H "Along about the fifth, Jackson X came galloping in from his po- T " sition in the outfield and de- X manded the name of the owner T of the park. On being told, J Jackson, who was playing in his T !! stocking feet, said: 'Well, he -j- " had better get the broken hot- j .. ties cleared up in that outfield: they are cutting the covers of X the balls."' l-l-l 1 I 1 1 I 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 i I 1 I 1 1 1 1 ! |
