She could have been one of the
great democracies of the world.
Gibbons gives us a great many sig

probably, the one most important
reason Rome fell was this: Her

arm crossfire for right-handed
hitters, and better control.

National League pennant race.
His latest victims, the Pitts

secutive victory for Cooper And
those three losses all have been
by only one run.
Adding punch to that record
is the husky stars previous

The majors were kinder, but

The two classic examples Of
