Friend Al : Well old pal I guess they’s no more question about me makeing good and sticking with the club and you will say the same thing when I tell you what Gleason said yesterday. We played a game out to the pk. between the 1st and 2nd clubs and the game was to go 7 innings and Gleason told me I could pitch a part of it for the 2nd club so my arm was feeling so good that I asked him to let me work 4 of the 7 innings. Well Al when I got through the 1st club had 1 hit and never found out where 2nd base was located. So when it was over Gleason come up to me and said “Well Jack I don’t know what the war done to you but I never seen you look better then that in the spring and right now you look like the best man I have got down here pitching.” He said “Now don’t go and swell up but keep working hard and do like I tell you and you may turn out to be the bird I need to round out my pitching staff.” Well the club was going over to play Ft.
