A policeman today was explaining
•>ne or the stunts on the program
for the police field meet at Soldier
Field next Saturday, and this is
what he said:
“A cannon fades a mark and
takes it on the lam with the boodle.
’He is tailed by the bulls, duce-cap
pcd, given the weeps by a Niagara
pineapple, and hooked for the rap.”
Translated for the benefit of the
kiddies.
“A gunman holds up a citizen and
runs away with the man's money
He is trailed by police, cornered,
driven from his refuge by tear gas
bombs, and captured for punish
ment.
Fast Thirty Anyhow.
