Then he gave me my card which sed hlte b ft 6 in. distance around 6 ft C In. wate 196*4 pounds. And he Md Skinny as you grow older and taller you will take on more graceful lines. That made me feel good and I went back to the schoolroom a WhtsUin. Say Sheets you should of been at the baseball gvme last Saturday. . We had sum fun. When I got there i our Captain sed Skinny we are one j man short and you got to play. So 11 wen*. In the game and the first time | at bat I certainly did lam the ball and started to run for first base. When I got near there I stubbed my toe and fell down but I had so much { momentum that I rolled clear to the | base and grabbed the bag. The empire sed safe and the coach told me to beat It for second base and I got there all rite. 1 guess I made a two bagger. I herd the captain of the Other team holler at the first baseman Why didn't yu block him and \ he sed block nothin that feUer Is hler up in the air layln down than When he is standin up and I don't -'ant to be run over by a steam roll•r. Yu come here ar do yur own bloekin. I rather play rite field anyway. They bad lirowed the ball over first base into the next lot so I Cot to second all rite and got a run when the next feller pasted the pill for a homer. We beat em to 1J.
