r victories, declared he was their mascot, and
called each one by his first name.

"Nothing at all. Just a little matter," he said, testily. "Young
rascal shouldn't have mentioned it. All it amounts to is that
yesterday I bought Baldwin's stock in this ball club. He's a disgrace
to the business. I made him sell out. I'm holding the stock for
Clancy. He can have it at the price I paid any time he gets the money.
Just bought it to get that crook, Baldwin, out."

He sat down amid a riot of cheering, while Clancy, who had not been
informed of the deal, arose and stammered his bewildered thanks, as he
strove to realize that a fortune had been thrust upon him. When the
excitement had died down and a toast to Mr. Lawrence had been proposed
and drunk standing, Betty Tabor, flushed, and appearing prettier than
ever, arose.

"Boys," she said, in her low, steady tones, "I have an important
announcement to make, one which, I believe, will please you almost as
well as the one we just heard did."

She hesitated and smiled down upon her future husband, who sat beside
her.

"Boys," she continued, after a moment, "I have consented to permit
Larry to play ball with you next season, if he will allow me to travel
with the team at least one trip."

Noisy Norton sprang upon his chair, his glass held aloft and cried:

"To the bride, the groom and another pennant."
