Well Al she knows I am a married man because Carson just as good as told her so I didnât see no harm in kidding her along a wile so I give her a smile and said well you know the whole town ainât like you and she blushed up and says âWell I didnât expect nothing like that from a great baseball pitcherâ so you see Al she had been makeing inquirys about me. So I said âWell they was only one pitcher I ever heard of that couldnât talk and that was Dummy Taylor but at that theyâs a whole lot of them that if they couldnât say my armâs sore they might as well be tongue tied.â But I told her I wasnât one of those kind and I guest when it came to talking I could give as good as I sent and she asked me was I a college man and I kidded her along and said yes I went to Harvard and she said what year so I told her I was there 2 different yrs. and we talked along about this in that and I happened to have them verses in my pocket that I wrote up and they dropped out when I was after my pocket book and she acted like she wanted to know what the writeing was so I showed them to her.
