SPORTS ANNOUNCEMENTS ruder this heading we list for you the major details of several very interesting sports announcements received recently. Commencing on February 18th, and continuing until the 23rd, there is to be the Fourth Annual International Golf Show at the Grand Central Palace. Everything that even the most fastidious golfer would want, or want to know will be obtainable there: and even Joe Kirkwood, trick Australian golfer, will be there will his bag of mashie and niblick wonders, and will drive a ball off your watch glass — if you let him. For the non-golfers there will also be exhibits in archery, polo, tennis, aquatic sports and trap-shooting. (That last sport is trap shooting, not craps shooting.) Tickets at 50 cents (half of door admission price) obtainable from C. A. Beute. Those interested in bowling will be glad to learn that Joe J.

Scribe) , Thanks to the splendid efforts of our ' Entertainment Committee, a large gathering of Pepsters disported themselves with great glee at the Christmas party on the j twenty-si.xtb floor on Saturday afternoon, I December 29. (This event would have been reported in last issue, but for the fact that the is:>ue came out as a Christmas number ! several days in advance.) Nothing was lacking to make the affair go over in great style. The syncopated melodies of Caruso’s Orchestra fairly compelled even the most sluggish feet to trip lightly over the floor. One of the most enjoyable features of the afternoon was the vaudeville program. Joe Miller of the Long Island Record Room entertained b} singing "Sunin Boy." To Publix we were indebted for some fine tenor solos by Ross McLean and the contortions of Miss Wenona. Bob Stanley and Miss Barbara Vernon, both from “A Night in Spain" were also greath" appreciated by the assembled Pepsters. AIcCartby and Stenard put on an e.xtremely amusing sketch entitled ‘‘Man j Versus Woman”, and as a fitting conclusion j to a delightful program, Billy JJunham and Jack I'reeman contributed songs. Our own inimitible announcer, E. A. ! Brown presided over the festivities, and led 1 the cheering for all the performers. To merely record the happy events of the afternoon is far from sufficient. In fact, we cannot consider the matter ended until i acknowledgment has been made to our tire j less Entertainment Committee, and es j pecially to Chairman J. E. McDermott and ' bis able helpers Bill Mcllvain and Sam Rheiner, whose great efforts resulted in such an enjoyable time for the members. NOTES FROM THE SALES STATISTICS DEPARTMENT The project sponsored by Flelen W. Swayne, chairman of the Educational Committee, got under way with many manifestations of seriousness and insiriration. I'he whole department is now learning Coniptometry and we expect a shortage of figures to work on very soon. Of course, everybody is after the prizes. Latest advices have it that Murrell, Belucci, Rappoport and Gentile are leading the race. This must be true, as they say so themselves. Amy Press experienced a little difficulty in trying to find where the tape came out, but our able tutors from the Felt and Tarrant Co. soon adjusted her trouble. iMiss Bregmann was very quiet. She decided not to discourage the rest of the class by letting them know she was going to win the prize. Miss Hicks, who sprained her finger after several attempts to break the machine, announced that she will be content with the knowledge acquired in the school and will let someone else win the prize she might otherwise have won.
