...William David Upshaw-but is commonly known as 'Earnest Willie.' He comes from the Bible-loving, liquor-hating region of Georgia, and like most cripples who do not become incurably bitter, he is an incurable romantic. When he was 18, he fell from a load of wood, hurt his back, remained for seven years in a bed constructed upon four tree trunks coming up through his house because vibration caused him agony.

He is not even particularly strong, but long hours spent in the practice of his profession have given this virtue: he is hard to hurt. He absorbs, without feeling them, blows that would decimate an ordinary citizen. He was not afraid of little Samuel Mandell, a street-shiek of 22 with oiled hair and a nice smile, who confronted him in a rainy ball park in Chicago last week. Mandell kept popping left jabs into his face; even...
