Mildred and Gordon went to Chat

were Mrs. Sheppard and Elmer and
Gray, GOrdOn's superintendent, VINO

At 4 o'clock that afternoon Gordon

delighted At a very fancy price Cor

Who could remain passive under the
stress of that game? As inning after
inning wore on, Gordon found he was
hardly able to control himself. He
longed to be out on the field to help,
II possible, the red-legged players he
did not know-to help the club that
had paid the unheard Of price of $50, -
600 for his services. Mildred noticed
his agitation.

smile, do you crave a piece of

Her eyes sparkled as she nodded
brightly.
Gordon hurriedly left the box and
leaned over the rail that separated

ent captain of the Red SoX, who
stood near the bench.
Something in the mans manner

away from the plate.
Wagner ran back to the bench,
reckoning to Gordon as he ran. Cor

being unnoticed in the excitement of

the dugout by the Red Sox captain.
