Wives of members of the Gridiron Club which sponsors the affair, got together and within the last few years have held a party of similar nature at the White House for Mrs. Roosevelt, with members of the Gridiron Widows putting on a skit to poke fun at wives of leading figures on a 'Rancho 40' skit, with Mrs. Raymond Clapper, wife of Columnist Clapper, cracking the whip as Ringmaster. 1- A couple of dark horses - and Mrs. Farley by proxy. 'Uncle Jim' Farley, holding aloft the message that 'Mrs. Farley scratched,' stands like a [...] colossus over the two dark horses, John L. Lewis and Clark Gable. Mrs. Farley's proxy is Mrs. Ray Henle, Lewis is Mrs. Jim Berryman, and Gable is Mrs. W.F.
