Billy has been coming along

tough time getting opponents.
There are few in the light heavy

Lovejoy Can Perform
One Stunt Most
Folks Can't

Eddie Lovejoy, one of Yale's
substitute linemen, not parti-
cularly big, is of powerful and
muscular build. One of the
things he can do is to lie flat
on his stomach and chest, face
to the floor, his arms out
stretched at length beyond his
head, his toes stretched as far
as possisble the other way.
Lots of people can do that, but
wait a moment, there's more
to the act. He then proceeds
to raise himself clear and free
from the floor, fully a-foot.
on the tips of his fingers and
the tips Of his toes. That's
where the stunt comes in as
a feat.

pencils and note pads. Debating
flat indictment against the world
and tributaries, he addressed every
body in particular who had backed
the Yanks and lots who didn't.
Fellow martyrs. 1t is as much
OF a surprise to you as II is to
me. I would have wagered my
last shoestring on them Yanks
and I never wore anything but
a buttoned brogan in my life.
It Is an outrageous untruth
that my club thought II was
playing polo. Neither did they
wear handouts on their feet nor
manacies on their wrists.
True, their derbies fit a little
tight. but fly-paper was not used
in losing this series. Absolutely
not! Furthermore the Yanks
haven't got webb-feet nor cold
feet.
The series certainly was fat
and funny. We can hardly real
ize 1t is over. Hardly believe 1t
has started. Some are saying
we didn't. That the Giants
played 1t alone. Now, who eyer
heard of shadow.baseball?
What Is the use Of denying
this kind OF reports? The NOV.
ing pictures prove absolutely that
we were in there all Of the time.
What we were doing nobody
knows, but we were there in
body every second. II not in
brain.
The bankruptcy precipitated by
this Polo Ground disaster is ap-
palling. Ponzi pulled through
though. so / guess I will.
America has not suffered such
a calamity since the Johnstown
flood.
