I'm known to all baseball fans as Wild Bill Wiley, and I'm the manager of the Hornets in the American League. Early in April, we stop off at Little Rock on our way east for a game with a local club.

During batting practice, I'm shooting the breeze with a bunch of the newspaper boys who've been assigned to cover the Hornet Spring training. With me is Jimmy Clark, 11 years now, the Team Star catcher, a college grad and a guy as smart as Mo Berg ever was.

Mo could get away with murder with the ums because he always custom-out in Latin and ancient Greek. Jimmy uses Sanskrit and Hindustani. One of the pencil pushers, Jack Ford of the Courier Independent, is a fast guy with a nigger.

And I've already got a red neck by the time he says. Maybe you can take this one today, Bill. A little rock skipper tells me he's going to start his second stringers. Go, fry an egg, Ford.

Maybe we haven't looked so good so far, but I'm running this ball club for the owners, and not for a newspaper punk like you. I'm bringing it along slow. So we've all observed. You think you'll have it out of low and in a second by Labor Day?
