the whole neigbborhood of rookeries
and shacks surrounding the ball park,
and the city took advantage Of its

quired the use of lumber, and what
ctnch Il was for US kids. That was

Boston, with the old WGlpols street
grounds the scene Of the daily seram-
BILE.
With all that lumber hanging
around, It was easy for Us kids to
shove up q plank against the fence
behind the nrst base bleachers-
Half a dozen kids could shinney up
that plank and fall over into the
bleachers before the nearest cop
could arrive. and we kept those cops
mighty busy, for sometimes q dozen
pIanks would be in operation all at
one time, with only three or four
cops on duty.
What Happened to UE-
1t fell to our lot one afternoon to
be the last kid up our particular
plank before the cop knocked it down
We were left hanging helplessly on
top OF the fence. The fans inside
were tickled to death to help the kids
In, and so a brawny fellow yanked US
by the scruff OF the neck We landed
right among the men
But John Haggerty's henchmep
were already making their way
through the fans. One of them had
spotted that last kid to fall into the
park. He came right at US with long
strides Up the bleachers- He seized
US by the coat collar and started out,
yanking US with HIM
HI,et the kid alone" roared the
grinning fans. as we proceeded down
the bleachers. Let the kid alone"
Before we had gone nifty feet, towed
by Haggerty's stalwart, some fan
bounced a bottle on our prosecutors
dome and we we're free
Quickly we were hidden between
the feet of the fans sitting in the
first two rows up against the low
fence on the field Men dropped their
coats on US so that we might escape.
And there we lay until the night be-
hind was ended and we could sit up
and look at Billy Nash and Bobby
