One of the great ball players tells of his rise to greatness from school days, to all-round star at the University of Illinois, then to managing the Cleveland Indians, to world championship. An authentic rags to riches yarn of a youngster whose confidence, conceit and capabilities might have made him an objectionable young brat to old ball players. But he had that something that made them notice him and give him a chance- and he made good in a big way.
