12 THE SKIPPER received an invitation from Lou Gehrig to play on his All-American baseball team which will tour the Orient this winter. He replied that he wouldn't go unless the Japanese first bought Steven O'Lear. O' Lear is the only pitcher he can hit. Charles-Hereis a name that's vaguely familiar, Robert Draddy, but I can't recall who he is. Robot-Robert Draddy is editor of the New York Times, now owned by Glen Oberacker.

Charles-Let's hear about more of the girls. Robot-Jean Vorce took a post graduate course in public speaking from Miss Mundie, and then suddenly disappeared from sight. We discovered her last week in deep distress, addressing a Sunday school class on the subject of My Life as an Editor's Sweetheart . Peggy Young passed the collection plate around. Greene-What do you know of Bushardt? Robot-Ed Bushardt, the boy with the glib tongue, is selling refrigerators in Alaska. He says that they're going like hot cakes. At this point Professor Greene,s wife comes in and creates a great com- motion. She is finally quieted and persuaded to listen. Greene-Now, listen, my dear, to just one. What, Mr. Robot, do you know of Margaret Farkas? Robot-Margaret Farkas and Ruth Proseus have been Delaware Park policewomen since they passed their civil service examinations in 1937. Their first arrest was Richard Burg, Latin professorg he had the nerve to read Cicero aloud while strolling along their beat. Mrs. Greene--Oh, isn't it marvelous! Let me ask one. Where's Thelma Townsend? Robot-Thelma Townsend has established a school for journalism in New York City, and is teaching high school girls the art of being good girl-Fridays to Broadway Columnists.

Greene-Wasn't there a fellow named Rubin in the class? fi Robot'-Marvin Rubin and his pal McHenry are now noted physicians. They have established an upside down hospital for upside down stomach cases It's getting fashionable-in fact, almost a fad to have an upside down stomach nowadays-but I suppose it will fade out just as Miniature Golf did. Charles-flocking into Year Bookj Here's the officers' pictures and there are Jean Linklater and Doris Leith, the two smartest girls in the class. Wonder what's become of them? Robot-Jean Linklater and Doris Leith are the proud owners of a polish- ing-up school for debutantes. They polish them up to the tiniest detail- from their manners to the outside of their pocketbooks. Jean and Doris take all that's inside. Greene-Remember Ernie Bodnar-is he still counting money? Robo!-Ernest Bodnar is now a Supreme Court Justice. In his estima- tion, Law as a profession is becoming more noble day by day In fact he ' 1 says that lawyers now are willing to go out and spend your last cent to prove they're right. Charles-Now tell' us about Henry Luszcz? Robot-He and Richard Kaczmarek are well established in the butter and milk business, but the boys had an argument recently and Henry, the senior partner, punished Dick by making him deliver the milk on a long route for a week. Now he's having trouble getting Richard to come back. Methinks a number of young ladies along the route appeal to him. Greene-And how about that girl that wears an everlasting smile? Robot-You must mean Elizabeth Keefe. She is now operating a reducing l par or for women overcome with rotundity. Her motto is vaguely familiar: I'll have my pound of flesh. Charles-I suppose that Frances Parker chosen as the best lookin , - ' g girl of the class, is a sculptors, model or something. Robo!-Frances Parker is starring in Marcus Utzig's Follies, running its eighth consecutive week in New York.

He takes the triplets out in their Burling Larson adjustable perambulator. Mrs. Greene-Ask him about handsome Bill Bibby and Murray Fish. Robot-Bill Bibby has just been elected president of Mexico, because the senoritas liked the wistful look in his eyes. The crease in his pants might have had something to do with it, too. And yesterday's Buxqalo Evening News carried this headline: MURRAY FISH BREAKS NON-STOP FLIGHT RECORD FROM NORTH POLE TO TEXAS. Youthful explorer being trailed by two angry Eskimo parents in dog sledsf' Mrs. Greene-You boys have been hogging the robot. Let's ask him about more girls-for instance-Betty Gleber.

Claurles-Dick, youire going to make a fortune! He sees all, knows all and tells all. And now perhaps he can tell us about Marion Williams. Robot-Vienna dancing masters acclaim Marion as the most graceful dancer of all time, basing their claim on her new dance rage, the Whoopsie- Boom. The dance was discovered quite accidentally by Miss Williams. She slipped on a banana peel and danced swiftly down a flight of stairs. Greene-fTurning a switchj Well-how do you like it, Charlie? Charlie-I've never heard anything like it. Now, all you have to do is to get out a patent for the machine and have it put on street corners for the benefit of the public.
