As my hand was aching from the blow, and. nqlteeth were chattering from the cold, I happened to glance up, when out of the dark of the night a light appeared.. like the heavenly light that shone so many years ago. This light, like the other, had a beauti- ful radiant red glow, only it flashed on-off proclaiming to the world its worth to humanity. It kept repeating NDotW, WDot Spotn. I climbed into my WHot Roda and off we started. I couldn't go very fast. because of the ton being still uv. It wouldn't have made much difference if it had ripped off, as it wasn't doing me much good. I would have been more com- fortable walking than riding in those conditions,but finally I pulled in to this place called 'Dot Spotn to get a cup of coffee. I walked up to the counter, and who should I see but Dorothy Bright. I asked her what she was doing there and she told me that when Howard Johnson was on his death bed, he had no one to will his business to, so they brought him a telephone book and he pointed to my name, and that is how it came about. I told her my trouble and she sent Joe, a neighboring mechanic out to fix it while I had my pie and coffee. I told her what Phyllis, Jack and I were planning to do, and asked her if she knew where any of the other class members were. She told me she knew that Jim Lingo was President of the Lincoln-Mercury Plant in St. Louis. SotI decided to look him up and I toId her I would report her good fortune to the other members of the class as I traveled a1ong,and hoped she would remain successful in her business. Back on the road again, I turned on the radio to see if I could get some music, when booming through the radio came the announcers voice, Cleveland L, Phil. 7 with 3 on, and Fisher for the Indians at bat. Here is the wind up, and the pitch, Strike! Fisher had 2 strikes followed by 3 balls. The count was 3 and 2, with the bases still loaded in the last half of the ninth. Here comes a drop, crack! There it goes down the third base line, it's going, it's going, it's gone. Just a moment folks, we'll have to call that play back. The ball was foul by inches. Fisher is now trotting in from second and the other base runners are going back to their bases. Again another drop comes in to Fisher, Call strike No. 3, and Cleveland loses A to 7 to Phil. for the first defeat in 57 games. Hearing the results of the game I knew that Don had become successful, not because he lost the game, but because he was pitching for Cleveland. av. .L .mafsffn a 'H.IIiHLlH 5 li.-f fv f Q 'ax Q 'N gy yt ,I u 7 if
