A clown jumped to the ring curbing and made a speech about the wonderful human football, announcing at the same time that the championship game was about to be played. Then they began to play in earnest. Some had slapsticks, others light barrel staves, and with these they began to belabor the human football, each blow being so loud that it could be heard all over the tent.
As they did so they hurled the clowns right and left, standing some of them on their heads and beating them with their clubs, which, in this instance, proved to be slapsticks, that made a great racket. This was a part of the act that the clowns had not arranged. It was a little joke that the owner of the show was playing on them.
Humor with the oysters; wit with the soup; repartee with the entree; brag with the roast; knocks for Whistler and Kipling with the salad; songs with the coffee; the slapsticks with the cordials.

"They are trying for a coalition. Nikish is at the top. A former schoolmaster. The communists under Levine won't come in.
