Passing over the most tremendous

skipping all minor details, it is a pleas

only did he show the league leaders
where they got off. but he literally
booted them from the steps. After he
had pitched and won the opening game
by a shutout score he rested and
watched Fargo win the second game.
He then demanded that he be allowed
to pitch the third. which he won, and
finished by insisting that he was as
fresh as green paint and must be sent
in a third time on the fourth day. That

excuses.

Cluskey. "If l had that much money

Then, as he saw the look of real dis

he fastened to add: II was only kid

be enough? I'll get it for you tonight"
For a man who could think as fast

never looked beneath the surface, and
when he had formed his opinion of a
