You see Al
when a person has got rhuematism they go and take the baths like down to
Mudlavia so I meant if his bones was sore he better go somewheres like
that. So the little lady tried to not laugh on acct. of me being a stranger
but she couldn't hardly help from busting out and then I smiled at her back
and after that Carson might as well of been mowing the lawn out in Nobody's
Land. I felt kind of sorry the way things broke because here he is a man
without no home ties and of course I have all ready got a wife but Miss
Moselle didn't have no eyes for him and that's the way it goes but what can
a man do and Carson seen how it was going and says to me right in front of
her "Have you heard from your Mrs. since we been over?" And I didn't dast
look up and see how she took it.
Well they set us up a pretty good feed and the little lady kept asking us
questions like how long had we been here and what part of the U. S. we come
from and etc. and finely Carson told her who I was and she popped her eyes
out and says she use to go to the ball games once in a wile in N. Y. city
with her old man and she didn't never think she would meet a big league
pitcher and talk to them and she says she wondered if she ever seen me
pitch. Well I guess if she had she would remember it specially in N. Y.
because there was one club I always made them look like a fool and they
wasn't the only club at that and I guess they's about 6 other clubs in the
American League that if they had seen my name in the dead they wouldn't
shed off enough tears to gum up the infield.
