Friday, March 24, 1922

Beautiful, bright, mild day. Arose 7:15 A.M. Breakfast. Out on business in A.M. & P.M. with dinner at noon. Bowled with Church League at night. Took 2 games from A.S.M.E. Our team to Sirkers for feed etc. A.J.O. took all home. To bed 11:45 P.M.

**********
Sirker's was a popular restaurant at the time and a frequently chosen site for banquets, such as the one for Ohio State alumni celebrating Ohio State Day on November 25, 1921, reported in the Ohio State University Monthly, volume 13, excerpted below:

Later that year, June 26, 1922, a jewelry store hold-up man fleeing from police fired at policemen in front of the restaurant. Here is an excerpt from the story in the Jeweler's Circular:

Poor Victor Phoenix! In 1920 he was a 16 year old boy living with his parents and working as a shaper in a brush shop in Troy. Six years later he was a violent thief. Here is an excerpt from the newspaper story the next day that tells a sad tale:

Victor went to prison for his crime, and was still there at the Clinton State Prison at Dannemora in 1930. By 1940, he was no longer in prison, apparently. He died in 1949, according to his grave stone at St. Jean's cemetery in Brunswick, NY, having never married.
