has been found. A bunch of
st. Paul players journeyed to
Saltwater to play game
against a team made up Of the
inmates Of the Minnesota state

and was highly elated at the
execution he was doing with 1t.
In the showers which the play
ers of both teams took together,
the convict went to the owner
of the bat and said:
Z "Say, pard, 1 would like to
buy that club of yours. I've
been promised trial in the big
sticks when / get out and if
had that bat I'd be optimistic
about my chance of making
good"
"How long are you in for?"
asked the visiting player.
Fifteen years." was the
reply.
Another convict, overhearing
the conversation, growled out Of
the corner of his mouth: "He
is some optimist, you ought to
give him the bat"
The cheerful convict got the
bat.
