IN the off-season Jack used to be a
holy terror. I fancy he let out the

and turned loose on all who CHANGED

get into many battle, and, as a rule,
emerged with much credit to himself
and but few marks of trouble.
"One evening was strolling down a
Chicago street-this was some five

some other serious form of kidney
complaint.
