“First Team outfield, now. Peterson? Meldrum? And how about Codman? He’s a bit young.”
“We ought to get hitters in the outfield,” suggested Sam. “Codman isn’t much of a batter, is he, Andy?”
“No, he isn’t. How about that centre fielder of yours, Steve? Wonson, isn’t it?”
“Jack Wonson, yes. He’s only fair, though. Joe Groom is a good hand with the stick. Why not put him in the outfield?”
“Might try him. That makes it Peterson, Meldrum, and Groom for the First. For the Second——”
“Codman,” suggested Sam, “and Simpson.”
“And Wonson?” asked Mr. Gifford.
“Give him a try,” agreed Steve.
“That fixes it, then. Better have a substitute infielder, though, for the First.”
“Temple,” said Sam.
