At least there are several hundred

To begin with. Bill ought to know
something about the American league.
He has been connected with it prac-
tically ever since IL was born. and as
far back as 1908. when the JOhnsonian
circuit enjoyed the highest little race
OF its career. Bill was in there Juggling
at his cap and hitching up mis- belt. and
he played a prominent part in deciding
that race. But let Bill tell il him

Last wear we had n grand HttIe
