Friend Joe:
| am playing Detroit this week, and

off. 1t was baseball night in my
honor. The Detroit team and the New

and it was some baseball night. l
was presented a big horseshoe of

very little one-but got by with it,
walked over to the box where
Hughie Jennings was and invited
him to come up on the stage and sing
That's How l Need YOU" our old
song. but he got cold feet. So l went
into the box and he stood up and
sang the chorus with me. 1t was
big scream 1t was four minutes
before they would let the show go on,
and Hughie had to make a speech.
After the show we had a little
spread and l sure did enjoy myself,
and l felt very proud to be honored
by such men as Frank Chance,
Hughie Jennings, Ty Cobb and Sam
Crawford and a bunch of stars like
that.
Hughie and had quite a talk to-
day and he wanted to know how you
were. He said he saw you in New
York. l asked him about coming
over to Newark and starting one OF
the bike races Sunday, August Both.
He is booked to play Jersey City on
that date, but he went up to Presi-
dent Navin to have 1t cancelled, so !
guess he will be over. l will not be
home on that date as | am working
in the West, so it's up to you to take
good care of him.
Well, Joe, I guess have said
enough for now. I hope you are we'll
and happy. Remember me to the
boys. Your friend,
BEN SMITH.
