Joe Dugan says that the heat always
Hicks him Rising temperatures make him
do and say things that he's sorry for.
Sometimes he gets relief in oratory. Often
the heat makes him denunciatory. 1t af-
fected him in this way when he saw a
nattily dressed man putting a cigar while
he was getting his shoes shined near I'd
and Christian streets.
Shaking his finger under the stranger
nose, Joe shouted, IT'S extravagant guys
like you who won't shine your shoes and
smoke fancy cigars that makes money short.
