ALIBI FOR NEXT YEAR
Giants and sox viii Have Plenty at
Close Of Next season-suf-
fragette Golfers
Wins.

by Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.l
The bleak and dreary days have come
and bring the story near,
OF how we might have won the race
and not brought up the rear.
AS each enthralling tale unfolds, the
story CLOVIS anew.
OF how the boys failed in the pinch,
OF how they slipped down inch by
inch
And every single mothers son
is telling how we might have won.
The pitchers started with whoop, the
batting crew was there,
But then approached the dark'nine
days of deep and dull despair.
AS each enthralling tale unfolds, the
story CLOVIS anew,
OF how the pitchers arms went lame
OF how the batters slumped and
tanned;
And every single mothers son
Is telling how we might have won.
Sad tales be these of blasted hopes
and plans that went astray,
But breaking in upon the gloom there
comes a shining ray.
AS each enthralling tale unfolds, the
story glows anew,
OF how phenom has been found,
Of how next year will roll around;
And bring to every mothers son
The punch that kills the Mighthave
won.
