see bit of that he began get used you could
notice he commencing to find himself He could
focus his eyes what hit him, instead of just
looking blank; but he couldn't talk
"Hes enjoyin' it" Old Sleuth whispered to 3He
thinks he's havn' the dickens of wild time and it's
satsfyn the cravn', all right. We've picked out the
right lay"
Hadn't we better get him home pretty soon,
thought said, being little tired myself.
"We'l leave at eleven said Old Sleuth 3Thatn be
late enough for his first night, anyhow. How you
enjoyin' your evenn', Muggns?" he asked the Gran
berry Wonder
I'll can't tell you'll" gasped Muggins.
He didn't need to. We could see.
We went home with him at eleven sharp; but when
we left the roof had to shake him couple of times
to bring him back to Honestly he was so hypno-
tized by it all he acted if he asleep!
THAT was some time last night l said to him next
morning, up at the field.
"I-I hope didn't act countrifed or anything he
said, bushing "You see I'm not used to it, and I
didn't know"
aYou'r re getting on all right, said "a couple more
nights and you'll know the town like book"
@Are going out onight' he asked, as if he couldn't
believe such good news.
"Surest thing you know" said.
He couldn't even thank me, but just looked.
They brought Slipaway Jones back from the grave
for the game and he held the Dodgers up to the
seventh, when he looked like cracking; Hartigan put
in the Cranberry Wonder. They couldn't touch him,
while landed Rucker for three hits in the eighth
and pulled the game away More good luck because the
Cubs won out in the ninth over in Boston too.
@The Cranberry Wonder deserves a little extra fling
tonight" said Old Sleuth to "He's tchin for it
too Asked meif thered be any objection to him sppn
away by himself tonight, and said he didn't want to
bother you an me to tote him round town every night.
"Fne chance he'll have to sport round on his own
hook" said. am as keen to take of him as you
IL H.. 49,
if it kills me for want of sleep. What's tonght's
dalous program"
"Oh well rush him to show, and then maybe to one
of the tango paces-only not to keep him late
So that was what did, and Muggins took to it
even better than the night before; only when came
to get him at his hotel he tried little trick that
didn't work.
Honestly" he said @if you gentlemen don't feel like
taking me out this evening, you don't need to. 1
thought I'd just slip out an take little walk down the
street after supper by myself.
@Just plan exactly" said Old Sleuth, tipping me
the wink 1--WE always take little walk after supper,
and then go straight to bed
@Oh then, if I'm not going to keep you up" said
Muggins, putting on his hat
"You won't keep up l said.
"Weve got to watch this fellow tonight Old Seuth
said to me- "He's achin to get away from u.s. and
amt careful he'll give the slip
So hung to him like pair of leeches, and landed
him home little after eleven thirty safe when
took him out.
Next day Hargan didn't put the boy in at ALL pitch
ing Nelson the whole game after We piled up five
in the first two innings
II want to save him for tomorrow with the Cubs, y
he said. dts experiment; but I've got to do it.
Our only chance is to have him hold them the first few
innings and try to bat out few for ourselves. If they
get onto him. can put in Big Jim and maybe save the
day. By Thursday Harrison ought to be in shape
How's he actin?"
4Fretful, Boss" said Old Sleuth. 4Ne an Charley
