another story and let US proceed to
what kinsella says:
Il often disagree with my fellow
scouts about ball players. Early this
season l looked at a boy who was
creating a sensation in the Central
league. and / might have bought him
on the strength of the fact that he
seemed to be a natural hitter. and
quite fast, if l had not noticed that he
had strangely awkward left-handed
throw.
II asked a barber a few questions
about the player when | was getting
shaved the next day after looking him
oVer-barbers always have q lot of
gossip about the ball players in these
little tOwns-and I learned the young
ster had originally been right hand

was trying TO transform himself into
a left handler That was enough for
me. As soon as I confirmed the re-
port | took the next train out Of town.

club bought the boy for $4,000 Now
