BY LEFTY LETTER OF THANKS

Dear, Darling, Kind, Precious, Santa:
 Just before Christmas I write you asking you should give me as a pre- sent another string to equal my re- cord which is 127. There are many who are cynical when I do this and they say to me as follows:
 Doris" they say, it is just a waste of paper and ink to write such a one as Santa. In the first place." they say" 1t is extremely doubtful that such a character ex- ists, and in the second place then as has gets.
 If you are Bozo Dente or Jack White" they tell me, you may ask with complete confidence for a l27 game and Santa will not only sat- isfy your demands but he will also comply with your request.
 But you will never see another 127 game, Doris, they inform me, that first one is just freak of nature like rain in California.
 You have as much chance of get ting a l27 game again." say these dubious ones" as the Italian army has of. winning a battle"
 Which Is why am overjoyed when you comply with my request last Monday although do not ex- pect these dubious ones will be gen. tlemen enough to apoligize. But I am glad that you have proved them wrong and that you have es- abolished your existence beyond any reasonable doubt.
 Some will raise the objection that what I bowl Monday night Is i26 and not l27 and 1t does not. there- fore, tie my record. To these I say that anyone who would bubble over one single measly little pin, one way or the other would steal the pen- nies from q blind mans cup. One single measly little pin is no more than c mere detail.
 Here is how that i20 happens:
