Waiting around the drug store and hotel in tiny Grand Junction, experts figured that here was a make or break situation. A brilliant heat by Wicomico would win. Otherwise, two or more top dogs would be called back to try again. For once, the wise bird dog fanciers of Grand Junction were wrong. Wicomico's heat was not good enough to win. Instead of calling for a runoff, the judges...
