THEN WE DREW another bye.
3 teams were left when we returned from the drug store and I
went out and took a couple of rolls of film. We started to draw
for another bye but the other 2 teams wouldn’t let us odd-man
out. We felt a little gypped but played the loser of the odd-man
deal anyway. Besides, we felt we needed the practice now that
we were beginning to get the hang of things.
Next opponents were 2 gents from McKinney. “They may
well be Collin County’s best,” some vaunted expert told us.
Rumor even was that they made a living playing dominoes
which isn’t even legal in Allen since you have to gamble to do
it. Anyway, they were easy marks. We learned that 6 and 4
makes 2 marks and that Il’s and 14’s don’t count in dominoes.
We won 3 of 4.

we tried to lose as fast as possible. It didn’t take long, even
though we won the second game in spite of all we could do.
At last the torture was over. Butler-Miller were crowned
champs.
But domino players beware. Tim and your scribe already are
plotting how to take away the title come next Centennial. First
of all, we’re going to study up on all the rules so we’ll know if
our opponents are really making all the count they say they
make. Then we’re going into that domino parlor wearing
oxygen masks—and beat the socks offen every blasted one of
’em.

WE WUZ ROBBED.
Most weird experience your scribe had in the Centennial was
taking part in the domino contests. I hadn’t played since about
the age of 13 and partner Tim Cundiff reportedly is Allen’s
worst domino player with the possible exception of John
Cashion.
So the old pros snickered when we greenhorns walked in with
our beards and overalls to compete for the genuine world
champeenship of Allen. Little beknowns to them that our first
competition, which we hand picked off the streets, would turn
out to be the toughest competition.
Clarence Swain, a recent import from Virginia who came to
Texas and bought out Strong Carpets, had never set down to a
domino game in all his life. When Buster Pendergrass refused
to join Clarence, Mickey Pierson arrived. We tugged him to the
table. If he had ever known how to play, he’d since forgotten.
Anyway, these chaps played us a tight match while we
learned that you’re supposed to play 3’s on 3’s and 4’s on 4’s.
Then we drew a bye and got a free ride up to the next opponent.
Henry Hedgcoxe and a local chap named Stratton were next
on our list. We were warned that they were Allen’s best. Fred
Day couldn’t believe the Cundiff-Camper team didn’t forfeit to
save embarrasement. But we were too ignorant to be
embarrased. After we learned that the double 5 makes 2 marks
when you play it first, we thrashed them 3 games out of 4.

Allen School
The housewife of the eighteenth century was obliged to sit at
her spinning wheel turning flax into yarn, weave the yarn into
cloth on a loom, dye it in a kettle and laboriously fashion
clothes for herself and her family. The making of a single dress,
by these limited methods, would take a woman fifty-six hours,
and she had to plan it for sixteen months in advance.
Fortunately, Whitney’s device made it possible to use the
short-staple cotton that grew in the South, and made it available
to everyone. In ten years following its introduction, annual
cotton production in this country jumped from five million to
fifty million pounds. Arkwright’s and Hargreaves’ inventions
took the chore of spinning and weaving cloth out of the home,
and laid the foundation for the great modern textile industry.
This released women from one of their most time consuming and
fatiguing efforts.

Buddy you are slipping. Of
all times for me to miss my
copy of the Allen American. It
had to be the Centennial copy.
I do hope you have one for me.
I want to keep it as a
souvenir.
I enjoy your paper so much.
It is the only way we can keep
up with what is happening in
the old home town.
And since my subscription
will be out Sept. 1. I am
enclosing my check for $5.00
for a renewal.
Keep up the good work and
don’t ever let Laverne quit
writing for the paper.
