They got one hit off of me and Cobb made it a scratch single that he beat out. If he hadnât of been so dam fast I would of had a no hit game. At that Weaver could of threw him out if he had of started after the ball in time. Crawford didnât get nothing like a hit and I whiffed him once. I give two walks both of them to Bush but he is such a little guy that you canât pitch to him.
When I was warming up before the game Callahan was standing beside me and pretty soon Jennings come over. Jennings says You ainât going to pitch that bird are you? And Callahan said Yes he was. Then Jennings says I wish you wouldnât because my boys is all tired out and canât run the bases. Callahan says They wonât get no chance today. No, says Jennings I suppose not. I suppose he will walk them all and they wonât have to run. Callahan says He wonât give no bases on balls, he says. But you better tell your gang that he is liable to bean them and they better stay away from the plate. Jennings says He wonât never hurt my boys by beaning them. Then I cut in. Nor you neither, I says. Callahan laughs at that so I guess I must of pulled a pretty good one. Jennings didnât have no comeback so he walks away.
