This story is of the "coming of age" variety, specifically a father / son relationship and the methods a man will employ to initiate his boy to the "ways of the world and flesh" not taught in classrooms.Baseball, horse racing and most importantly pool are part of this bonding / teaching tale. There are eccentric characters, theology and a mystery surrounding an auto's voltage regulator. I am grateful to The Literary Yard, (Founder and Editor, Onkar Sharma) the previous publisher of this short story under the title "Clarence and Sonia."
