“I understand,” spoke the quarter-back. “But who sent this warning?”
Sid was eagerly examining it, for Tom had pasted the torn pieces together.
“I have it!” cried Sid. “Langridge sent this!”
“How do you know?” came from Phil and Tom at once.
“Because that’s the kind of paper he uses. It has a peculiar water-mark. I’ll show you. I have an old baseball note I got from him last term.”
Sid brought out his note. The two were compared. The paper was exactly similar, and there were even some characteristic similarities in the writing, though one was in script and the other printed.
“Langridge sent this,” decided Sid, and the others agreed with him.
“Then who sent the fake telegram?” inquired Phil.
“Gerhart, for all the world!” exclaimed Sid. “The cad! To play such a brutal trick!” Sid caught up his cap.
“Where are you going?” asked Tom.
