That is, when his yearnings for the future ran along the line of professional baseball, his mother took an inventory of his capabilities and determined to make him a minister. She died. He was given a parsonage in a small town and got along very nicely except that Charlotte Bingham, the town belle, refused to have anything to do with a country minister. Then, one day the manager and catcher of the town baseball squad nearly lost the league pennant. Three pitchers had been knocked out when the Rev. Salamander swung his college arm in the box and struck out two men and won the game on a first bag put out, and a homer. Of course after the crowd finished cheering, the minister and Charlotte drew aside and kissed. No one objected for the town now held the pennant. Written by
