But the last announcement was given no heed by the supporters of the blue—at least by the players themselves, the substitutes, and Joe Matson in particular. A murmur went around.

“After the work Baseball Joe’s done too!”
“Why, Weston isn’t in form.”
“Oh, he’s practiced hard lately.”
“Yes, and he was doing some hot warming-up work a little while ago. I guess they’ll pitch him all right.”
“He must have put up a kick, and Hasbrook gave in to him.”
“It looks so, and yet Horsehide generally doesn’t play a man unless he can make good. That’s Yale’s way.”
