For your viewing pleasure-
This (below) is an approximately 3 x 5 inch ad "card" on thin paper, put out in 1926 by the Artisans Company. It honored Jimmy (Good Sport) Dykes with a "Jimmy Dykes Day" diamond pin at Shibe Park, May 22, 1926. Here is something I cut and pasted from Archive.org.-
MAIN LINE ARTISANS
HONOR MEMBER ATHLETES
Dykes, of Ardmore Assembly, Given
Diamond Pin.
Jimmy Dykes, popular third base-
man of the Athletics, was one of the
reasons for Artisans' Day at Shibe
Park last Saturday when the order
honored their two baseball-playing
members, Dykes and Rommel, with
a special celebration.
Dykes is a member of the Main
Line Assembly, meeting at Ardmore,
which is one of the progressive sub-
ordinate bodies of the fraternity.
After the Artisans' band and the
string band, field music and patrol
of St. John's Assembly attending in
uniform, had paraded around the
field, Dykes and Rommel were
called to the home plate where
Charles H. Grakelow, Director of
Public AVelfare in Philadelphia and
a past most excellent master Artisan,
presented the Main Liner with a
diamond pin and the famous pitcher
with a set of silver.
Bertram Smith, most excellent
master Artisan : Allen P. Cox, most
excellent recorder ; John Lipsey,
chairman of the Artisans' extension
committee, and Victor I. Ridenour,
of Narberth, a past most excellent
master Artisan, were among the
prominent members of the order in
attendance.
