lie in the bed he made for himself
There have been TumOrs from the
Pacific Coast that Hal was not $50 en-
amored Of the business out there and
would listen to ovcrturcs from the big

that II Bill got the chance 10 become a
manager there would be no opposition
from Boston.

that E.bbets VIII have 10 come over with
something better than Phil Lewis in ax-
