this great pastime and at one and |
the same ..imc Il proves convulslve-
ly and beyond the shadows OF n doubt
that these Atlas birds has got the

about them winnin the first game I'm
the serious incidentally these here
Atlas birds gets swete revenge for
all them years that Hercules gives

have repeatedly sed YOU cant bette the
teem that gets the most runs. I will

there hest to make an intercstin and
close game on account Of the large
crowd of cash customers that vuz ON
