Shultz studied him for a moment and decided that the novice had better learn the vicissitudes of the business through bitter experience. John wasn't the kind to take advice, anyway. At last the green, one-horse cart pulled up by the delicatessen at the side of the old apartments. The boys crowded up to the wagon step.
The boys ran back to their positions and Carter called play. Perhaps a little delay had been helpful to the Rube. Slowly he stepped into the box and watched Shultz at third and Carl at second. There was not much probability of his throwing to catch them off the base, but enough of a possibility to make them careful, so he held them close. The Rube pitched a strike to Manning, then another.
The throw went wide, but Gregg got it, and, leaping lengthwise, tagged Shultz out a yard from the plate. One out. Two runners on bases. The bleachers rose and split their throats. Would the inning never end? Spears kept telling himself: "They'll score, but we'll win. It's our game!"
There's a late moon to-night, you see." "I wish I could go with you; this old leg " "Never mind now; don't worry. I'll take Bennie Shultz and make him messenger. If Thad's there you can get down to the drug store and call Willstown. That'll make our case sure. By cracky, old scout, five hundred! We can " "Chickens, old man; chickens. Hatch 'em first.
"You are Shultz Sergeant-Major Shultz!" he cried. "What ever became of you? What is it you know?" "Wait a minute, Hamlin," said Sheridan quickly, rising to his feet. "I can explain this much better than that Dutchman. He means well enough, but his tongue twists. It seems Custer met you once in the Shenandoah, and later heard of your dismissal from the service.
I called after him. "Saint Luke's!" he shouted, as they gathered speed. "You had better take her home now," I suggested to Mr. Shultz. "I am going to the hospital." "So am I," said the girl. "Tell mother," she directed at the German, as she started for the gate. "You'd better not go," I remonstrated. "I'll let you know everything as soon as I hear." She paid not the slightest attention.
Presently Sid appeared with the football, and they trooped towards the lot in a compact, determined little group. As they climbed over the railroad fence on the opposite side of the tracks, the "Jeffersons," who were as badly equipped as their rivals, greeted them defiantly. There was a moment or so of conference between Silvey and the Shultz boy before they tossed for sides on the field.
"Satchel carried, sir?" "How far is it to the hotel." John explained. The traveler should have left the train at the station three blocks to the south. But it wasn't so very far, even at that. "Shall I carry it for you?" he concluded. The man nodded jerkily and paused to light a cigarette. As they left, Shultz sauntered up and stood aghast at this invasion of his territory.
"Time," called Silvey, striving vainly to make himself heard above the exultant shouts. "Time, I tell you!" Captain Shultz of the "Jeffersons" drew out a watch, borrowed from a friend for the occasion, and compared it with the one in Bill's possession. The game was over and the "Jeffersons" had lost.
What were the channels of revenue by which the "Jefferson Toughs," Shultz and his ilk, made pitiful contributions to the family war fund against the enemies of fuel, food, and clothing bills? Shultz sold papers. Very well, John Fletcher would do likewise. If twenty papers were sold daily, a weekly revenue of forty-eight cents would come from that source.
