your foot ball expert gets illusions Of

but you won't catch him picking pock-
cts In his spare time.
Foot ball exporting has spoiled
him for the simpler and humber
varieties Of sin.
After this week end. time will hang
very heavy on the hands of us hard

are like penny banks.
It's beneath the arch h-criminars dig
