  a Dutchman!"

13 "Hey! catch it!"

14 "If you know any-

thing about ball,
you might come
over to the lot 
and choose up 
    sides."

15 "Maybe we do

need a little
  exercise."

16

"Come on and

choose up sides!"

17 Near the close of the game ...

18 "THROW IT!

 THROW IT!"

guy's got more curves
  than a stovepipe!"

     himself!"

you got there, boy!
I may be able to use
   you some day!"

big league ...

40 What the old moon sees ...

41 "Twas mighty good of

 you to let me see 
    you home ..."

42 "It's going to be

awful lonesome
with you away."

43 In the city of St. Paul - The awful portal of the Hotel Metropolitan.

44 "Say, can I go

inside this
  hotel?"

45 "It's the rube

busher. He'll
need a little
 breaking in."

46

 "I believe this is 
Mr. Benjamin Harding, 

the celebrated pitcher ..."

48 "Hydraulic pressure -

 seventy beats to 
   the second."

49 The Brownville Emporium, where all affairs of moment are settled.

remember.

52 "If you'll lend

 me a dollar 
  I can go."

53

Waiting to surprise 

their idol with a cheer

they have rehearsed 
   for days ...

54 "TAKE HIM OUT!"

55 "You're through!"

56 The months slip by and

the lesson of many 
hardships bring the 
prodigal's return ...

over to-night?"

can, son. I ain't
never got over 
missin' you."

  to identify.

61 Neal Webster endured as a barber because he can pitch a great game

    of ball ...

62 "You've got to arrange

to pay the four
hundred you owe
me. I want all the
coin that's comin' to
me for the game
with Centerville."

63 The morning of the game

that means everything
  to local pride ...

64 "Here's a nickel for

  your trouble!"

65

"Neal likely got cold
 feet when he heard

Centerville had a ringer

    in the box!"

66

"We might bring in 

Briggs from outfield!"

67 "Bat-ter-ies for

today's game!"

68

"It's Mazie I'm

thinkin' of, Ben!"

69 "I'll try."

70

"Ben Harding's 

now pitching for

 Brownville!"
