Well I looked in to the bench again and Gleason didnât say I yes or no but I wasnât going to stay out there and faint away for him or no other cuckoo. So I walked in to the dugout and said Iâm through. âThrough with whatâ Gleason says. âThrough with a mgr. like you that makes a man go in there and try to pitch when I am so sick I donât know what I am doing.â So Gleason said âThat is the way you have always pitched.â So I said âWell I am not going to pitch that way or no other way for you no more but I am going to pitch for a mgr. that donât ask a man to work when he is only 2 laps this side of a corps.â Who are you going to pitch for? I am going to pitch for Detroit. âWellâ says Gleason âthat puts them out of the race as Jennings is so crazy now that he eats grass and when you get there he will start in on his ball club.â Well I said something back to him and went in the club house.
