"Prescott has met his match to-day," remarked Ted to a friend. "These Norths will bother you, too, won't they, Ted?" "Us? No; not a bit. We can play all around the Norths. But Central will have to take third place when the series is done." "The Centrals haven't got rattled and skulked, have they?" called Hi Martin at last. A disdainful yell came back from the assembled Central boys.
In every one of these states the Women's Trade Union League has first of all provided an opportunity for the organized women of different trades to come together and decide upon a common policy; next, to coöperate with other bodies, such as the State Federation of Labor, and the city centrals, the Consumers' League, the American Association for Labor Legislation, and the women's clubs, in support of such humane legislation.
A number of state federations, especially in the Middle West, not a few city centrals, and some sixteen national unions, have officially approved of the Socialist programme, but the Federation has consistently refused such an endorsement.
The principal of the South Grammar, too, was there, flanked by rough-and-tumble Ted Teall and the South's baseball delegation. Captain Ted had to play the Centrals on Saturday, and he wanted to view their style. Though North Grammar was well represented, the principal of the school did not appear, being "detained by pressure of important duties."
"If you watch, you'll see that the luck of the Centrals depends a lot on the way they run the bases. Whew! They go like greased lightning when they're sprinting around the diamond." "Well, why shouldn't they run?" demanded Hi. "Prescott and his fellows have been running every day since the snow went away." "I wish our Norths had been running all the time, too," sighed Bill.
It has been a movement coming from "on top," not from the masses of the laborers themselves. Hard times and defeats in strikes have not very prominently figured. Instead of a movement led by local unions and by city centrals as had been the case practically in all preceding political attempts, the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor now became the directing force.
I came along into the thick of these fellows; they were yelling out all sorts of things 'East Rands, 'Oroyas, 'Lake View Centrals, and what not, but these went in one ear and out the other. If there ever was a man with no stomach for the market it was me. But then someone roared out: "'At seven-eighths, sell Rubber Consols! Sell five hundred Rubber at seven-eighths!
"It's four twenty-seven," announced Hi, consulting his gold watch. "Four twenty-five and a half," corrected a Central boy. "Go get your watch fixed," retorted Hi scornfully. "And some one else run and see if he can find out where the Centrals are hiding." "Here they come!" yelled one excited Central boy. "Whoopee! They will answer for themselves!"
"I can't see that the Central Grammars are doing such a lot of a much," grunted Hi Martin to a High School boy. "The Centrals are playing fine ball," retorted the High School boy. "The only trouble is that the Souths rank pretty close to them." "I'd like to play both teams again," asserted Hi. "All that happened to us was that we struck a few flukes when we played."
"You haven't won them yet," retorted Dick. "The Centrals will keep their own jerseys and wear the G.C. by right of conquest." "Perhaps they will, and perhaps they won't," muttered Hi Martin angrily to himself and Tom Percival. Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, the entire team of the Central Grammar met at Dave Darrin's house. In the front yard they waited for their captain.
