Toots From The
Round House
May 20, 1926.
By Charles Erickson

The riptrack Redskins suffered
a severe defeat at the hands of our
roundhouse "culled gent linen" base
ball squad, known by the "big lea.
que moniker of Red Sox. The Ind
ians, so it seemed, were unable tC
get a good hold on their opponents
to do any ''scalping" and gave way
to the heavy attacks of the ''razzer
masters. But say, folks, the mech
anical department is certainly
going to have splendid band this
summer if things keep lined up the
way they promise to be. About a
dozen of the boys rendered some
good music for the last Sundays
game. In fact to them is due the
credit for drawing the largest
crowd to any diamond contest so
far this season. Carrying out the
idea. of general foreman Kiely, q
parade was made up at the West
End Camp ground and, with his car
in the lead and the band next, it
wound it's way to the City Park.
Our band, composed of Indian en-
pieces, will, when fully organized,
consist of some twenty odd pieces.
Chief Charles Kie is business mana
ger and your "Toots" editor has
been chosen as secretary while
Howard Sakiestewa and Harold
Youkti, both noted as being accom-
plished musicians, are handling
the directing end. Everybody!
Let's boost the band!
Walter Lewis, machinist appren-
tice, who has been serving the past
year in the San Bernardino back
shops, is back on our pay roll.
Walt still has about ten months
more before he becomes full
fledged nut splitter" He says
that both he and the wife are sure
glad to be in the Meteor City again.
One of our third trick cellar
packers, Abe Lockwood, is absent
on account of sickness. DR.. Hatha-
way will have him o. K. for work
soon is is hoped.
Among those who "wenta fishin' y
last week end to Lake Mary were:
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. S. Baker, Mr.. and
Mrs. R. G. Abell and F. G. (cap)
Blulein. There were over hun
dred Friday meals hauled in by
the party. Mr.. Abel got so en-
crossed in the game of fishing that
he never missed his coat until
after returning home. He immed-
lately drove back and was FORUM
ate enough to find it but his pocket
book, fishing license and valuable
ring were missing.
am sorry to report that another
reduction of forces" was necessary
and the following worked their last
shift on May 18th until business
warrants calling them back into SER
vice: D. C. Madrid, Harry Ruga-
ber, and Jack FloreZ, machinist's
helpers and F. Guerrero, Victor
Gonzales and o. Molina. laborers.
At last! Jack Pullins has fin
ally been transferred to San Berdoo
where he will continue to serve
his apprenticeship. Jacks transfer
was "held up" for nearly three
weeks pending the return of Walter
Lewis. Good luck and watch
your step" is the wish and advise
of your old pals. JaGk.
The forms were removed from the
first section of our newly "remod-
elized" roundhouse last Monday.
This will be repeated on the other
two sections just as soon as the
concrete is sufficiently set.
Looks pretty fine Mr.. c. E. (con-
tractor) Jones, yes, mighty fine.
Because of the i'll health of his
little five-year-old son, machinist
Tom Yamamoto and wife are in
Los Angeles while the child is un-
dergoing a thorough examination
in our Santa Fe hospital.
We had, as business visitor, at
the shops on Wednesday, Mr.. Fred
(Cy) Perkins, from his headquar-
ters in San Bernardino.
On May goth Ben Setima came to
the end of his four year appren-
ticeship sentence. He is now num-
bered among our list of machini-
SITS. Alta boy Ben. Congratula-
tions! Joe Harl will finish his
time this evening at 500 P. M.
Here's how" Joe.
l regret to report, S. Okabayosha
is in Sacramento. Calf, where he
was unfortunately called because of
the death of a neice.
And he's sure looking like mill
lion" too. The seven weeks abb
sence of our day boiler foreman,
NJ. C. Singleton, which was neces-
STATED on account of a severe sick
spell, surely did make new man"
of him. The first three weeks were
spent in the L. A. hospital where
he underwent major operation
and the balance was used for re-
