...pictures by numbers and has progressed from primitive oils, reminiscent of bad Grandma Moses, to wild impressionism. Meany also taught himself to play the piano by ear and now has a console organ in his home. At night, passersby can sometimes hear him beating out Dixieland jazz and old Irish ballads. After three martinis, a solid meal and a good cigar, Meany may break into song, if the company is congenial. Galway Bay is the likely choice, or Cockles and Mussels...

That begins a whittling-down process designed to cut the number to a more manageable 100 by December when Boulac begins weekly jet tours. Dressed in a green "Irish" blazer, Boulac passes through an endless series of gyms and coaches' offices looking at film and meeting players, trying to identify 20 to 25 blue-chip prospects whom he should visit at home. It is there, around the kitchen table or the fireplace, that Boulac makes the big pitch...
