So with full appreciation of my responsibility I sought a spot where, shut off from the disturbances of th world, i could think out. and put on paper, my opinion of the baseball season that will soon be here Scuffletown waa my final choice. Scuffletown, nestled close —■ all three buildings to the bosom of the Blueridge mountains. Scuffle town - which even Thomas Gray would have found too quiet for the writing of hia Elegy.
