Description
The Ambrosian
but in the "dago" section the dispensers peddled
dago red bananas, and garlick drops.
To relieve the monotony of waiting, music was
furnished by Cleopatra's Snappy Six, King Kole's
Raggin' Fools, Sousa's Band, U. S. Marine Band,
Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra, the Salvation Army
Hooperups, the Patch Jazzbos, and the S. A. C.
Ragomaniacs composed of Bush, Lucier, DeClerk,
DeCressy, Janney, Gannon, and Green.
Run your orbs over the long list of ring-siders on
the Modern's side of the stadium. Seated there
wrere "Babe" Ruth; Ben Turpin; Charlie Chaplin;
George Washington; Wm. Taft; "Teddy" Roosevelt ; Marshal Foch; that famous has-been ex-Kaiser
Wilhelm, who shared his chained and locked cage
with the Clown Prince and Old Nick, himself;
President Harding, on another vacation holiday
which the strenuous work of signing three papers
forced him to take; Al Jolson; Bebe Daniels; Min Gump, accompanied by little Chester and Uncle Bim; Kernel and Mrs. Cootie; Henry Ford, who made walking such a
pleasure; Theda Bara; Mark Twain; Thomas O'Connor; Carrie Nation, brandishing
her hatchet; Jiggs and Maggie Mahoney; Charles Schwab; Mary Pickford; Hazel
Keener; Pancho Villa, with a six-shooter in each hand and a mouthful of knives;
Mack Sennet and his bathing girls; O. Henry; Sheerluck Bones (ahem! Watson) ;
Honest "Abe" Lincoln; Stonewall and "Willie" Jackson; Judge Shaughnessy, who had
bet his iron hat and his famous three-floor barber shop on the game; Rudolph Valentino, whose raven locks were plastered against his shapely head with seventeen dollars
and sixty cents worth of hair oil; Hart Schaffner and Marx; Cash and Carry; Sears
and Roebuck; Cluett and Peabody, looking rather spiffy in their low cut collars ;
Toto, the Davenport Ironman; "Bozo" Snyder; Barnum and Bailey; Ringling Bros.;
B. J. Palmer, president of the anti-barber fraternity; Uncle Tom; Lillian Gish; Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde (and that Mr. Hyde is some cute kid, is he not?) ; Terrence
McSwiney, after whom our dining hall was named; Blackhawk; Likum Hootch ;
Sitting Bull; Betcha Jack; the Smith Brothers (Trade and Mark) ; Professor Hopkins; Wm. J. Bryan, ace of the also rans; Vitus Marsden, the Memphis Wildcat,
accompanied by Lily and Lady Luck; Fang Lardner; Trotzky; and gobs and mobs of
others, too numerous to mention. Organized bodies were
also represented there. Prominent amongst them were
Coxey's Army; K. of C.'s; G. A. R.'s; Davenport Shamrocks ; Patch Harps; Elks; American Legion; Moose; A. O.
H.'s; Bootleggers Fraternity; I. W. W.'s; and the Holy
Rollers.
Right in the center of the stadium, parked row on row,
were the maroon and pink sweatered rooters (a mean combination) of the leather-lunged rah rah boys picked from
Yale, Ames, California, Notre Dame, Iowa, Illinois, West
Point, Holy Cross, International Correspondence School
and the Connecticut School of Weights and Measures.
These rootin' fools were led by Ray and Raw, Denver U. ;
Horn, Dartmouth; and Hail, Columbia. The contortions
of these seemingly spineless youths amused the ancient people
almost as much as the weird yells of Hitchy Koo Koo, Who
waw waw, Bimbo, Bamboo, Raw Raw Raw, etc.
Now let's have a lamp at the list of fans and fannettes
