He told me when ne came back
from the trip the team was going
on, he would bring me the wrist
watch he had promised. Right in
the beginning he promised me 1
wrist watch, "a real good one !

When I didn't hear from this

Couldn't Get Him on Phone.
When the team came back to
New York I tried to telephone Babe.
but l couldn't get him on the wire.
And then people came and told me
he was going around again with
another girl-the one he used to
tell me about. / couldn't believe it.
And yet-no word from him! And

When I gave my name they said

be all right. That he couldn't go
back on me and let me suffer-

it over myself to the Ansonia Hotel.
