idn't see much ball playin' of any kind. All I got to see wuz about fifty or sixty ambulances, and I think about that many surgons and phisicians. Wall, from what I could see of the game I calculate they needed all of them. I saw one feller and 'bout fifty others had him down, and it jist looked as though they wuz all trying to get a kick at him. They had a half back and a quarter back; I suppose when they got through with that feller he wuz a hump back. Anyhow, if that's what they call foot ball playin', your Uncle Josh don't want any foot ball in his'n. I never played but one game of ball in my life that I kin remember on, and don't believe that I ever will forgit that. You see it wuz along in the spring time of the yeer, and the weather wuz purty warm and sunshiny, and the boys sed to me, "Uncle, we'd like to have you help us play a game of base ball." I sed, "Boys, I'm gittin' a little too old fer those kinds of passtimes, but I'll help you play one game, I'll be durned if I don't.  A GAME OF FOOTBALL WELL NOW I MUST SAY I DIDN'T SEE MUCH BALL PLAYIN OF ANY KIND ALL I GOT TO SEE WAS ABOUT FIFTY OR SIXTY AMBULANCES AND I THINK ABOUT THAT MANY SURGEONS AND PHYSICIANS WELL FROM WHAT I COULD SEE OF THE GAME I CALCULATE THEY NEEDED ALL OF THEM I SAW ONE FELLER AND BOUT FIFTY OTHERS HAD HIM DOWN AND IT LOOKED AS THOUGH THEY WAS TRYIN TO ALL GIT A KICK AT HIM THEY HAD A HALF BACK AND A QUARTER BACK I SUPPOSE WHEN THEY GOT THROUGH WITH THAT FELLER HE WAS A HUMPBACK ANYHOW THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL FOOTBALL PLANNED YOUR UNCLE JOSH DON'T WANT ANY FOOTBALL IN HIS'N I NEVER PLAYED BUT ONE GAME A BALL IN MY LIFE THAT I CAN REMEMBER ON AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I EVER WILL FORGET IT YOU SEE IT WAS ALONG IN THE SPRING TIME OF THE YEAR AND THE WEATHER WAS PRETTY WARM AND SUNSHINY AND THE BOYS SAID TO ME UNCLE WE'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU HELP US PLAY A GAME A BASEBALL I SAID BOYS I'M GETTIN A LITTLE TOO OLD FOR THOSE KIND OF PASTIMES BUT I'LL HELP YOU PLAY ONE GAME I'LL BE DURNED IF I DON'T
