You see it was this way: The Colts

played rings around them. and tho
players were a lot of dubs who dfdn't

they did more than that.
They put 'em out IN one, two,

scored three run in their half, being
enough to win the game, though they

Just what they did TO us the day be

set the clam-cating contingent looking

heave turned OUT a strike and put
Biondy Anderson on tiptoe wondering
what the next one would be.
