Why didn't Bonfire try for the baseball team? Specs asked suddenly.
gpt
I've never understood that. He tried for everything else.
human
I don't know. Bonfire's hard to understand. But he had some good reason; it wasn't because he was afraid to try.
gpt
He's seen all the games and been at all the practices, said Specs, stretching his legs.
human
He has eyes like--like a fox. Do you remember that tip he gave me about the Dunkirk pitcher with his funny inshoot? But he hasn't even handled a baseball, not since Molly's picnic.

Now we can start. We meet the rest of them at the schoolhouse at nine-fifteen.

By to-night we'll be State champs, said the placid and confident Roundy.

I saw Molly and Mr. Sefton and Horace Hibbs scooting down the street in the Sefton automobile early this morning. They had streamers and pennants enough to open a store. I'm glad they are going to be there to cheer for us.

Everybody's gone, observed Jump, as they strolled down Maple Avenue toward the high school.

Seems a shame to leave the town like this.

Oh, there are some chickens and a couple of dogs and about a thousand pet cats left behind, Specs retorted.
gpt
They can take care of things. He looked up the street.

Hello! Prof. and the others are waiting for us at the corner.
