I ran as fast as 1 could and overtook Groll between second and third. “ ‘Hurry up! - I said. “‘What’s the use?’ he replied; ’it's a home run.’ "And that’s what it was. As I trotted across the plate a mighty cheer went up from the stands and an army of fans jumped over the railings and they fairly swarmed about me. “McGraw came up as I was changing my clothes. " ’Well,’ he said. ‘I guess you’ll get so you can make that play at third after a while.’ "That was all he said, making no mention of the home run. But that’s McGraw’s style.
