Rich and gaudy is the variety of choice
adages that can be worked off on that
game. Considering that the Colts have
not won game in IL bunch of centuries,

Following this chain of reasoning and
admitting that the management has
frightened the Colts TO death by hiring
new players. it might be said that ii new

Anyhow, the Colts murdered the Reds.
They didn't leave enough of them TO make

Comiskey would froth at the mouth like a

the seventh inning, with two men out, a
man on third. and Que on second, SpartacuS
McPhee struck softly out thrice into the
tender twilight and adjourned, Comiskey
came mighty near having hemorrhage OF

This was sort of running the thing in
