and saved the house from total wreck
age.
There are many complaints AGAR
this year from wheelmen whose tires
have been punctured with pins o.
tacks. Some contemplate towards art
maiciously damaging wheels in any
way they find convenient, and among
other things strew tacks on crossing
where they will be most likely to sticl
into tires.

Duffie; short stop, Brien; 3rd base
