McCarthy has me playing in center field and while I have been hit on the head three times already this spring, it wasn't because I didn't see . the ball or misjudged it. it was the wind or, maybe the -way they make the new balls these days. I don't have to tell you, Al, that I never could throw, but the baseball writers (I sure do -miss Sam Crane and Hughie Fullerton, Al) are comparing my arm with Bob Meusel’s, which I don't know is a knock or a boost, on account I had quit baseball

I was surprised today when & union leader looked me up and told me I was being victimized by the capitalistic system, which is the first time I ever heard Rickey called that, and I have heard him called plenty, He pointed out the pay should be different for an outfield, an infleld’ and so on and that

I must play because of manpower shortage. I have been thinking it
