科尔尼（Kearny）的战斗可能比球场上的任何人都要多。他曾在墨西哥担任骑兵队长。曾以年轻的热情说，他会伸出手臂来领导对敌人的骑兵指控。几天后，他以确切的价格达成了自己的愿望，带着闪烁的军刀带领狂野的疾驰，失去了左臂。他曾经告诉他的仆人：永远不要失手；它使戴手套太难了。
(Kearny had probably seen more fighting than any man on the field. He had served in Mexico as a cavalry captain; had remarked, in youthful enthusiasm, that he would give an arm to lead a cavalry charge against the foe. He got his wish, at the exact price offered, a few days later, leading a wild gallop with flashing sabers and losing his left arm. He once told his servant: Never lose an arm; it makes it too hard to put on a glove.)
