The players could jolly him into pitching at any time or playing any other position, for that matter. He was a real good fielder and fair hitter.
 Though Waddell was hard on his manager. as a rule, he was mighty easy on umpires. He never got Into trouble with them.

Me-ever heard of me-
 I'm Babe Ruth.
 Just call me Babe. or the Big B m. mistake. He called me the Big B m and I chased him out of the ball. yard.
 But I'm not like that any more. l used to hit home runs and the more homers I hit the more dough I got and the more dough I got the bigger my hat got until finally the public stepped up and crowned me.
 That reduced the size of my head. my big hat sagged down over my ears.
 Well. sir, you have to go through what 1 went through, to learn tha. the more money you make the more trpu- bles you have. A detective trailed me last season and the boss fined me the price of a six-room bungalow, for breaking training. Judge Landis pasted me-$3,000 fine and 60 days on the hench-for transforming. A judge gave me a day in jail for speeding. A dame fixed up suit against me for breach of promise. The hay power merry go round down there in Havana tagged me for large loss.
 Oh. what a cuffing I got from all directions.
 Then I saw that I was pretty much of sap.
 So took a never-never pledge.
 I spent a whole winter up in the woods. minding the baby and doing farm work.
 Lonely? You tell 'em; cry when l think about 1t.
 In the spring I trained harder than any recruit.
 Now look at me.
 I'm going to lead the league in hitting this season.
 I'll probably lead both leagues in homers. too, but that's just inci- dental.
 I'm voted the most valuable play CT to his club in the entire Amer ican league. That means all-around value, not just hitting 1 give nobody any trouble. l mind my own business, I'm saw ing some dough now.
 People like me better. I'm Babe Ruth---the reborn Babe.
 He went to the Washington Sena- tors about two seasons later and the kids used to watch the box-scores
 
 l into the drug store, to see what he had done. He only broke into the | lineup once and after quite q time l there was a little piece in the papers saying he had been released to some team in the minors down south. The kids thought that fellow Clark Grif- | fifth must be insane to treat him so | for they knew this boy. was one of the best incipient world series stars alive.
 Anyway. he never, was heaSd of any more until he. came back to the drug store and said the big leagues were the bunk because he got only | S60 a month and had to pay his room rent out of-'that and buy his own meals. too. when the clubs wasn't on tour.
