“Now the coaches are lining their purps up for the start of the race and the starter. Sue Ann Lin- deman, raises her whip to signal the start. (Sue finds that she can make as loud a noise with a whip as with a gun and she doesn’t have to buy bu:lets for a whip.) The whip comes down and they’re off. Skillman’s dog Satan jumps into the lead. (The Devil you say!!) Gray’s dog. Wolf, takes off across the stadium after Joan Tisue, as all wolfs do, so he automatically forfeits the race. Oh, oh, thar’s treachery afoot. A culprit whom I recognize as Pat Bou hek is trying to coax all the dogs (ex- cept Chas. Kelly’s) out of the race with some beef- steak. Oops, it backfired! There goes Kelly’s dog out of the race, but the rest of the pack are still in there pitchin’. It looks like it might be a photo- finish. It’s any man’s race now or any dog’s. They’re heading down the stretch, every dog neck and neck. What a race WHAT, A RACE? And now time out while we hear from our sponsor. Baldwin’s Cooking School.” “Are you getting in the habit of saying to your wife, ‘What are you opening up for supper?’ when you should be saying, ‘What are you preparing for iupper?’ Ship your wife to us and one of our cooks will teach her what she ought to know. Our cook- ing staff consists of Arlene Mattison, Mary Ann Stoll, Doroth Eichten, Ardys Werner, and yours truly, Baldy. Now back to Bob Aufenthie and the race.” “Where was I? Oh, yes, here they come, bear- ing down on the finish line,' every dog side by side. It’s so doggoned close that we’ll have to wait until our photographer gets the film developed before we can tell you the results of the race. After that race I’m sure that everyone is dog-tired but just keep your seats and we’ll have some entertainment while we wait. I’ll be back shortly with the results.” While we wait we can watch Jim Orton and Bob Olson perform on the trapeze. Rosa belle Revier is that bareback rider in the center of the field. (Just like her famous ancestor, Paul, I guess.) As we look into the stands we see Dorothy Draeger, Lila Davis, Lucille Watkins. Jean Evans, and JoAnn Lamberton taking Lawrence Paluck into Blair’s darkroom to help develop pictures, I guess. Louis Anderson over on the south end is trying to teach Ruth Nusbaum and Jo Lechner how to speak German but Ruth would rather learn French to go with her new bathing suit and Jo would rather learn how to speak Bikini. There’s Krink Parsons, the famous reporter for the Applejack Press. His originality in writing Eng- lish themes has begun to pay dividends. There’s certainly nothing more original than a reporter; they can make up anything for their columns. I see that our married couples are here— the Tordsens, Marquapdts, and Mrs. Meiers, known as Ruby Kletscher during her high school days. Marilyn Hawton, Delores Eichten and Donna Simondet are out scouting for a man but they de- cide that they might as well settle for Denny Stoffel, and since there are three of them and one of him, they decide to flip for him. Delores lost— so she has to take Denny. Miloyd Dolezal and Wayne Jackson have been shaking hands for the last hour and a half to see which one has the strongest grip—Miloyd has the larger hands but Wayne has the muscle bound ones (believe me). Now back to our announcer. Bob Aufenthie, who will tell is the outcome of today’s race and give us a description of the awarding of the covet- ed Dixie Cup. “My frands and you are my frands, today you have witnessed some keen competition in the sport cf dog racing. No doubt you are eagerly awaiting to hear who won, so I will now tell you the results. Our photographer was holding his finger over the lens as he took the picture, (We’re gonna miss him around here!) So now there’ll have to be some changes made in the usual procedure. It was so close that we can’t tell who won; therefore, we’ll have to award every dog that crossed the finish line the first prize trophy—the well known Dixie Cup. As the coaches come forward to receive their prizes we can see a beam of happiness and pride light up each and every countenance, for every man and dog was truly a winner. Certainly, sportsdogship and competition stimulate a mutt’s ambition. As each little “man’s-best-friend” follows his master out of the stadium we can see tears in the eyes of the spectators as they realize that it will be another full year before the next Red Dog deg race. So until next year at this time this is Bob Aufenthie bidding ah resorvoir and adieu, as they say in Latin.” As we pull away from the stadium, our hearts are filled with remorse that the day ended so quickly and we eagerly await next year’s Dog Days festivities.

Prophecy HOWDIE SPORTS FANS! Today marks the be- ginning of Dog Days, which is Red Dog Gulch’s week-long holiday or should I say holiweek, which is equal only to April Fool’s Day for entertain- ment. This week everything and everybody goes to the dogs. In a short time the well remembered dog races will begin. It’s the most exciting event that ever touched the gutters of Red Dog Gulch. Bets can be placed at Wendt’s Recreation Parlor or at the betting booths at the stadium, however, Tony gives better odds. Tony’s also run- ning a part time auto-wrecking service these days. Let’s look over the line-ups for today’s races. Laurie Slocum, coach of Red Dog Kennels, has one of the top canines in his possession named Rusty Chuck Burmeister, a free-lance coach, has quite a mongrel, still, Lady is considered a good runner although she is a dark-horse or perhaps a dark- dog. Etlar Johnson’s dog, Duke, locks like he’s in excellent shape; and Bob Gray’s cur, Wolf, will certainly be a leading contender. Coach Royce Russell’s mutt Jeff (Mutt Jeff, get it?) will cer- Uinly do his best to win the cup. Coaches Ronnie Skillman and Kelly have been ruthless competitors for many years and their dogs Satan and Angel will likely as not have a fight before the end of the race. That huge red monster is Jack Smith’s dog Although slightly flea-bitten he’ll still be in there fighting. Last but not least is John Breckenridge’s dog, Curley, who looks like a good racer. We notice that the tellers in the betting booths are all ex-math students. Leora Kremin, Jo Ann Andersen, and Art Henderson are really taking in the dough. At the nearby concession stand we see Lerv Jones and Ambrose Kahnke, who.are work- ing there, selling beer to Phyllis McCorquodale and Gloria Elliott. That’s strange because Lerv and Ambrose are usually on the other side of the bar. On the program it says that during the inter- mission we will have vocal refrains by Doris Peters and the small town A1 Jolson. Bill Hillger. Doris will sing ‘Abba Dabba Dabba” and Bill will sing “9 243,516 Bottles of Beer Hangin’ on the Wall.” As we eagerly await the start of the races we see Pudge Fisher’s all-drum orchestra playing “We Rapp Resent ’ with Bill Henke as solo drummer. We notice several of our loyal alumni, namely Tom Dwyer and Arlin Krueger, throwing tomatoes at the orchestra. (Legend has it that Tom’s and Arlin’s all- brass orchestra lost the contract to Pudge Fisher, and they’re pocr losers ) Next on the pre-race entertainment is the juggling team of Doug Kam- holz and Arlene Castle. I guess Arlene has Doug pretty well reformed to keep him in training. It says on the program that Blair Bjerke will take care of any possible photo-finish. JoAnn Brandt recently became Blair’s assistant because Blair needed flashlight batteries for his camera’s flashgun and JoAnn was everready. We’ll switch over to Bob Aufenthie now who is today’s announcer. He deesn’t need a public address system, he just shouts.
