III but the old World
Series only comes
once a year. and there is nothing to in.
%.erfere with it. Knowing that. | attended
most Of the games. That's all | have
been asked since the thing was over.
Say tell us about that riot In the last
game. rs Dir really as hot as they
say he Is ?""Did Joe Brown shake hands
with one of those big pitchers and
squeeze 1t so hard the guys hands were
crushed?" What made frankie Frisch
put Dean In as a runner for anyhow?
He Is a pitcher.
Well 1t Is a lot different to be there
and see 1t. and then just hear 1t. But 1t
Is surprising. not only surprising but
absolutely amazing how different
people see different plays. and hear EN-
describe EN- afterwards. Well maby
its you that's .sNuts" and not them. but
anyhow one Of you are out OF step.
Now for instance. take the famous play
where the kicking and attempted spik-
Ing was done. Now | sit right over about
half way between home plate and third
base In Mr. Edsel and Henry Ford's
box. and from where we sit we certainly
had that particular play right In our
lap. Now here Is q peculiar thing and
| haven't heard anybody else say 1t.
| don't think there was a play made
there with the ball at all. The throw
was cut off by the second baseman or
shortstop. 1t was a three base hit and
Medwick had his head down and natur-
ally was expecting the throw to be
made, so he .diyed into the bag, feet
first.
Now Owen was right there as though
knew It wasent coming. Now | would
like to hear from that. Was | trying to
tell Mr. Ford how to run his business
when this play come up or Inn right?
| say the ball dident come to third base
at all. that the coacher at third could
have told him be incident slide. and
that Owen In that case dident have to
try to block his path. In that case there
would have been no trouble at all. But
Owen still held the line and Medwick
dived into him and they both went
down, they layed there piled up for
just a moment and then Is when Med
wick suddenly made a quick. kick
kinder up and out at him. but with no
chance of reaching him. 1t looked like
a kind OF a quick a~fterthought with no
idea OF really kicking him.
| talked with both of EN- In their
dressing rooms right after, and Med
wick said he really dident mean any
thing. and he don't know why he really
did 1t. and that he offered to shake
hands when they got up. | do know he
felt terribly bad about It, Owen was
very nice in his explanation Of 1t. He
said he fell across him reachinEfor the
ball. Well then there must have been
a ball there. and he ought to know. But
by golly | just dident see the ball come
clear to him. | got to ask old dig,
about that. He knows everything.
Well its all over and | enjoyed every
minute of 1t. In my early vaudeville
days | used to get out and see a LOT OF
ball games. or see part OF EN-. depend
ing when | was on the BILL Then they
we're great theater goers. They always
| come to the leading vaudeville theatre.
generally In punches. and would know
they were there and generally kid about
them from the stage. and lots OF times
| would be stopping at the same hotel.
Then | have had on a uniform and
"Shagged" hys at practice in the morn
ings with the home team. Detroit was
the town | remember doing that In.
knew all the old players, George MORT
arity. the great third baseman OF those
days, was talking to me about It at the
game. He was batting en- to me. He run
me ragged. Honey Boy George Evens
was another comedian that used to 90
out for morning practice with EN-.
One summer they turned all the ball
parks into open air summer vaudeville.
They would put In movable stage about
