rumors of a powerful nine this year facing this unknown quantity ooach blndla decided to start with hla star twlrler on the mound the catcher for holbrook was announced as markham perry jenkins had appeared for practice as usual on friday afternoon but he was not with the team now lined up on the bench tn the holbrook dugout oant understand it the coach tbld those who questioned him he called me oh the phone at noon today and said he was ajuteqng baseball i went around to hla room to argue with him but couldnt and him anyway marfchams probably as good- the game began with the home team taking the field according to custom clark prescott walked slowly out to the box smiling confidently and accepted the new ball that the umpire tossed him the first milton batter was at the plate eagerly swinging his stick marxham gave the signal and clark nodded it was a signal for a straight ball and clark with perfect control sent one speeding across the plate the batter did not offer to strike but a strike was called on him the same signal followed and again clark nodded the ball was laced out for a clean twobagger that set the stands to screaming holbrook s pitcher was anything but phenpmenal ln his performance that day in the third inning he was jerked from the box with the score four to nothing in fnox of the visitors and a second airing pitcher took his place this ob scure person rescued the game from the fire and holbrook was victor by one point batted out of the box raged olark inwardly not able to believe that which hod happened was anything but a hor- i rlble dream me

out of bed at such a time he told himself but this thought did not detract him from his purpose fifteen minutes later clark was knock- tag softly on the door of another room ln another dormitory after repeating the summons three times he finally was invited ln a sleepy voice to welt a minute a fumbling at the look follow ed the swinging of a door and the two friends were together i want you said clark preaoott eagerly without wast ing time on polite formalities to catch for holbrook tomorrow parry jenkins eoretcbed hla scalp gave vent to a couple of deliberate yawns and shook his head tm a hammer thrower now he said decisively ktot interested in catching any longer bee you again some time maybe mr pres cott this obviously was a hint to leave and with drooping shoulders the pitcher moved slowly toward the door with his hand on the knob he turned and held out his arms appealmaly to the red- haired youth who was sitting on the edge of the bed perry will you catch tomorrow for me for old friendships sake perry jenkins stared moodily at the floor running his hands through his tousled red hair presently he looked up and something like a grta spread across his freckled moon face sure i will clark if you put it that way catch be did nothing waa remarkable about his performance behind the plate so far as the spectators were aware he was just a fair catcher doing a fair day s work but one of bis teammates had a different unorstandlng of the situation behind the plate perry jenkins gave the signal for an incurve clark preaoott shook his head many batters hod the habit of waiting on the first ball and he entertained the idea that this particular evans hitter was a waiter the catche insisted on a curve nevertheless and finally clark consented the batter struck and missed by a good six incuts he hit the ball later but it aas an cosy bounder and he ex pi rid hulfuny to first clark prescott came back that day his pitching waa fully up to par hits aere made but not when they counted ror scores several sbikeouts were chalked up to his credit he had perfect control his curves broke well and there was something else holbroook won by a core of seven to four as usual there was an end of the season banquet for the team that night at an evans hotel among the speakers uas coach blndle who spoke ln glowing terms of the seasons aocompllshmenli and waa particularly generous ln hb praise for clark prescott i was afraid for a little while said the coaoh that preaoott had gone stale lost his nerve or someuilni jtevefl thought he might have the welled head but today he delivered the goods and i want to tell you that x eonslder him the best college pitcher to be had ln this seotlon of the state lets hear a few words from him clark prescott stood up and waited for the cheering to subside his face waa pale but his eyes were bright the expression on his countenance waa strange usually pride waa written there now there was something almost apolo getic bis voice was low when he spoke but his words were firm and clear coach blndle and fellows ive been called a good pstcher x know i have control and some pretty fair curve m admit x had a bad oaae of swelled head for awhile x dldnt lose my nerve hut i lost something else and hi ten you what it was what x lost waa my brains fel lows they reside hi the head of perry jenkins over there when he quit the team they were not
