men who handle your baggage as a
cheap-skate-a man who won't come

The head porter of local hotel one
day recently carefully picked his way
through a confusion of commercial
trunks in the baggage room. The por-
ter gave them all a keen glance and
finally found the one he wanted.
Drawing a stubby piece of blue chalk
from his pocket he scratched it
across the end of the piece of bag

inches in length

at least one seasons good work, when
he ran into Belt one day. Belt was
managing the Jacksonville team of
the Kitty league at that time.
Kinsella explained his deal with
Mattoon to Belt and asked his opin-
