Timmys wonderful world and thoughts
"He [James Garfield, 20th president of the USA] was full of animal spirits and he used to run
out on the green almost every day and play cricket with us. He was a tall,
strong, man, but dreadfully awkward. Every now and then he would get a
hit on the nose, and he muffed his ball and lost his hat as a regular thing.
He was left-handed too, and that made him seem all the clumsier."
[reminiscence of Rev. J. L. Darsie when he was a student at Western
Reserve Eclectic Institute, now Hiram College, in Ohio, and Garfield was
the school principal. Chicago Tribune, June 18, 1880, p.3]
