      "Sweety" was a little more active this evening visiting only four different persons. She waited until game six when J.R. "The Spoiler" Cast finally woke her. And in the very next hand Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest playing "The Spoiler" calmly reached across the table to take her. She held on to her for a couple of games when Susan "Little Red" Hall  claimed her in game eight. Then the same thing happened as "Bad Betty" Morehouse playing "Little Red" in game nine stole her away and kept her to collect the $14.00 from the last 24 Hand Pot.
