One of them says What are you trying to do kid somebody? He says Go home and get some soap and remove your disguise from your face. I didnât think he ought to talk like that to them and I called him about it and said maybe they was lonesome and it wouldnât hurt none if we treated them to a soda or something. But he says Lonesome. If I donât get you away from here they will steal everything you got. They wonât even leave you your fast ball. So we left them and he took me to a picture show. It was some California pictures and they made me think of Hazel so when I got back to the hotel I sent her three postcards.
Gleason made me go to my room at ten oâclock both nights but I was pretty tired anyway because he had walked me all over town. I guess we must of saw twenty shows. He says I would take you to the grand opera only it would be throwing money away because we can hear Ed Walsh for nothing. Walsh has got some voice Al a loud high tenor.
