When we get to the Pest G _ : me they let it in the free customers, the bill is fourteen dollars and a haluf “a Pretty soon we are in the Pest Box down by the wire, where the baseballers j starting to prectice. A fresh feller comes up to me and he esks me what pa Tl ie with. I told him I was with them all and not against any of them on joupait" I wal to be nice and friendly. Then he says: “‘ You got to beat it.” _I looked at the sporting editor feller, but he was asleep and maybe letting his brains have a rest so he would have it a good inspirationing to write it a piece for the paper. I shook him, but he wouldn’t wake up, and pretty soon comes it a politzman who says: “ Outside, you.” I wouldn’t give him no argerment, so I went outside and I looked in my pocket so I could buy it a ticket to see the baseballing, but I never had a dime left. Before I started I had eighty-seven dollars and a halul. Then I went up to the feller which is selling tickets to the cesh customers and I esked him how much was it a ticket. “ With the war texes and everything inclusioned it is one dollar and ten cents,” he told me. Then I started to edd up all the expenses, and I came to the conclusion that a free pass was not a good business. I spend it eighty-seven dollars and a haluf for a free pass and I don’t even see the baseballing when I could have got in for a dollar ten cesh money. Ain’t that a good proof that cesh is the best way to do business, even you don’t get no discount? So that is why I hit Moe Koenigsberg a smesh in the eye. A feller that thinks I would take it a free pass eny more is giving me a insult, because only a feller who is pretty dumb would take it a free pass to anything. Passes is nix with me from that time on no matter who is giving them out. When you get something for nothing you would find out that it is nothing at all that the feller who gave it to you for nothing - would got something when you wasn’t thinking. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS Jacos E—Sure, it is true that I am out of Harward Uniwersity. I was thrown ut from there when I was taking photografts of the footballing.
