Earl Quotes - page 3

The noble Earl, Lord Curzon, stated that he could not understand how it is that we, the Party who have always taken the side of people rightly struggling to be free, do not sympathise with Ulster. In all the cases that he named-Italy, Greece, and so forth-there was actual oppression and hateful misgovernment. No one says there is actual oppression or hateful misgovernment in Ulster. It is all hypothesis. (John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of Blackburn)
We were playing Pittsburgh, and our first baseman, Earl Torgeson, hit a deep drive to right. I don't know how far, but it went a long, long way. Clemente quickly retrieved the ball in the corner. Torgeson was on his way to third, and he was a pretty good runner, when Clemente threw the ball to third all the way from the right field corner on a fly and Torgeson was out by 15 feet. Torgeson felt a breeze go by his ear and knew he didn't have a chance. Clemente had the most powerful arm I have ever seen. View quote
