Dear Dr. Allen, I wish that you would consider this letter as an application for a position as a trainer or base line coach on the Kansas University baseball team. While in the united States Navy I played baseball on my ship's team up until the time I was injured. This injury resulted in the loss of my left leg, but of course, did nat detract from my knowledge or interest in the game. I am well acquainted with the rules of baseball as well as good playing. I have managed and coached sandlot ball clubs in my home town of Wichita, and may refer you to Mr. A.E.(Monk) Edwards of Wichita High School North for recommendation as to my ability. At this time I am wearing an artificial leg, with which I get around very well. I am sure that this disability would not hinder me from serving you and the team in a good capacity. I thank you very much for your consideration of this letter and am sure that if you can use me you will not be disappointed. . Awaiting your reply I remain, Respectfully, Mave K bed ice pe Glen R.

Iam now eighteen years old and ineligible for American Legion baseball. At this time I have worked out with the Tulsa Oilers, but they are now on a road trip. The manager, lr.
