“I had Charles Merriwell in my power a short time ago, and his son broke my grip and got him away. I must get him in my power again. I can’t do it while Frank Merriwell is here in New Haven, for his father will not leave the place now for a number of days, and it may be weeks and months. He fears me too much since that. Frank must be lured out of the city.”
“How are you to do it?” Dade demanded.
“Get him away on a ball-game, or some kind of game.”
“The football season is over.”
“There is a polo-team at New London.”
“Merriwell might play them if they would come here.”
“He must play them there.”
“He won’t do it.”
“He must be made to do it.”
“How?”
