Show H George Kreitlein, an Indianapolis H business man, is self-made and suc- H cessful. His gun club decided to hold H an open trap shoot, and it was an- H nounced that all entries must be in H before G o'clock Wednesday evening. H About 8 o'clock in the evening the H club's telephone bell rang, and a H voice on the other end of the 'phone H said: "I desire to speak to the head H of the shoot committee." Kreitlein H happened to be near and he answered M the 'phone. "The head of the shoot H committee is speaking," he said. H "What can I do for you?" "This is H John Astorbilt Jones Yale, '98," H said the voice. "Yes." "I'd like to en- H ter your tournament," said the voice. H "Sorry," said Kreitlein, ""entry list aM closed at G o'clock." "But," said the H voice, "I'm sure you'll make an excep- H tion in my case." "Can't be done." B "Can't be done," repeated the voice. j "I don't think you quite understand H who I am) I'm John Astorbilt Jones H Yale, '98." "And this," was the re- H ply, "I'm George Kreitlein night H school, 'G7 and I say it can't be H done." San Francisco Argonaut. |
