May Day.
, In the old days before the started splashing war taxes on ice cream
cones, May day was a time of confetti-tossing and giggling among the
people and relatives-at-law.
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.

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. The leaguers
will present the following line-up:
