Long Pants (Harry Langdon). The Boy (Harry Langdon) consumes such inflaming literature as "Don Juan," "Great Lovers of History," "When His Love Grew Cold."

Congratulations are in order for him, for the Illinois underworld--in fact for everybody but the people of Chicago...
...next frame. The two point total appeared sufficient to hold off the first team, until a brace of tallies was pushed over in the eighth. After holding the second scoreless for the first half of the ninth, the team A players sewed up the game with another pair of counters...
