Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 158, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 July 1915 — His Excuse. [ARTICLE]

His Excuse.

In his Savannah camp Bill Donovan, baseball manager, had a dusky hued waiter at the hotel by the name of Sutton. Bill had to reproach Sutton more than once for a lack of agility in arriving with the food. Sutton promised to improve. One morning ho brought in a consignment of griddlecakes that had gone cold. “What do you mean,” said Bill, "by bringing me in cold cakes?" "Well, I tell you, boss.” said Sutton, "I brung them cakes in so fast for you that I guess they hit a draft.”
