Washington farmhands at St Augustine Fla The Knoxville Smokies of the Southern Association were training at Palatka Fla that spring and the late Col Bob Allen owner of the arranged some exhibition games with Abbott's Cubans at St Augustine I sat in the stands with CoL Allen and his son Edgar and watched the Smokies warm up for the game But when time arrived the Cubans refused to take the field An interpreter for the Cubans conferred with Manager Abbott We learned later that he told Abbott players have gone on a strike They say they are tired of eating hot dogs three times a day They say they play a lick unless you promise that they can have steaks for dinner After much wrangling Abbott agreed to the steak dinner propo- sition and the game proceeded The next day the Qibans struck again The game went on after Abbott again promised them steaks The same thing happened the third day That was the last game the Smokies had with the Qibans I know how many more times the players struck for steaks Some years later Abbott who was then managing Charlotte in the Tri-States League chuckled as he recalled the strike" by the Qibans got so they demanded steak dinners before they'd play any game" said Abbott were eating us out of house and home 9 we finally had to send some of them back to Cuba and farm the others exit to various clubs to break up their strikes" A-Mctat-a LAS
