.. Clark Griffith has been very
kind in agreeing to have opened for
this special occasion. That is not
a very long parade and the women
in the party will be able to stand
it, even If next Tuesday is a very
warm day-which hardly seems pos.
sible.
Don't forget that s'SkIIIet" will
be glad to have yOu come cos

There are constant cries from the
fans for johnson. Apparently they
would be contented If they saw
Johnson merely running around in
uniform. The Washington club
cannot prevent fans everywhere
from wanting to see johnson, the
greatest pitcher in the long history
OF the league. Therefore, it is being
shown daily that he should be with
the team on its transforming trip,

satisfied if they but saw him.
