"I'm on the Scrub," replied Fudge, untroubledly. "Bet you I could have done as well as Thad Brimmer did, though. How was the Springdale game, Lanny?"

"Pretty good," Lanny replied absently. "Six to nothing, Springdale. Well, I must be getting on. See you later, Chester."

Chester nodded and Lanny went out. "He feels pretty bad about it, I guess," said Chester.
