Autograph manuscript draft of a short story in pencil, titled and signed at the head, "Old Well-Well by Zane Grey," 26 pages, 8 x 12.5, with the first two pages indeed comprising the opening of the story 'Old Well-Well,' and the remainder for the story 'The Winning Ball,' two of Grey's classic baseball tales. The manuscript begins: "He bought a ticket at the twenty-five cent window, and edging his huge bulk through the turn-stile, laboriously followed the noisy crowd toward the bleachers. I could not have been mistaken. He was Old Well-Well, famous from Boston to Baltimore as the greatest baseball fan in the East. His singular yell had pealed into the ears of five hundred thousand worshippers of the national game and would never be forgotten." The pages are numbered 1-24, with additional insertions numbered 17½ and 22½. In overall fine condition, with light staining to the left edges of some of the pages.
