roommate. Billy Zimmerman, standing
on his head and pulling away from the

home before, and everything is new to
him.
After using some of the hotel writing
paper to scribb1e some letters to his
friends, he went down to the night
clerk and offered to pay him for the
paper he used.
Every once in awhile he puts the key
of the room into his pocket and walks
off, leaving Jimmy locked out. He's
afraid to trust the night clerk or the

in a pinch Schultz swung at a bad one
for a third strike. Chance gave
Schultz a raking over the Goals and
criticised him for walloping at a bad
ball.
