"DRUMMoND's WILD RIDE"

You've heard of General Sheridan
 and tho ride that brought him fame,
 Now we've a modern Sheridan in our ranks-Fred Drummond is his name.
 For Wednesday afternoon did find Fred in places far away
 When 1t dawned on him. by gosh, 1t was his bowling day.
 The wires they burned with mes
 sage hot. to Ole Martel cried
 he,
 "T'n make it if 1t breaks a leg.
 you can depend on me-" Past city and town he drove that
 car for cause he knew was
 right
 The only time he stopped was when
 the cop did flash red lights. Just like General Sheridan he arr
 rived just in the nick of time But alas. my friends, the ride went
 for naught. for he bowled Q
 seventy-nine.
 
 The Nelson steam rollers again sopped the high team duke. Three out of four Is not so bad. boys.
 Bill Brigham" Young theh be- spectacled shiek on Jack Murphy'a team, sure dirtied the sheet in the last game. His 115 gave his team enough lead that Red Morinrty, the Murphy anchorman, just ,coagted in. The same John Moriarty when vary small boy must have had . fox for q playmate. he tried to tell us about tho most comfortable shoes to buy just as time when we are going to put the pan on Bill Cahill. who was trying to knock off m easy spare leave-We near ly fell for 1t, Red.
 IT one happened t0 pass the old ScovIIl street fire house about ten years ago he probably would have seen Jack Murphy very comfort ably seated in large chair sun- ming himself (wcathcr pcrmitting) waiting for the next gong. Had one also been in tine vicinity of some of tho conflagratiOns, such at consumed the Walton apartment, they would have seen Jack pcrciIed on the topIn0st rung Of . ladder feeding water to the angry flames for Jack was at one time one of the fire fighters of our fair city. He did quite some reading during his spare time as q fireman and noticed most of the magazines de- voted sccvral pages, which were flttingly illustrated, in which they told Of the numerous advantages in the electrical field with the rc- suit that thc city lost a very good fireman and the CLAP Co gained . loyal emDIOye. He has been with the company over five years and has been a team captain in each bowling league since hc joined the ranks. He's both . good winncr and loser and we always get ( great kick bowling against any team of which he is member, Say a word in the mike, Jack.
 While Seymour Smith k one of the leaghe's quietest men, we don't think there is q member of the league who enJoys the game any more than he does. We have never noticed the word absentee written after scymour's name.
 Harry Brennan, the party pro. moter from the west end, got gC excited after making difficuil mark that he lost his balance and had to run half way down the al. lev before he recovered himself Pretty serious guy this Brennar feller.
