Decides to Quit.
1t took but minutes observation
to discover that Murray would never
be a pitcher Not only did he lack
pitching stuff, but he had absolutely
no control. Still, he was such a fine
chap that we did not have the heart
to tell him the truth.
One evening McGraw and | attend
ed a masquerade ball. AS we walked
home McGraw suddenly said. II just
got an idea. Wen buy a mask and
put it on Murray. Wen tell him
that if he wears the mask he is sure
to get control" We bought the mask
and put it on Murray. He was
tickled with il. He wore the mask
four days. His control was worse
than ever, of course. Then he de-
cided to give up base ball. If he
could not get control with the mask
he could never get it. That was his
conclusion and that ended Murray S
base ball career.
Just before our departure that
Spring we were given a banquet. The
Rev. Father Joseph Butler, then
president of st. Bonaventure, made
a speech. Last year we had Nc

said.
