The folks Used to gyrate around a May pole holding ribbons in their mitts like subway straps. After they got plenty dizzy they would listen , to the village band trying to neutralize the racket made by the slide 'trombonist. The slide trombonist made all the racket, but didn't get near as much mon?y as the piccolo blower. After the Visiting firemen had marched slowly up the main stem, everybody horned into the big picnic and grabbed indigestion from last -year's sandwiches. The visiting firemen always marched slowly, as they didn't want to step out of the village. Then the mayor would make the ; usual mayor's speech that he inherited from his job and the sun would . sink somewhere outside the village unless it was raining. ( ' But things have changed since the days when grandpop only wore his 'necktie on formal occasions. The flapper who buzzed mother to page her early because she was nominated "queenie of the May" now - has a big brother who prays for a nice clear May day because rain always ruins the fuses on his set of T N T bombs. ( Big brother is a workingman who belongs to so many workingmen's 'unions that he hasn't time to work. He keeps his bad ear toward the ; factory whistles and wears silk overalls cut low in order to display his I nulti-karat diamond scarf pin. Big brother is a bullshevik which is ' Russian for majority, meaning majority of eats, majority of drinks, major- ity of pay, but minority of work. The folks still toss confetti on big brother's May day outings, but only the kind made by Mr. Du Pont The visiting firemen, still visit the village on bullshevik May days, but only to put out the fires that big brother has started. . : And they still calllt May day. Meaning that you May live through the Day and you May not. Ak-Sar-Ben Officials to Present Greatest Base Ball Team Ever Seen in the City 77" m aag STr-, -i- !

J . The Bouse That Jack Built 1512 FARNAM . Geo. Brandeis, with a sample of his employe tailors' art on his uni form, will be the initial sack guardian. . Louie Nash will be held across the field from Brandeis to prevent an argument by his station at third base. ' Davidson furnishes the light for both Brandeis and Nash, so in order to help them out s4me more, he'll be placed at second base. Everett Buckingham, he with the wonderful physique, will play short stop and manager Charlie Black says there isn't a better in the world that can get a ground ball past this short-field star, he is so fast. He is a naturally built shorttop, being a little less than nine feet broad at his narrowest point. If he can't reach it he falls down and stops 'em. Randall Brown is the only mis take Manager Black made in the selection of his team. He U placed behind the bat and it is a well known fact that Brown can't travel fast enough to catch cold, nci even a wife. . . . John Gamble, the famous Platts mouth Neversweats pitcher of a de cade ago, with be on the-mound for the Ak. club. Manager Charlie Black will be on the coaching line and if he is not banished by the umpire, the fans will hear a running fire of nonsen sical chatter all the time'. Charlie has a habit of "butting in" all the time and the umpire may De forced to put him off the field. Congressman Jefferis has been hired to umpire, the officials think ing he might like this opportunity to say something, as he dn't get any chance to speak during the re cent legislative session. If he don't put Charlie Black' off the field, he won't get a chance during the game either. . . . .Willie Wood, the well-known ice man, has volunteered to keep th water well cooled and see that thi boys get their "whistles" wet. ; Two ancient olayert will be on the bench to coach and advise the rest of the team and fill in if necessary. Daddy Weaver, a star of Terre Haute, 100 years ago, and Gus Renz, the well-known emigrant, who came all the way from St Louis to the United States 200 years ago are the players, of other days. Manager Black says if the West ern league can produce a tram that can equal his outfit, he will cuncede the-bakery. Then besides all this, the Tulsa Western leaguers will play the Omaha club in the first of a three-game series. Yeal verily, it should be a great day. , The two league teams will proba bly uncork a fast article of baseball for the Omaha club will try hard to crawl up the scale a few points, now that they are almost on equal terms with the southern clubs in the mat ter of condition and the Tulsa ag gregation is fighting hard to re gain the top position.
