He sent him to me in the hope I could get a job for him with some semi- pro outfit. “When I saw him throw the ball, 1 knew he had the makings of a great pitcher. I had played with Rube Marquard, Larry French and Jackie May and knew what they had on the ball. They were in the majors and this Grissom had more stuff than they had when I knew them. “He was big, good-natured, had never earned more than $1.50 a day in his life and didn't want to work, s0 he was meant to be a ball play- er. I couldn’'t get him a job, be- cause he wasn't eager to work. He worked for a while in my tire shop but he hurt his right hand. I think he purposely put it into the buffer.
