Here he was staring into a hole in
 the SLOW By Thornton w. Burgess Re1ldy's Plan Works Out

By Thornton w. Burgess
 Retldy's Plan Works Out A plan works out, 'twould sometimes
 seem.
 The opposite of what we dream.
 -Reddy Fox
 Certainly Reddy Fox never dream ed that his plan for catching Peter Rabbit would work out the way it Gid. You see, it seemed to be work ing just the way fe wanted 1t to. AS matter of fact, 1t was. There sat Peter, motionless, and around and around him walked Reddy Fox. Each circle that he made was a lit tie smaller than the one before. So, of course. each time that Reddy went around he was a little nearer to Peter. Apparently Peter was so curious over what Reddy was doing that the didn't see that Reddy was drawing nearer and nearer.
 Reddy was almost near enough 10 rush Peter. In fact, he was near enough. The nearest place where Peter would be safe, that Reddy could see, was the dear Old Briar- patch. This was too far away for Peter to get there before Reddy could overtake him. But Reddy wanted to take no chance. As long as Peter showed no signs of alarm Reddy would keep on walking around.
 Peter Is stupider than thought ? said Reddy. as he drew within three or four good jumps. 'The idea of letting me walk as near to him as this! Why. I'll have him before he knows what's happening. I'm no: more than three good jumps from him now. Hello. He's getting uneasy. He's beginning to get suspicious. It is now or never,"
 With this Reddy suddenly turned toward Peter and jumped straight at him. He wasn't but two good jumps away. Yet he didn't catch Pe- fer. No, sir, he didn't catch Peter. Peter had utterly disa ppeared. H lIdi blSd Dbtditl dss tOlIj pltltlN dS II he had never been there. You never in all your days have seer any one so surprised as was Reddy Fox. His plan had worked perfectly, but it hadn't en1ed the way he had expected if to. Here he was staring into a hole in the snow-a hole that he had forgotten all about. Some where down inside was Peter Rabbit. It was perfectly useless 10 dig. for beneath the snow the ground was frozen.
 Such foolish looking fox a> ReJdy was. He understood now why Peter Rabbit had been so u1con- cerned. He und orstcod now why Pe- ter had allowed him to get so near. Probably somewhere down below there Peter was laughing at him

losers scored once in the opening in
ming. but the Spring Casters took
the lead in the second and were
never headed thereafter. The Bear

dragging and lifeless.
In this regard, the following ccm-
ment was made today by league
official "All through the game the
crowd booed at the umpire's de-
clslons. making the game uninter-
esting and without the least bit Of
excitement. Not only in this game,
