Son Frqncisco Hoo-Hoo Heor Who' Hoppen to the Gionts ond 49ers qt Jonuory Gothering

A "bang-up" Sports Nite feature headlined the regular monthly meeting of San Francisco Hoo-lloo Club 9 at the Leopard Cafe the evening of January 26. A couple of real "guns" from San Francisco's pro grid and plate-49ers guard Ted Connolly and former Giants hurler Gordon Jones (since traded to Baltimore)-put some real dessert on the dinner with the inside scoop on the same subject: 'What happened to the Giants?" "What happened to the Forty-Niners ?"

Jones an{ Connolly, who both appeared through the courtesy_of Falstaff Breweries, proved not only good speakers but darned good guys. Connolly's description of his first encounter with Baltimore's "Big Daddy" Lipscomb had the boys in stitches and Gordon's "3-and-2" mound experiences were real classics of humor.

restore the San Francisco lumber fraternity's somewhat battered faith afte.r the "sudden-death" ending of both the Giants and Forty-Niners in the '59 season.

The meeting got underway at its usual "loosening-up" time, 6:39 p.m. Looseners were with compliments of Union Lumber Company, Wendling-Nathan Co., and Tarter, Webster & Johnson. A full-course prime rib dinner followed the happy hour, with Prexy Ben Ward presiding in the head-table slot. Following dinner, introductions swelled the club treasury a bit and brought to light ther presence of a "stray cat" far from home-Jean L. Morin of J. Oscar Morin, Ltd., Montreal, a guest of Hallinan Mackin Lumber Company.

The meeting gave Club 9 a good strong start into the new year. Other Winter and Spring highlights will include Al Bell's Wood Promotion meeting, February 16; a tour of San Quentin ( !) arranged by Dave Davis ( ?) in March, and the club's annual Dinner-Dance chairmanned bv Charlie White in May.

The boys did themselves proud. and they did a tot to $qn
