Dearest Ange,
We defeated Savannah, Georgia tonight 9 to 4. They got 4 runs in the first inning off Sroufe. Sroufe complained he didn't feel well before he went in. After they got those 4 runs, we believed it. Bailey then went in and struck the next 15 out of 18 batters. Only one reached first base and that was by a walk. We played at the Municipal Stadium here. It seats 40,000 people. The people that we had in there, you could hardly see them in the stands. After the game the wanted to play us another game. They said if we played there way they could beat us. They pitch slow down here and they wanted our pitchers to pitch slow so they could hit them. We could have beat them again, slow pitching or no slow pitching but we were too tired to play. We have to jump all the way back to Orlando Fla again, 350 mi. We just came from winter Haven, 395 mi away, last night and will have to go almost all the way back again. Reedy sure keeps us on the jump. Hops like that cost us a lot of money and if it should happen to rain when we get there, we would just be out that much. I hope we won't have to jump back again. well, Ange, I haven't heard from you in two days. I hope you haven't forgotten me. I got a letter from dad today, it was mailed direct to Sav. Georgia. I haven't much more to write about so will close with love and kisses.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I remain Gut Daines Jr.
(Getting ready for bed have to leave here 6:A.M. in morning. Drive all day and play same night.
