So I went in and asked Comiskey for my transportation and he says Thatâs right Boy go out there and work hard and maybe I will want you back. I told him I hoped so but I donât hope nothing of the kind Al. I am going to see if I canât get Detroit to buy me, because I would rather live in Detroit than anywheres else. The little girl who got stuck on me this spring lives there. I guess I told you about her Al. Her name is Violet and she is some queen. And then if I got with the Tigers I wouldnât never have to pitch against Cobb and Crawford, though I believe I could show both of them up if I was right. They ainât got much of a ball club here and hardly any good pitchers outside of me. But I donât care.
I will win some games if they give me any support and I will get back in the big league and show them birds something. You know me, Al.
Your pal, Jack .
