PORTING
JOKE ON J. |. TAYLOR

Ed Spencer tells n funny one
on John l. Taylor, former owner
OF the Red Sox.
On one Of the Red Sox's west
ern trips several years ago it
was brought TO Taylor's atten-
ton by some well wisher who
was very badly informed that
Frank Arcllanes, then q pitcher
with Taylor's club. was thinking
seriously of getting married.
Immediately Taylor got on the
trail Of the Santa Cruz hurler.
Heres 500 for you, Frank"
said the Red Sox's owner, "and
it's all yours if you don't get
married just at this time"
ArellaucS accepted the money
and said nothing.
"Why shouldn't he have done
500" asks Spencer. Frank
didn't know anything about his
coming marriage until Taylor
told sim about it."
