A Pie-Eating Contest
How Jim and Guy did vie to eat the most apple pie! They ate as though
it were do or die, for neither wanted to lose or tie. Regardless of how
hard Jim did try, he couldn't top the ninety-nine pieces eaten by Guy.

a•tro•cious lie!

The scribe reports that the pitcher has "thrown" the game
for the Tribe. He says, "Ed Kyb grew tired of the fans jibe,
