That's Joe Neuman and buddies during 1910.

Fritz is on the right with  solemn expression. 

Peanuts, hot dogs were staples at Baseball games.

But baseball was not the only game in town.
 
The youth became affilited with  the Sokol Gymnasts Group

They delighted crowds with daring acrobatics and feats

as they grew  brawn and reached adulthood.

At a quick glance,

Their physiques changed from 1910 through 1927.

Personaility evidenced by facial expression remained  the same.

The wonders of time with photography feature matured Joe and Fritz

to his right - still his 'right hand man'.

THE STORY Of THE MAGIC RING

Joe was a inspiration for my

Green  Ring Logo. He was a Master Mason

The Masonic Order (Masons) during time of need communicated with display of their ruby red rings.

Ruby red with compass and square insignia.

At the height of their power Masons could get position ,charity and even a bank loan

with  Lodge connections and the flash of the Masonic Ring.

I needed a location for my gym. Locations for gyms were hard to get because Landlords did

not take the business model serious. Joe went on a crusade, flashing his jeweled finger to landlords on

my behalf. We got our location. Joe as competitive as he was ,became my first Black Belt in

Martial Arts. That's what we gave him . He gave us inspiration with his Masonry.
