“Possibly you will. We’ll give you a game right after the close of college, as soon as you like. I’d like to make arrangements for the game while in Baltimore. Of course, it’s possible your team will not play us, but we’re very anxious, and you shall have our first game together, if you’ll take it.”
“Why, I wouldn’t be surprised if it might be fixed that way. Are you going to challenge us?”
“Hadn’t thought of making it a challenge. Just fancied we might arrange a meeting, that’s all. Still, if you think we’d better make it a challenge——”
“I don’t suppose it will make any difference. How long will you remain in the city?”
“Until the day after to-morrow.”
“Well, I’ll introduce you to our manager to-morrow, and you can see what you can do. I’ll urge him to make the game with you.”
“Do! Who’s your coach, Abercrombie?”
“He’s one of them.”
“Good man. No one in this country knows more about the game.”
