service with the old St. Louls

“Chris’ order on the tailor read some-
thing like this:
“*Give to Arlie der tings

“Latham didn't do a thing on the
strength of that order but replenish
his wardrobe. For three davs in sue-
cession he showed up at the ball park
in a fine makeup, and every suit of
clothes was brand new. On the fourth
day Chris got a bill from the clothing
people for £100, Naturally he sent for
Latham and demanded an explanation,
“ ‘Why, Chris, old pal’ sald ‘Lath’
