a desk and began to study the

The office assumed that the

about this Jones person. To
their amazement they learned
that he was not even a news

be anything but a bug on

Surely the Old Man wasn't

interest In amateur baseball!
That is exactly what the Old

FINALLY the treasurer of the

smoke, but he could endure the dis
