Well he give us a long work out and he stood behind me wile I throwed a few to Schalkie and he said I didnât look as fast as when I pitched them 4 innings last Friday but he wasnât throwing no boquets at any of the boys today so I didnât pay no tension. But I couldnât help from laughing at 1 of the young catchers name Cosgrove that was standing up there catching in the batting practice and Joe Jackson hit a foul ball straight up and Cosgrove throwed off his mask and begin running a mile around a 4 ft. track and finely the ball came down and hit him in the cheek bone and knocked him for a gool. Well he layed there and the trainer come running out to tend to him but Gleason says âGet away from him as he is just as good laying there as standing up and maybe after this he will know enough to keep his mask on after a high foul ball.â
