Speaker 4: I met Marty Stratton one autumn afternoon near a little countrytown.
Speaker 1: In Wagner, Texas.
Speaker 4: I was bumming my way to California when I saw
a ball game going on. After the game, I went
looking for the followed pitch. Yeah, hey, can you wait
a minute?
Speaker 1: That game you just pitched? This? Going son? Thanks? You
ever think of pitching regular professional baseball? I guess that's
just about all I ever do think about. Well, what
are you wasting your time around here?
Speaker 5: For?
Speaker 1: Waste my time? I get three dollars every time I
pitch a game, three dollars. Eh Son I think you
and I ought to have a little talk. We are
ahead home, just about four more off this road here
foor mile. I would probably kill me, but sound I
sure like the way you throw a baseball. Thank you, sir?
You play balls? Yes, I slow down? What'd you play?
Where'd you play?
Speaker 4: Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, big legs? That's right, one time I
was a pretty fair catcher. I can teach you a
lot about baseball, Son, I don't quite get it, ye
I know, look at me now down an hour.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I didn't mean I was a.
Speaker 4: Fool, a grand slam, double barrel, fool, rope training, hit
the bottle.
Speaker 1: Well, here I am.
Speaker 4: But seeing you pitch this afternoon was like seeing a
dream come true, finding a hot prospect coming back into baseball.
Speaker 1: Are you staying around here?
Speaker 4: Well exactly. I was on the way to California. Oh,
of course it doesn't have to be California. Uh huh,
I could, Oh I might, I might. I could help you.
Speaker 1: You ever do any farm work? Oh?
Speaker 6: I've you sure look mighty flabby, Son, I got muscles
I haven't even used yet.
Speaker 1: Well, I I live with Mama.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, she doesn't think very much of baseball.
Speaker 1: Well maybe if I spoke to it. No, no, I know,
you better let me do the talk.
Speaker 6: You see, mister, this is what I was baseball men
and call a squeeze play.
Speaker 1: Now, just let me think on it as we walk home.
Speaker 6: My I was talking mister a while here before. He's
sort of looking around for something to do, and I
thought maybe sort of figure might hold up here for
the winter, don't see, I, you know, sort of help
out around the place, you.
Speaker 7: Know as well as I do. Monty. We can't afford
no hired hands.
Speaker 6: Oh well, he wouldn't expect any pay or just room
and keep.
Speaker 7: You want to know yourselver wood Son.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, it's not that, ma, but just a
lot of things need doing.
Speaker 8: When your father died, Manty left this place to you.
It's yours, and you're old enough to know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6: Wow, ill I I better get that feed out of
the bar.

Speaker 5: Out of mister.
Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am, This barms all Marty's got, mister, while, but
it's worth something. But you and Monty, will you go
ahead and talk baseball. Maybe someday he'll do as good
as you did.
Speaker 4: I couldn't blame his mall or baseball meant to her
was seeing Marty wind up like well, like me.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 4: I stayed there, and day after day I tried to
pass on to Marty what I knew about the game,
what I knew about pitching. And then around March it
was I knew there wasn't anymore I can teach you.
Speaker 1: That said, Marty, You're doing fine.
Speaker 7: Son.
Speaker 1: All off for today, Eh, Burly got started. That's no work.

Speaker 1: Your joke.
Speaker 4: I don't mean you've learned all there is know about kitchen,
but from here on you've got to learn for yourself.
Speaker 1: We got to get you some action. Well not much
action around here, Barney.
Speaker 4: I have but to raise in California and Jimmy Dikes
and the White Sox is hard in spring training?
Speaker 1: Does you call a White Sox? All I have to

Speaker 7: Speak of mind, Manty, you got something to say, say it?
Speaker 1: Well, it's just this Ma.
Speaker 6: Barney and I was sort of thinking about taking a
little trip out to California.
Speaker 1: That's so uh huh.
Speaker 7: What baseball teams out there?
Speaker 1: That's the Carga Whites. How do you know that?
Speaker 8: I didn't figure you'd be going all that ways for
anything important?
Speaker 1: Son, Well this is important.
Speaker 7: Man with giving up the farm for.
Speaker 4: Well, if they take him on the least, he'll get
three hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 7: That's a lot of money for just throwing the ball around.
Speaker 6: And I won't have to give up the farm. I
saw cousin Ernie. He said he'd be glad to take
care of it while I'm gone.
Speaker 8: What makes you so sure they'll give you a try?
They try just anybody, Well.
Speaker 6: They sure don't for Barney and Jimmy dyke'sr old friend.
He's a manager of the White Sox. That way I'll
get a chance, for sure.
Speaker 7: Land's the only place where you're sure, son.
Speaker 1: Lots of people don't live on farms, miss Fred.
Speaker 8: Lots of people don't eat regular too. You you made
up your mind, ain't you, Monty. I just got to
give it a try more, sure, son, Sure you go on,
then you.
Speaker 1: Give it a try?
Speaker 9: Hey, right, who's the kid warming up? Kid missed the Dikes,
the tall skinny one in the leather jacket.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought you sent him out there.
I'll tell you who.
Speaker 4: He is the best right hand prospect since Christy matthis Barney.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, not you again. You bring that kid
out here?
Speaker 9: But I did.
Speaker 1: I want you to have first crack at him. Thanks.
He's got everything, Jimmy. I've been working with him all winter. Yeah,
who supplied the houscha? No? No, Jimmy, No, I haven't
had a drop since. Well, this is him, Monty. Jimmy Dike.
Speaker 9: I'm sure glad you're a second son. Barney's probably fills
your head with a lot of cock eyed ideas. But
I can't waste time with every kid, he'd egs ut.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, Wait, now, wait? How many times have I told
you not to bother me this way? Sorry? I busted
in on your like on that boy's kitch.

I's to tell him. I've been pitching for the Wagner
wild Cat my min All right, let's see what you got.
He really breaks them off, don't he.
Speaker 9: Send her down? Barney, So you got a curve? Let
me see your fast one.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. Maybe you better work out a while.
Keep him around, Barney.
Speaker 9: He may have something, but for Pete's sake, get him
a hair cut short be sure.
Speaker 1: But I tell you, Marty, I knew he'd give you
a chance. But when when? Boy, what are we supposed
to do? Now? Find us a room? Oh yeah, in
a barber shop.
Speaker 4: Well, we found a hotel and met a few of
the players who were staying there.
Speaker 1: That night, Marty went down to the lobby.
Speaker 4: He killed some time, and in the lobby he discovered
a fascinating pastime. Marty had never seen a slock machine before.
Ten minutes later, he had a pocket full of quarters
and a new friend, a rookie named Eddie Dibson.
Speaker 1: Eddie was flatbrooke. He had a date that night with
his girl. That makes matters worse. She was bringing a
friend along. But there was Monty, fresh from the sticks
and ready.
Speaker 4: To learn all about nightlife in the city.
Speaker 1: We are very nice dancers, aren't they. I mean, Gottie
and Eddie.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes they are.
Speaker 6: I guess I shouldn't be here at all.
Speaker 5: Oh, well, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't you. It's me.
I mean it's Eddie.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but for some reason he seemed to
all anxious for me to tag along.
Speaker 5: Good friend of yours.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, yes, I just met him tonight though. Come along,
he says, I want you to meet the girls. He says,
I come along.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I can't ask you to dance, but I
don't know how.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's all right.
Speaker 1: I guess baseball is about all I know.
Speaker 5: Well, that's something.
Speaker 1: You're seeing us work out yet?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Us? Who's us?
Speaker 1: The Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 5: No. No, I guess that's the one thing I've missed.
You see, I'm just visiting here. I'm from Omaha.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, the team looks good. It looks awful good.
Speaker 5: Oh that's very nice. I bet you're pretty good yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I'm still trying out.
Speaker 5: I bet you can hit a baseball pretty far.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not expected to hit very much. Say I'm
a pitcher.
Speaker 5: Well, I bet you can pitch far.
Speaker 6: You don't quite seem to get the idea, do you say,
I just have to pitch from the mound to the
plate that's just about sixty feet All.
Speaker 5: Right, then I'll bet you can pitch fast.
Speaker 6: Well, sometimes you have to sort of rear back and
sort of let them go fast, and then other times
just sort of sort of equip it like this, you say,
and curve it in sort of and you get in
spots and you just sort of float her in. Let's
say what you call a change of pace.
Speaker 5: And then there, speaking of change of pace, would you
mind telling me something? Just what is that noise?
Speaker 1: Noise?
Speaker 5: But every time you move that that jingling sound?
Speaker 1: Jingling? Oh? All this? Huh?
Speaker 6: You see that they have these uh what do you cut?
The machines in the lobby of the hotel. I never
saw them before, and I sort of wondered about them.
Before I knew it, I dropped a quarter in a
whole lot of fruits started spinning around, and then things.
Speaker 1: Sort of slid to a stop, and out came that.
Speaker 6: No, No, nothing happened. Not you had all well, before
I know it, I was down to my last quarter.
Sort of figured I might as well be broke as
a way I was. So in went the last quarter
and fruit took off again, oranges and grapefruit and lemons
and spinning around.
Speaker 1: Like a top.
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden, the quarter started popping
out like hands through a busted fence.
Speaker 5: Well, if you don't make it in baseball, mister Stratton,
you've got a very fine future in gambling.
Speaker 1: No, I'm fruit gambling.
Speaker 6: Why Well, I've found out how it feels to lose
and what it's like to win.
Speaker 1: Why keep out it?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 4: Now, like I said this other fellow, Eddie Dibson, Cumbley's girl.
But one look at Ethel and Eddie forgot all about Dottie.
Eddie had it all figured out.
Speaker 1: Where's Dotty Ben hiding?
Speaker 6: Your old will make up big night out of this, Ethel.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you every spot in top.
Speaker 5: Oh, I wouldn't think of putting you to all that
trouble at ach.
Speaker 10: Look, if we're going someplace else, let's go someplace house, sure, country, sure, waiter,
check check.
Speaker 6: Now there's a little place I know near longbeat, soft music,
dancing under the stars.
Speaker 1: You want something, waiter? You asked for the chick, sir. Oh,
he wanted him. Give it to him, chick. Or maybe
you'd like hot music.
Speaker 6: Now there's a club in Hollywood, Eddie, sit out, Eddie.
Speaker 1: Oh, take care of it, William money.
Speaker 6: We'll make the rounds, baby, And what we don't hit tonight,
we'll hit tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Take care of the man. Monty will meet you off right,
take care of the man. Fourteen. Yes, sir, you got
a pod? I beg your pardon. Oh, never mind.
Speaker 6: Here, we're just just spread out the napkin here, yeah, yes, yes, sir,
here you are.
Speaker 5: Did it occur to you, mister Stratton, that I might
not want to go home, that I might have wanted
to go somewhere with Eddie?
Speaker 1: Well, what do you wanted? Wasn't so important?
Speaker 5: Oh it wasn't, no, I see.
Speaker 6: What was important was the way Eddie was treating Dotty,
trying to shine up to you.
Speaker 1: You know, he shouldn't have done.
Speaker 5: Him in front of her like guys or in front
of you.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's not what I mean. This is it?
Ain't it?
Speaker 6: But uh well I guess that, Yes, this is it?
Well can you wait, driver, I'll be right back o
case you look, I'm.
Speaker 1: Sorry about tonight. Boy. You sort of got stuck with me,
didn't you.
Speaker 5: Oh that's silly.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just never had much experience with girls.
What's you?
Speaker 5: You got stuck with the check?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 5: Did?
Speaker 1: It's worthy to get out of there. Well, good night money.
Speaker 5: Wait mm hmm, Well, I'm sorry about tonight too, But
you see, I haven't had too much experience myself with
ball players.
Speaker 1: Well I'm not exactly a ballplayer yet. I haven't made
the team yet.
Speaker 5: Oh you make it?
Speaker 1: Well, how do you know? You said you didn't know
anything about baseball?
Speaker 5: I could learn.
Speaker 1: When do you go home to Omaha?
Speaker 5: Well not for a while yet, I'm staying here with
my aunt.
Speaker 1: Time for me to come and call on you.
Speaker 5: Could be not ethel good that money.
Speaker 2: In just a moment, our stars will return with X
two of the Stratton story. I hearly be you're collecting
travel folders.
Speaker 11: Oh, just a dream so far, John, I got the
wanderlust at Paramount watching the Pine Thomas production of Captain China.
Speaker 2: That's a rip roaring adventure story if I ever saw one.
Speaker 11: John Payne in the title role gives a magnificent performance.
What a fighter he is.
Speaker 1: And Gail Russell looks more beautiful than ever.
Speaker 11: Oh, she's ravishing as a passenger on a tramp steamer.
She adds a delightful bit of romance.
Speaker 2: The typhoon scenes in Captain Shine had gotten me. They
were so realistic. I practically hope the skipper keep the ship.
Speaker 7: A full well.
Speaker 11: The ship was definitely real and so rough that when
the picture was finished, Gail said she'd take the smooth
sailing of a sail boat or a cabin cruiser from
now on.
Speaker 1: Certainly more relaxing.
Speaker 11: And you can wear such pretty clothes when you know
there's a box of lux flakes not far away. Gail
has a sharkskin rayon slack suit she loves for sailing
or if she wants to ten. She takes along some
little boys shorts in butcher linen and a jersey halter.
Speaker 1: Top, a cargo of luxeboats. Huh.
Speaker 11: Gail insists on lux Flakes for all her washable rayons
and nice cottons. They stay so fresh and bright all.
Speaker 2: Season, a smart girl. Washing tests prove that lux Flake's
care really makes a difference. Wrong washing methods soon fade colors,
weaken fabrics, but even the.
Speaker 11: Most delicate shade stay enchantingly fresh and gay the safe
lux Flake's way.
Speaker 1: And it's such easy care.
Speaker 11: Just a swish in these rich general SuDS, and your dress,
your blouse, your slacks are as lovely as ever. Why
not give all your washables that lovely lucks look.
Speaker 3: We return you now to William Keeley, Act two of
The Stratton Story, winner of Photoplay magazine's Gold Medal Award,

Next day at the railroad station. Ethel's there to say
goodbye to mar.
Speaker 5: We didn't have very much time together.

every time I get paid, I feel like I'm.
Speaker 9: Stealing my dykes a bit and there all right, Stratton,

What those Yanks have sent more pictures to Omaha, man
the kid to get a chance, didn't you. Well he's got.
Speaker 6: It now, number twenty five.
Speaker 1: You know who he's pitching to Dickie. That's all just
Bill Dickie. Another ball player forgot about the Runners. Kid
just pitched to him. Tell me it's foul, Jimmy, tell
me it's fou. What do you know? Clear over the
center field bar Omaha.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marty went far in his big league debut from
Chicago to Omaha, and that's how Ethel happened to have
an unexpected.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm so glad to see you, Mahi. What are
you doing here in Omaha? I thought you were going
to go down.
Speaker 1: No, I know, I know, I know. I'll just sit down.
I've got a problem.
Speaker 5: But you said in your letter you might pitch this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah I did.
Speaker 6: Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. Well,
what happened everything, honey? You know when I left you
in California?
Speaker 5: What was the school?
Speaker 1: No, that's not important. The thing that's bothered me.
Speaker 5: Is, well, they can't expect you to win every game, Honey.
Speaker 6: They don't expect me to win any games. I've been
farmed out to Omaha.
Speaker 5: Well, they don't put you in jail for playing in Omaha.
Speaker 6: I know, I know, there's nothing wrong with Omaha. It's
just that I don't know. I might not even make
it here. First thing, I know, I'll be back on
the farm.
Speaker 5: Don't you like the farm? Sure?
Speaker 6: Sure, it's all right. But well then, well I know
it's just the things are different. Now, that's all. Now
there's you.
Speaker 5: Would it help any if I said I love you?
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Oh, I see, No, No, you don't see.
Speaker 6: No matter what I was doing, I kept thinking about you,
and every time i'd see something exciting, I'd kept wishing
that you were there to see it with me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's love. Man, I really got it.
Speaker 5: Oh, you had me worried.
Speaker 1: But I had all.
Speaker 6: Sorts of plans for us. Now now I don't know
where I'm going.
Speaker 5: Well, but it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1: It matters to me, honey, It matters to me. A
man's got to know where he's going.
Speaker 5: Well, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 6: Just just give me a chance to make it. I
just want to make sure that I'm not going to
let you down.
Speaker 5: All right, Malieve if that's what you want, know you're
what I want. I love you. Money. You could never
let me down. Money, Yes, dear? What was the score?
Speaker 1: Sixteen to nothing?
Speaker 5: Oh? You're a fine pitcher.
Speaker 6: There's a tailor in Chicago who gives a suit of
clothes to every ballplayer who hits the scoreboard in the
center field. As of yesterday, the New York Yankee is
the best dressed team in baseball.
Speaker 4: Monty pitched six ball games for Omaha, one of them
all three shutouts. That was good enough for Jimmy Dikes.
He brought Monty back to the White Sox, only this
time a girl named Ethel tagged along because now she
was Missus Morley Strackon that night, a few of the
boys give him a little party at the hotel.
Speaker 1: Just proves what I've been saying. How could a guy
like you country get a guy like that?
Speaker 5: Oh it wasn't easy, mister Lyons. I just wouldn't take
no for an answer.
Speaker 1: Oh she's pretty tad, but she's not very smart. Uh huh,
Here come the bombers.
Speaker 5: Bombers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a few of the Yankee players know. This is
what they look like, honey, when they're just savillian and
I have fellas. Yeah, I guess you know everybody. Oh,
this is Monty Stratton. Stratton is Bill Dickey, mister Dickie,
Missus Stratton how do you do I met you earlier
this season, didn't we? Stratton Man, you met me and
everything I pitched. It's nice to have met you, missus Stratton.
Speaker 5: Than you Why e's awfully nice?
Speaker 1: Well? Wait, do you see him tomorrow? Honey? They don't
call him the Bombers for nothing. Why some poor guys
going to have a rough afternoon? Yeah, it could be,
by the way, Barney, whose dyke's going to pitch tomorrow?
You who me? A couple of the boys have sore
arms ethel Yes, dear our baggage? You unpacked anything yet?
Speaker 5: No, not yet, don't.
Speaker 4: Next day was Monty's real starter as a big league ballplayer.
Marty won that ball game all by himself, even the
driving in the wooden run. And that's just about the
way it went all the rest of that season, Not
that he won every game, but from then on the
fans knew that Marty's Stratton was just about as fine
a picture as hc in the league. In October, Marty
and Apple went down to the farm.
Speaker 1: Well, now you'll call off your talk, ma'am. I'm selling
some books here.
Speaker 7: Like Shanty oh Man six. I didn't even know your
son new clothes and all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the only thing. Oh Ma, here's apple.
Speaker 7: Hell yeah, so it seems to me, son, you've been
running over with luck.
Speaker 1: I sure have got a new car too. Oh yeah,
bought myself a bucket of bolts.
Speaker 6: Oh Eddie, Ernie, haughty money hatty apple, that's my cousin, Ernie.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for Ernie. I never get left here.
Speaker 5: Hello Annie, ma'am.
Speaker 10: Here you're pitching good money. Well, don't tell me you're
a fan. Nope, just heard about it. Well, I guess
you won't be needing me anymore money. Well, I sort
of wish should stick around.
Speaker 6: Ernie got a lot of things he could fix up
around here. Always always mancheres to man and some French
paint maybe, and then maybe maybe better build one of
those nursery rooms. You leave your mouth open like that,
more you're liable to catch your flying.
Speaker 1: Yah.
