what the champion PosT-INTELLIeEScER

"P-I. day at the Interstate fair was out

there is of Tacoma The pie-eating con-
test was all write. Tacoma says they had
the champion pie-ester for long time,
but they can't say they have got il now.
Dubsy, the ex-champiop, was hraging
about eating pie as If he was the oniv boy
who could eat pie. He tried to bluff me
out, but his bluff could not work, so l
thought I'd eat PIE. / will chalnge any
boy in the world to eat pie. Dubsy say he
won four and he expected to win this one,
but his mouth wouldn't take in the pie
quick enough, SO jeste downed the pie
like everything. The kids kept pounding
me on the back or / would eat the other
pie that was by me. The kids would not
keep away. so 1 picked up the pie and
made them scatter. Every one in Tacoma
was surprise about me eating the pie.
They thought Dubsy would win the suit

Much dissatisfaction is felt among the
Tacoma pie-biters. Dubsey. the star entry
of the Tacoma PosT-INTgLLIGEscERb bureau,
is loud in his accusations of unfairness.
He claims that the timekeeper was fixed.
and predicts that he will ''sport new pair
OF breeches" shortly and asks. if he should,
that an investigation be made and prom
ises sensational developments. In fact,
Dubsey thinks, and what Dubsey thinks
he says, that the timekeeper is to receive
the pants as remuneration for his services.
The fact that there is a wide difference in
the length of Collins and Beckmsn's or
Belcher's lower lip evidently did not occur
TO Dubsey. A new match is what he
wants, and he doesn't want any spectators
either. Just me and the other kid, and
if can't beat him I'll retire. / can do it,
anyway" Dubsey reads the PosT-IsTEL-

said, II had a square meal and he hadn't
eaten anything for a week. and had been
going around to the bakeries and looking
