That was 38 years ago. Bob Lemon is a fully grown man now He'll be 56 in a few time star of the Negro Leagues. In a sense, it is something of an injustice that the old Lemon had to wait this long before being enshrined. One of his admirers, a fellow by the name of Bill Phillips of Kansas City, has campaigned for years for his election. weeks and has the same general makeup as someone like John Wayne or Dick Butkus. He's sociable and friendly enough but he isn't likely to sit down and talk about the delicate art of cutting and shaping women's hair "I remember when I was managing the Royals, he came to me one day and said 'would you mind if I advertised you a bit?'"
