Stats Perkins got an idea when he
turned over an empty soap box in the
back yard one day. There was a

dered why was a cricket, anyway?
Then he wondered why it was black.
That gave him the idea.
Stats went into the house and got
the reddest paint he could find in his
big sisters water color box. He mixed
some, put it in an old cup. and drop
ped the cricket in. 1t was a mighty
red cricket when he put it back in the
box.
After he had fixed a cover on the
box Stats got all the boys who weren't
fishing or staying indoors to be pun
ished or splitting kindling or some-
thing. They could look at the red
cricket for five buttons, a marble. half
a slate pencil. or an empty bottle.
Stats called him 10 10.
Everything vent all right n Stats
had a half bushel basket full of things
until Fatty Sanders and his dog Spot
came. Stats had hired Cooney john
son. the colored boy from across the
railroad tracks, to help him take car
of Jo-Jo. They wanted to charge Fatty
double price because he was as big as
two boys. Fla said it wasn't fair.
Everybody was talking so loud that

ter's son. came. Pickle said he knew
a way to settle it. and he took Stats
around the corner of the house.
Pretty soon they came back.

Pickle told Fatty, but you can look

the cover off and he bent over to
look at Jo-Jo. Meantime, Stats had
picked up a good sized piece Of board
and got behind a bush right next the
box. The other boys We're all stand

I'm going to whistle an Stats will
hear it and raise up and wallop Fat

Just then Fatty raised up
II can't see nothin', Pickle" he said.
Il don't know what a Jo-Jo is. but 1t

Pickle bent over the box. 1t looked
as though the red cricket must have
crawled into a crack, for he wasn't
in sight. Pickle stuck his head way
down in the box. looking for him and
just then somebody whistled.
Stats rose up with his eyes shut
and brought that piece Of board down

and he yelled so that Slats's mother
came to the window again and told
them they would all have to go home.
Everybody said he didn't whistle
and Stats said he couldn't see who it
was because he had his eyes shut in
order to strike harder. Pickle couldn't
find out who did it, but he laid 1t to
Fatty. And when he got home his
mother spanked him again for hav-
ing his pants torn.

Notes of the Game

Bond, who divides his time between
Juggling the baseball and kicking in
with English las she should be spoke"
uncorked a brilliant play in the eighth
frame, when he ran about a block and
picked the ball off the toe of his boot.
Friend Bond also was there With the
mallet, registering four hits out Of as
many trips to the pan. Each hit fig
ured in the run column.
Chase also had the fever yesterday.
In the first frame. with two men on
bases. he speared a hard one behind
short, cutting off a couple of scores.
In the fourth frame. Altman chas-
ed himself back to the fence and grab
bed McCauley's high one out Of the
air.
In the nth. after being chased back
and forth between third and home
several times. Bond managed to dis
concert the Red Sox short stop and
the latter threw wild, allowing the To-
cal pedagogus to score.
