Jumping from a train at the Union
Station and waiting only long enough to
get a pair of baseball shoes and the sig
nails of the team, Walker debuted yes

one bright spot in a murky world.

benched in favor of Dolly Gray, who
was slapped hard and often. Steam

got "his'n," until Walter Herrell took
his turn at being hammered.
