Ike is solid with the gang now, Joe,
but when he first Joined the club he was
about as welcome as rheumatism to "A
Clog dancer, They was quite a few
reasons for this, some of which Ike
caused himself and some of which he
didn't Naturally. Joe. the guy whicn
led the offensive against Ike was no less
than Watson, which knowed Ike was
gonna get his Job and liked him accor-
dIniy. The things that baby put over
on Ike would Of made anybody on earth
ouit-but Ike. They wasn't a minute OF
the day that Watson wasn't tryin' out
somethln' new to grab Ike's goat, but
with all Of that he was about as sue
cessful as II he was Congress and try
what come off. Ike would just grin and
let II go at that and pretty soon they
was few guys connected with the club
that didn think Ike was yellah. Joe.

Ike and get away with IL.

slammin' the pill into the stands when
they was runners on the bags.
As soon as work was over for the
day he'd beat II to his room at the hotel
and nobody ever seen him til the next
afternoon.

willin'ness that he would of give up Ike,
yet he never said a pleasant word to

worse. | never seen him spend IL
dime, and he'd argy all day over

Reds Cross five bucks apiece, Ike comes
through with twenty-five. He always
mad a roll on him which would CHOKE
whole stable full of horses; and It
wasn't long before everybody on the
Siuo owed him dough. He'd lend any
pody anything--at 10 per cent interest
shd a promissory note that the United
states Supreme Court couldn't bust, for
security.
Joe, they is no quicker way on earth
