Suddenly someone interrupt-
ed him.
"Maybe you consider this too
personal a question, Paul, and
maybe you don’t care to an
swer-it," -anid the man, "but is
it true you used to keep a bot-
tle in your locker?”
Waner’s blue eyes flashed fpr
a split second and his reply
was immediate.
"I never did that in my life.”
he said. *
"It’s true I did drink," he
went on, "but I never carried
a bottle with me to the bull
park. .
One Before The Game
"I don't know when it began,
but I somehow got into the
habit of taking a drink, just
one, mind you, before going out
to the park It wasn't a hard
and. fast rule. I didn’t do it ev-
ery day, but I did it enough.
"Nobody has ever bothered
to ask me why I drink. I'll tell
you why I did Toward the end
of my career I'd make sure to
have that one drink before a
ball game because of fear.
"That’s right, I was afraid.
I was afraid because my eye-
sight wasn't so good anymore
and I thought I might get hit
with the batt. You might say
I took that drink to give me
courage. I never liked"drinking,
though. Sometimes I couldn't
even keep it down."
Waner paused and there was
complete silence.
His listener had one more
question.

Bv MILTON At ICHM AN
NEW YORK (UPI)-This is
as good a time as any tn set
the record straight about the
late' Paul Waner and the oft
exaggerated legends pertaining
to the amount of alcohol. he
consumed in his hey-day.
Waner, one of thr" greatest
hitters in the history of base-
ball, died earlier in the week
at the age of 62 with his share
of, immortality already guaran-
teed because he was enshrined
in Baseball's Hall of Fame 13
years ago.
Maybe this should have been
written while he still was alive.
Waner said he certainly had
no objection, but somehow it
wasn’t and the only reason it
is being done now is because
it possibly might help some
kid coming up.
During mos of* his career.
Waner had the reputation of
being a drinker.
They’d tell stories of how
he'd come out to the ball park
with a bottle in his locker, or
worse yet, a bottle on his hip.
and how he'd go out and get
three or four hits in a game.
The stories made good read-
ing because after all, here was
a little fellow only five-feet-
eight and 150 pounds who col-
lected- 3,152 base hits during
his career, led the National
, League in batting three times
and finished with a .333 life-
time average.
Tall Tales Flourished
Those stories may have made
good reading, but the vast ma
jority of them were untrue.
Whenever you talked ' with
Waner, especially - during the
past few years, the subject in-
variably got down to one thing:
hitting. He knew as much
about hitting as probably any
man alive and he loved noth-
ing better Than to offer his
theories on it.
Paul was in the middle of
just such , a discourse not too
long ‘a go. •

"No, sir." shot back Waner.
‘I don't believe they would
know how to handle it and
I've often wondered how much
good it really did me.”
