PITTSBURGH, Oct. Nick is
feeling well, well, well.
Well, folks, you could knock me
down with q feather and roll me
over with q tooth pick.S I thought
we had the world serum seWed
up like q farmers sock. This has
taught me lesson. After this,
u amt never going to count my
eggs until steal the chickens.
Well wen, well and couple
Iof high hats. II that amt the
cats tonsiIs. / am feeling dizzy,
which means I am normal. 1
thought that we was the world
champions but now, 1 guess we
Is hte world chumps. That Pitts
bugg team came to life and Griff
looks at me like he blamed Old
Nick for using the pulmotor on
the clothing dummy.
Well, Wen. Well. That's all that
can say. After this amt even
going to try to guess nothing but
my own weight
I thought the world serum was
all over last Monday when we was
going like q mill on fire. we had
three games on the table and the
fourth in the kitchen. But we
never figured that the service
would be so bad. After this,
am going to scoff m cafeteria
and then. will be sure Of get
ting what ordered. because ]
win get II myself always eat
in cafeteria. I like the coffee,
like the cinnamon buns, bat the
thing I enjoy eating most is the
check.
never thought this world
serum would go seven games and
pOstpOnement. But it has and
] gotta hand credit to them
Pittsbuggs for being gamer than
flea on q lion. Them boys ID
game and don't let no telephone
central give You the wrong num-
Der.
Them Pittsbuggs is gamer than
a guy doing "a barefoot dance in
a glass factory.
They is gamer than a grasshop-
per trying to splay leap frog on
porcupine's back. They Is gamer
than a bootlegger who drinks his
own stuff. Boys, I'll say that is
game. Well, well, well. / sound
like a well digger. But I cant
help 1t. I'm gasping like the old
lady who, went to see What Price
Glory" They got me dizzy. That
Pittsbugg team was beaten last
Sunday and here they is galloping
around like corpse chasing an
undertaken.
We'll fbarA aIo1t ,,o%k1r~ a. 10
but the age Of miracles amt over.
1t proves that you can't carry
hot rivets in a paper bag. But,
Cont think that Nick Is logging
1t. We is going to win today just
the same. l am going to toss big
Barney back again into that love
nest out in the middle OF the dia-
mond and Walter will bring home
the bacon or kill the butcher.
He is another game guy. He is
got an ankle on him that looks
like a piano leg. When he tries
to walk on 1t he shakes like q
cOrnfield In q Northwestern. But
he is going to pitch and / know
he will be there f O b at the end
Of the game. ! will be out on
the coaching lines and Walter
and me Is the strongest battery i'm
the world.
Right now, we is like a guy
shooting up a dumbwaiter at a
burglar. We can't miss. I'm
sorry that We got to knock them
Pittsbuggs off. as they sure are
game. They played a good, square
game all through the series. But
they is hanging by their nails now
and Walter Will do that little job OF
manicuring that drops them into
the trough. Pittsbugg is a great
team but Johnson Is the greatest.
bet that. Pittsburgg fans will
they is for Pittsbugg. He belongs
to ever city in the United States
