Life And Death Of A Tough Guy (1955) - Plot & Excerpts
the Spotter had admitted when the pair of beaten-up kids dragged back out of the East Side. Just the same he bawled Joey out for giving his real name. “Suppose them sheenies get after Johnny Murtagh and he starts huntin’ the guys in his gang what give him away? He’s got no Joey Kasow in the Dusters, but we have. All we need’s the Dusters fightin’ the Badgers! You guys stay outa sight a while. Don’t come near me!” It was Georgie who had said, “Joey, les hobo a while. I always wanted to see the country.” “Might as well,” Joey had answered bitterly This treatment of the Spotter’s hit below the belt; he hadn’t expected a gold medal exactly, but they hadn’t ratted and they’d saved their skins into the bargain. “Nobody loves a loser!” he announced to Georgie as if he’d discovered this fact in person.
