Mass, team. and nights, after the
game, would stand in front Of the late
Pat Hurley's hotel and amuse himself
by firing small leaden pellets at pass
ers-by. Using a toothpick as the sling
shot. Mclean would send the shot with
force. and frequently would cause pain
as well as fright to the person struck.
One night Kinney Brewer. the sport

standing nearby, and Mclean sent n
number of shot in "Himey's direction.

Brewer, usually a quiet chap, iu,-

Another vie name was his answer. IN
stantlv there was a clash. and the big
bali player was stretched on his back,
having stopped a swing with his jaw.
He arose weak kneed, and started
toward Brewer, but the latter met him
half way and showered rights and lefts
to the face, quickly sending Mclean
down and out His face was a sight,
both ewes black. his nose swollen. and
his lips split by the plucky writer's
blows.
Mclean ever afterwards gave Brewer
a IVide berth He had met a game

would happen If he tackled JEFF!
