“That he is the crank type of criminal,” replied Tom. “He evidently hates everyone who is rich. Durant’s playing gave him an excellent opportunity to voice his hate and perhaps do some damage to the son of a rich man.
“By the way!” he exclaimed. “When does Durant pitch again?”
“I—I don’t know,” said Jimmie.
“Phone your father and ask him.” Tom’s tone was eager. “It’s important.”
Jimmie took down the receiver. A moment later he announced: “He pitches next Wednesday.”
“Hm. Five days from now. We may have our man by then and we may not. Anyway it’s well worth knowing.”
“Why is that important?” Jimmie asked.
“Because this Silent Terror might repeat his performance at the ball park at the first opportunity.”
“That’s right! He is!” Jimmie exclaimed. “And then you can nab him.”
“That’s it,” said Tom. “And for that reason, I suggest that no story be given to the Press regarding your discovery.”
