What Happened to Wallace
Ted Slavin came over and shook hands with Paul. Smiling, he said, “Too bad we had to beat you, but someone had to win, Paul.”
“You deserve it; you played a fine game.”
“I can say the same for you. Ken pitched a marvelously good game. But what puzzles me is what happened to Wallace?”
Paul cast his eyes down. “That’s something that is puzzling us too, Ted.”
“What do you mean?” Ted looked concerned. “Did anything happen to him?”
“I hope not but we don’t know.”
“Gee, that’s too bad. Is there anything I can do to help?”
Paul shook his head. “I don’t think so. But if there is, I’ll call on you.”
“Be sure you do. If there is anything the boys and I can do, Paul, and you don’t let us know, I’ll be terribly angry.”
