How about Sheffield? queried Bunny, joining the coach.
gpt
Has he come yet?
human
Sheffield's always two minutes late. He has seven miles to cover in that machine of his, but he generally waits till the last second. He glanced about anxiously.
gpt
We have nearly the entire squad here, and Ferris can play third if he has to, but I want Sheffield.
human
I might wait here, Bunny suggested,

That's the plan, Payton. I'll leave the uniforms and bat bag with you, too, and you can pile them on Ernie Langer's dray when he comes. Then you can ride with him to the station and keep him from going to sleep.
human
There are eight of us here who have worked together; nine altogether, counting Prissler, who is training to be a tenderfoot. If we all stay with the baggage, we can carry it to the station, in case Langer should be late.
gpt
Langer is coming, all right. But if I thought there was a chance of his being behind time, I'd let the squad carry the baggage to the station now. Still, your way keeps us from taking any chances at all. He paused to study his watch.

Remember, the train stops at 9:40 only to let off and take on passengers. You _must_ be there on time. At three o'clock this afternoon, when the game is called, I don't want to play with four or five substitutes.

We'll be there,
