  • 1912: Comiskey hosts Wisconsin hunting trip!
  • Johnson brings expensive new shotgun!
  • Comiskey's cronies get at his shells, replace the...
  • ... lead pellets with wads and Ban can't hit anything!
  • He thinks gun is out of whack, takes it apart!
  • The others ridicule his marksmanship!

    • Johnson never forgives Comiskey for this practical joke and they become
    bitter enemies. The lesson?

    Never mess around with a man's gun!
