Facing me, with a sardonic look on his weather beaten face, was "Cherokee" Fisher, a man of whom I had always stood in the greatest awe, one of the best of the old time underhand pitchers. In the stand were the directors of the team, who were taking in with an eagle eye my every movement. It was a trying position for a greenhorn, and I could feel my knees knock together. I remember I had some trouble in picking out a bat that suited me. I was wondering all the time whether or not I should be able to hit the ball. Finally I gave the signal to let her go and Fisher began sending them in with his customary speed.
