CONFIDENTIAL
Press Conference #141,
In the Study of the President's Home at
Hyde Park, N. Y.,
September 5, 1934, 10.50 A. M.
THE PRESIDENT: Where is the Captain? (Referring to the captain of the
ball team which had played Lowell Thomas' team at Pawling the Sunday
previous.)
Q On the way.
Q We have discovered a way to beat them. We are going to put two left
fielders out there with gloves.
Q I will say you have to have gloves.
MR. McINTYRE: The best of that strategy is having Fred (Mr. Storm) in the
box. He can't hit.
Q I think we will play Stevie (Mr. Stephenson) on the fence all the time.
THE PRESIDENT: You are certainly good, getting over the fence.
Q (Mr. Stephenson) Wasn't I? And with my eye on the ball all the time.
That eighteenth time is what wrecked me.
THE PRESIDENT: There is only one way we can be sure of winning and that's
like in the old Harvard . the Crimson Lampoon games. You never had
a keg (of beer) on first; you had to earn that. But we did have a keg
on second and one on third.
Q How did you get anybody back to the home plate?
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, we had two kegs there. (Laughter)
Q Speaking of kegs, what did you feed Upton Sinclair?
THE PRESIDENT: Do you know what I fed him? Two long glasses of iced tea.
Q You must have had something in them.
Q He was babbling when he came back (to the Nelson House).
