CHAPTER XIV
HARD WORK
The rooms of the ball players were all in one part of the hotel, along the same hall. Joe and Rad were together, near the stairway going down.
That night, their first in the training camp, there was considerable visiting to and fro among the members of the team, and some little horse-play, for, after all, the players were like big boys, in many respects.
Rad, who had been in calling on some of his fellow players, came back to the room laughing.
"What's up?" asked Joe, who was writing a letter.
"Oh, Campbell is still trying to get rid of that hideous tie we helped him purchase. He wanted to wish it on to me."
"And of course you took it," said Joe, with a smile.
"Of course I did not. Well, I guess I'll turn in. We'll have plenty to do to-morrow."
"That's right. I'll be with you as soon as I finish this letter."
