He tells the following story about an
incident of his boyhood
Father had hired man named
Ned, tall. quiet fellow with pair OF
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with us year. He got drunk peri
odically. and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
to work. We asked him to play with
us, and he laughed and said he reck-
oned he would try to play first base il
law would let him off. fixed it with
father. and Ned played first barehand-
ed, making catches and stops that
filed us with establishment. Also he
made five home runs. two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back of left field. Walking home
that evening he told me he had played
ball professionally, yet it was not until
two years later that learned he once
had been a famous outfielder with a
great team"
