“Would you like to stay with us?” asked Harry, quickly. There was something in Teddy’s manner which was very attractive to him.
“Yes, I would,” was the blunt response. “But, but——”
“Let’s take Teddy along,” said Joe.
“All right,” came from the others.
“But I ain’t a member of the club?”
“That don’t matter, Teddy. You’re a member of the ball team, and that’s enough.”
“Especially after that home run you made in the game with the Silver Stars,” added Link, who was a great ball player himself.
“Then you really want me along?” And the Irish lad’s face lit up in a broad grin.
“Yes,—but you have got to do your full share of camp work,” said Joe.
“I’ll do more than my share.” Teddy did a few steps of a double shuffle on the ice. “Say, this just suits me to death! Come on!” And he began to pull on one of the sled ropes with great vigor.
