      "Sweety" was not a whole lot more ambitious tonight visiting only three different persons. She waited until game six for Don "Curly" Russell to pick her up. Along came Susan "Little Red" Hall in her game five to take her for a very short while until "SaweetJohnny" Hensley whisked her away in his game six. He announced again in his game eight that he had a 24 Hand in his crib and held on to her for the rest of the night to collect the $28.00 from the last 24 Hand Pot.

              Carl "The Wizard" Schaefer continued his winning ways, winning his first two game lost the third then winning two more skunking Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest and losing his sixth one but turned it around and won his last three to turn in a 15 Pt 7 W 62 Spread Card to finish in second place tonight.
