High diddle-de-diddle,

And some went home as crazy as

The Cats went on their prowl in
the course of yesterdays pastimeing,
eking out five runs while the Pals
toiled for three. The providers also
had what the BIB. scientists call "the
breaks" to which they added much
esprit de corps and towards the wan
ing rounds some sang froid. Mr..
Fishers juvenile spirit was inordi-
nately elated, fate giving him victory
over the great Mr.. Epp.
Several alien athletes, purchased
or leased on the hoof from disinte-
grating bands, contributed potent
factors to the battle, notably among
these being the celebrated Mr.. Son
Brown, of Tampa, who received his
learly tutoring in initiating big
Ileaguers in the stereotype rooms of a
Tampa newspaper. Mr.. Son stereO-
TYPED Mr.. ]. Dempsey in the Lemon
League until he was finally banished
with only two mangled arbiters to
his credit. In our battle he decided
to mangle them en- masse, and his
two hits, one a double base blow
eased the Cats from their tin root
activities.
