Show STANDARD CARRIERS ID OTHER BOYS Oil (II Never a hitch from start to finish In the carriers' picnic. There were fifty youngsters loaded on the immense im-mense Ogden Packing company truck and Hewlitt's transfer truck. They gave three loud whoops and started on their journey for Salt Lake at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Some one rocked the boat, causing Miles to sit very ungraciously and suddenly on one of the peach pies. Then the driver announced that there was a fllver stuck sideways in the sand ahead and willing hands picked the little thing up and carried it speedily speed-ily back to the roadbed. Then came some towns, some noise and some bumps and the boys found themselves at Wandamere park In Salt Lake. Immediately Berny Hutchison went over and started an argument with the six ostriches in the motor dome and baseball grounds. Berny wanted the right of way over the ostriches, but they could not be persuaded into seeing their hunting grounds invaded and refused to listen to the convincing convinc-ing and foreful arguments, which Berny laid down. This caused Berny to beat a hasty retreat and all gathered gath-ered on the baseball field to watch the Pilgrims play the Pirates. That is, someone said that the Pilgrims would play the Pirates, but the fact was (hat the Pirates played the Pilgrims, Pil-grims, which ended when the Pirates had nine runs and the Pilgrims five. Someone said that some three-legged creatures were lining up for a race. But they had already started before anyone know just what had happened. happen-ed. Some of the strango animals persisted per-sisted in trying to reach tho goal by sliding- on their faces. The judge refused re-fused to permit this unfair competition competi-tion and awarded an H. C. Hansen knife to Ray Adams and a Watson Flygaro knife to Henry Bond. This brought about an announcement that dinner was ready. It is difficult to decide just where to start when someone some-one keep? offering you all the sandwiches, sand-wiches, pickles, olives, peaches, bananas, ba-nanas, candy, Ice cream and cake you can eat. But the ice cream was the main attraction. A five-gallon freezer freez-er of delicious lco cream, which was donated by tho Whipple Ice Crcnm company, was raided time and time again, but It stood tho test. ' What was that noise? 0, yes! Herman Jansen had ripped his pants on tho shoot-thc-chutes. But what havo wo now? Six human scoop shovels were each trying to digest half of a Wheeler mince pio in the shortest possible time. Tho rules were that they keep their hands in back of them and the first one that whistled after his pie was eaten was to be "exhausted ruler." Johnny Darling finished threo full lengths ahead of any other boy, but some of the pie started to slip out of his mouth and he used his fingers to put it back. Ho was disqualified. Then tho race ensued between Roy Lauck and Tom Evans. Evans had a lead of one bite and a half and finished that far ahead of Lauck. But, lo, and behold! be-hold! Ho could not whistle! Lauck f'ulshed and with supreme exertion he forced a faint sound to escape from his lips which everybody said was a whistle. This gave Lauck tho flashlight, flash-light, which was donated by the Proudflt Sporting Goods company. Then all the boys made teams of four and participated In a relay lace which ended near the swimming pool and all made a bee-line for the dressing room. There were five entries in the swimming swim-ming rac. The race resulted in Goody connecting with a Browning Bros, watch as first prize, and Berny Hutchison with a large Koldewyn pocket knife as second prize. But is was getting late and thnro were a number of watermelons just waiting to bo eaten, also plenty of ice cream. All gathered around and, after af-ter getting just as much watermelon and ice cream as could be contained in the overworked stomaches, they lifted anchor and headed for Ogden. Mid-day en route there came a raid on the weinies which the' Independent Meat market had nodated for the occasion. oc-casion. Then after being fed into submission, sub-mission, tho crowd became musical. It went to such an extent that Sam Ad-dleson Ad-dleson endeavored lo render a moon, light sonata in high G but the rest of tho boys woudl not stand for it and made Sammy ride in the other truck alone. The machines rolled into Ogden at 9:30 p. m. and drove to The Standard office, where the boys were again fed ice cream and weinies. The Standard wishes to thank the Ogden Packing company, the Whipple Ice Cream company, the Independent Meat market, the Koldewyn Bicycle company, tho Proudfit Sporting Goods company, Fred M. Nye company, H. C. Hansen Bicycle company, Browning Bros, company and Watson-Tanner company for their co-operation in making the boys' outing such a success. |
