I released McReady outright an' traded Carroll to Denver for a catcher and a fielder. Some of the directors hollered murder, an' I expect the fans will roar, but I'm running this team, I'll have harmony among my players. Carroll is a great catcher, but he's a knocker."
Amid tremendous uproar Billie stretched the hit into a triple, and when he got up out of the dust after his slide into third the noise seemed to be the crashing down of the bleachers.

"But why am I the one to get it in the neck hard?" "Why didn't you come yesterday, and Tim McReady to-day?" Melton's face went blank, and Jacob Welse answered his own question with shrugging shoulders. "That's the way it stands, Melton. No favoritism. If you hold me responsible for Tim McReady, I shall hold you responsible for not coming yesterday. Better we both throw it upon Providence.

Even the typical soldiers I have been personally intimate with, it seems to me if I were to make a list of them it would be like a city directory. Some few only have I mention'd in the foregoing pages most are dead a few yet living. Stansberry; Manvill Winterstein, Ohio; Bethuel Smith; Capt. Sam. Pooley and Lieut. Fred. McReady, same reg't.
