     "Sweety"  started out the afternoon in the hands of "Saweet Johnny" Hensley in his game two but that didn't last very long as "Trooper" Tom Varnell took her for a short visit in his game two. Then along came "Bad Betty" Morehouse in her game three to quickly capture her and repeated the feat twice more in her games six and nine. But that was not to be her final stop as  Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest snatched her away in the next to last hand in her game nine to collect the $14.00 at the end of the afternoon.
