Biography

John J. McGraw says (on Shrecongost signing a new contract with Connie Mack and being forced to room with Rube Waddell): “No, Connie,” said Schreck when he showed up to sign his new contract, “I won’t sign it unless you put in there that Rube mustn't eat crackers in the bed.

But for a whole week last year I woke up with elephants’ tusks and cowhorns stickin’ °tween my ribs.” Connie Mack gravely inserted the clause and Ossie signed.
