T.'s by asking for a raise of $5,000. Goslin was once known as a modest youth, but judging from his recent letters to Mr. Griffith, big league environment en-vironment has made him about as diffident as a pickpocket. Be that as it may, here is friend Thompson's little lit-tle tale: In Washington a well-known tailor offered a suit, of clothes for every home run niade by the Washington players. lie's a friend of Goslin, by the way. Before the season opened Goslin dropped around to his place of business busi-ness and had four suits of clothes made, liven his tailor friend didn't understand the method in Goslin's madness when he said, "Charge 'em." Goose, of course, expected to clean up his account with home rue. drives. Later in the season Goslin ws.s asked how he and his tailor friend were making it. "I'm sorry, but I've disappointed him a triile," said the Goose. "At this time I still owe him one home run." |
