“Come on, Sam, get a move on. I thought you’d be out on the diamond long ago. What’s the matter?”
“Oh, I had to help dad put in some fence posts. I’m through now, Darrell, and I’ll be right with you.”
“Setting fence posts; eh?” and Darrell Blackney, the young manager of the Silver Star baseball nine of Riverside looked critically at Sam Morton, the team’s pitcher. “Well, Sam, I hope it didn’t make you stiff so that you can’t put some good balls over the plate. It’s going to be a hot game all right.”
