WHO IS GOING TO BARKER STREET?

Five cabbies have been summoned to pick up five fares at the Belaire Athletic Club. On arrival, they find that their passengers are slightly confused as a result of a 5 way collision playing basketball. Each man has a different first and last name, a different profession, a different destination, and each man’s wife has a different first name. Unable to determine who’s who and who’s going where, the cabbies ask you, the central dispatcher, to find out:

Who is the baker?

What is Burt’s last name?
