"Give my regards to Owney,' said the president of the Washington "Sen ators' 'and tell him to drop me a line. Haven't heard from In years, and sup posed he was dead." "Do I remember Owney? I would say I do. He was one of the quickest thinkers and fastest base stealers I ever encountered on a baseball dia mond. One of my favorite stories Is the one about Owney In a wild game in Montana when the excitement and confusion was most intense, stealing second, then third and then home, be fore the other team could wake up to what he was doing." "Tell Owney to come down to Wash ington and I will give him a seat on the bench with some of the lads who weren't born when he and I hung up for gloves. He will like them and they will like him."
