— THE CREME COLD WAVE
"OLD MASTERS" at “world’s greatest ait exhibit" all wore horse laughs
Spokane’s Robin Hoods
This band of uninhibited businessmen
gets lots of laughs — and their zany
pranks pay off for the whole community
BY DON EDDY
IN America’s younger days, the robust
and often ribald practical joke was the
favorite form of Yankee humor. Today, in
Spokane, Wash., a group of exuberant, un
inhibited business and professional men are
proving the vigorous old tradition of fron
tier-style satire isn’t dead.
The Knights of the Athletic Round Table,
as they call themselves, are cockeyed Robin
Hoods who, while keeping America chuck
ling at their campaigns against stuffed shirts
and hot air, gleefully rob themselves, but
nobody else, to make the Northwest’s Inland
Empire a better, happier place to live.
Nearly everybody remembers their "Bun
dles For Congress” drive when Congress
men voted themselves pensions a few years
ago. It exploded over the land with such
hilarious howls that Congress hastily
backed down. Not everyone knows, how
ever, that these same pranksters have given
ments or contributions. The Athletic Round
Table has been laughing since 1920, when
sports enthusiasts began lunching together
in the Desert Hotel. Spark plug was a stocky,
black-eyed, sober-faced, pixie-minded attor
ney. Joseph Aloysius Albi. Now 54, he is
the first and only president, and is still
chief gag man.
The club's mascot is a silly-looking wood
en horse named Esmeralda which, like Little
Audrey, just laughs and laughs — a horse
laugh at fakers and folderol.
Lusty Hecklers
Round Tablers always have been lusty
hecklers. The late Vic Desert, hotel owner,
was a favorite victim. Once when he ar
ranged a formal luncheon for a famous
visitor, they stacked the furniture in a
comer, built a campfire on the marble floor
and squatted around it, wrapped in Indian
blankets and eating from a 10-gallon lard
pail.
away $600,000, mostly to youngsters, to
promote clean sport, that they have im
pounded another half million in War Bonds
for future giving.
Etu a Ska Baa
For schools, hospitals, churches and juve
nile groups they build bowling alleys, gym
nasiums, stadiums, swimming pools, tennis
courts, electric scoreboards, floodlights, flag
poles. For everybody, they built a ski run
and lately gave the city land for a new
municipal golf course. Orphanages got pro
fessional uniforms and sports gear by the
carload.
It’s all done with laughs, without assess
E,x-iviayor rreeiand Kendnck of Phila
delphia, visiting Spokane, once innocently
mentioned his “shooting box in Maryland.”
Round Tablers invited him to luncheon,
drew him into conversation about duck
hunting. “How many ducks do you see at
one time in Maryland?” politely asked
President Albi. “Oh,” said the mayor, wav
ing expansively, “hundreds of them!”
Whereupon hundreds of Knights hurled
their napkins into the air, drew shotguns
from beneath tables, whooped joyously and
opened fire. Mr. Kendrick was gun-shy for
months afterwards.
