Patsy Gallagher has abdicated the
ranks of the Billers and gone to the
nine-foot mops. He says he has
scrubbed many barn, but o, you stall

stick. hope so, for who knows, some
day he may be checking up imprints.
Patsy says he had an offer Of $50 per
week, but is holding out for $50, and
he wants to finish his Double A edu-

Billers' ranks? We are all asking,
who's next?
Charley Saunders has sure got some
showing this week. You can always

the rest Of the season and that things
are booming there in our business.

Everyone thought that Charlie
Saunders would be little weak after
his sickness, but he came out stronger

Charlie, you got them talking with
their hands backward.
