Chapter XVIII
Terry Devine wasn't in the box for the Shantytowns. With his head on the seven-up table, he snored on, watched over by the faithful barboy Jack. He still yielded to smoked glass and gave no sign of life. “Curse him!” growled Umpire Mulcahey hoarsely beneath his breath “has he t'run me down? If I thought so, the world is not wide enough to save him from me vengeance.”
