"The difference is," answered Chester, "that they are willing the newspaper stuff should be published, but they aren't willing that we should see them play. And they can't keep us out if we have the money to buy tickets. You can talk your head off, George, but I know there is a difference."
"I can't see it!"
"It's there, just the same," muttered Chester.
"Well, let's agree that it is wrong, fellows; or, at least, bad form, a little underhand, a little ungentlemanly. Let's make a rule not to do it. We'll play it safe, in other words." This from Dick.
"That's all right if you can get the other fellow to cut it out too," demurred George, "but if he doesn't he's got a big advantage over us. I call that pretty crazy business."
"Oh, let's be crazy, then," exclaimed Lanny. "Fair sport is fair sport, but spying isn't! It's sneaky stuff! Let's call it off."
"Right-o," agreed Chester. "And I dare say when Springdale learns that we've stopped it she'll stop it too."
"She's not likely to believe we have stopped it," observed George dryly, "after seeing you two fellows over there this afternoon."
