The Bashful Boy

In Manhattan for the World Series, ex-Sportwriter Westbrook Pegler had lunch with some oldtime sport stars and felt a strange, sentimental feeling taking possession of him. Last week, Pegler told about it in an off-form column without a single word of abuse for anybody: "I felt a little bashful, a little estranged . . . wondering whose feelings I might hurt ... by failing to recognize him on the instant . . . and a little sad, too . . . Unquestionably, the champions are special. There is a style and a look to them. They wear greatness as a habit . . .

"I feel a little ashamed to carry on like this. Something just came over me. I will be myself again tomorrow."
