Buffalo hides will not be worth two whoops -down a smokestack in Fort Worth from now on out.

Snyder played the role of victimized hero at Houston. When his team was going great and won the Dixie series, nothing was too good for Pancho. But this year he couldn't get going. The Buffs drew the ap- propriate adjective of "bungling." No cnc had anything for Pancho but a scathing piece of chin music. It all "culminated with Snyder leaving the club.
