He' wfo" stS GoSth to 4 cleaners without even the aid of a slingshot. It's one of those adventures that might happen to any-body any-body so let's have Mel dish up all the facts. WpII sir. Mel says he had a girl out in Coney Island one summer and it used to be pretty late when he took her home and then got back to Brooklyn where he lived. That s why he boarded a Park Row elevated train at the Surf avenue station one Sunday morning about one-thirty o'clock. Battling a Gang of Roughs. Mel sat down in a corner seat and got all ready to have a nap on the way home, when his big adventure began to happen. Just as Mel got settled, a hilarious party of seven or eight men and two women poured into the car. There were no seats so that gang stood right before Mel and started cutting up. Wham! The first thing they did was to break the glass out of the door. The guard found immediate business in a rear car and the gang of roughs roared. Mel knew there was going to be big doings from then on. Sure enough there was. One big two-hundred-pounder plopped down on Mel's seat and doggoned near broke Mel s right leg. Mel weighed only about one hundred and twenty pounds, but he was mad. He drew up his knees, gave one big shove and landed that big bully smack on the floor. Then things did happen. Mel Was to Be Tossed Off the Platform. That big bruiser took a sock at Mel and announced that he was going to do a swell murdering job if Mel didn't get off at the next stop. That got Mel's Irish ancestry all .stirred up, but he knew he couldn't I li J""HJ un n '" J m i Mel Landed the Big Bully Smack on the Floor. lick that whole crowd.
