BY WAY OF DIVERSION, Say, who's this feller, Baker, who | bas took an’ put the ban on baseball | for the big league guys; who ts this) er man? No ball games fer us! Kids to see!

Since then I've carved it out a lot an’ now this guy must come an’, never think- ir’, take an’ put my knot-hole on the bum. Say, what will all us fellers do without no games to see? Without no plai go at all, a lonesome bunch we'll be. Who is this feller Baker who has clamped the baseball id? I wonder if he's clean fergot that he wus once a kid!
