A dapper little gray haired man with sprightly step may be seen any afternoon taking a walk along the F/shwick section of Brooklyn. This mideSt appearing person is none other that Wee Willie -I<eelr, a great base ball star of other days. who made the expression Hit 'em where they ain't" popular in the sport world. He may be on a mission of either collecting his rents or of scanning the locality for real estate bargains. He is one ball player who as a result of careful liv- ing and strict attention to business IS now reaping the reward of hts efforts on the diamond.

The little fellow had his amb: ton satisfied, however, beyond expectations and from the moment that he graduated from the sand lots he gradually became star of the first magnitude.
 A4any amusing incidents are told of Keeler and his love for his parents. One in particular deals with his dad, who was for years employed on one of the city railways as a switchman. The elder Keeler was happy and con tended with his duties of switching the cars along one of the. busiest sec tfoT1s Of the city. The baseball star, however, had thoughts about his par ent and that job too. and when he earned fame and money he, decided that his father must Dc. relieved of this ardous work. ..s..-
