Show Doc Gautreau Anxious to Assist Any Rookie Doc Gautreau, the tiny infielder, formerly with the Boston Braves, but who is now playing in the Eastern league, was a helpful sort of a fellow to rookies breaking into the big leagues. The story is told of the repartee re-partee he had with one young man whose hair was not without its hayseed, hay-seed, but whom Gautreau wanted to see get an even break. Chumming up to the kid in the hotel ho-tel lobby one night, Doc broke the Ice. "Have you decided what you'd like to do tonight?" he asked the Innocent one. "Well, let's think hard," replied the rookie. "No, no !" snapped the little Gautreau. Gau-treau. "Bet's do something that you can do, too." But it was wasted on the subject at hand. |
