Fitzpatrick and I took a bus and went downtown. We walked over to In-
dependence Hall and were looking in the window when the night watchman

came out to investigate use He then took us in and opened up the rooms

to use We saw the Liberty Bell, the first Supreme Court chamber, the

room where the Declaration of Independence was signed, etce The watchman
was really swell and showed us all around the building. He then told us how
to reach Betsy Ross's home. We took this in and then went down to the piers;
took a subway back to the hotel, and went to bed about 2 aem."

Bill Forsyth: "Sunday, Dece 27. New York. The station ws very
crowdede We shoved and pushed with all our bags and finally managed to get
up to the street where we all took a street car, taking it over just as we
did the buse We went up 42nd street to Times Square, turned into it and
on down near Madison Square Garden and then walked over to the Hotel
Belevedere which is directly south of the Garden where we are stayinge All
the street lights are blacked oute The stop and go signs have only a little
light shining out of them. It is often hard to see ite The cars have their
lights dimmed wey down lowe Instead of the New York City with all its
lights, it seems as if it was Medicine Lodge, Kansas, at 3 o'clock in the
morning, except the people are running around pushing and shoving, just
like ants."

Max Kissell: "Thursday, Dece 246 Detroit. Jack and I ate dinner dom
in the coffee shop of the hotel and then started out without anything in
particular in mind. After walking around town for a while we came upon a
spot which said 'Catch bus here for Canada', We decided to go over so we
caught the next bus through the Windsor tunnel under the Detroit River to
Windsor, Canada. We had no trouble getting through the custom officials so
we started our way down the min street of Windsor. There were hardly any
lights on the main street, or any place else in this town. We stopped in
several drug stores and curio shops for souvenirs and finally settled down
in a small cafe to write some postcards. There were quite a few little
French girls who were cute as heck. They got a big kick out of Jadr's
southern accent and especially his height."

Ray Evans: “Dec. 25. Believe it or not its Christmas. We left for
Buffalo at 8:15 this morning and we crossed over to Canada to ride down
to Buffalo. Buescher entertained us with his radio on the train wmtil
it ran out of juice. Before breakfast the players presented Nesmith with
a present (billfold) to show their appreciation for all the things he has
done for the team -= a true friend of the players if there ever was onee «
e « e There goes someme yelling again with the hot-foote Don't dare go
to sleep on the train with these boys because you will sure get the old
hot-foote As Kissell puts it - it is now getting so that the boys will
put a half nelson on you to give you the hot foot. Short just got the
hot foot and that was the hottest hot foot on the trip so far - four matches
at the same timee « « « «

"Dec. 28. The crowd at the game tonight showed wonderful spirit and

to see New York and if you ask me they really saw ite . . « e
