“Oh, yes. We’ve given in to them on lots of points, and it’s no more than fair that they should concede something to us.”
“Do you think they’ll all decide on Tonoka Park as the place to hold the games?”
“I’m almost sure of it. It’s big enough, and will hold a good crowd. That’s what we want so we can get plenty of admission money. Boxer and Fairview are in favor of Tonoka, and so are we. Exter will have to agree with three against her.”
“They had rather stiff nerve to want the contests to come off on their grounds.”
“Yes, but I don’t anticipate trouble there.”

“That’s good. Say, I hear that Shambler is doing well on the mile run.”
“Yes,” admitted Tom shortly. “He’s a good runner.”
