Texas. was short a pitcher. and he
hired a rough-necked. tow-headed coun-
try boy at the wage Of SO a month to
tackle the Hinging Job. On account 81
his great speed. the bucolic youth was
appointed to pitch the opening game.
The irst fve men VINO faced him hit
for two bases each, and the red-necked
twirier was promptly benched.
Say. Mr.. Shelton he humbly in
qu!red, "can l get another chance to-
morrow"
You cam replied Shelton. but you
spend the rest OF this afternoon In get
ting the notion out OF your head that
you are a pitcher. Tomorrow you play
the outfield. and you had better wear a
mask out there in case somebody hits
YOU in the head"
"oh. l can ketch EN-" said the youth.
! and he proved It.
The next day Shelton's team got three
men on bases and the young fodder
puller with a wicked swing shot the
ball put OF the park for a home run.
| From that time on he played the out
| nold and lived happily ever afterward.
That young man was iris Speaker.
