Up to that time the youngster had secured one hit*?!-1 more In every game, eight in aW, he had played in professional baseball. At the end of the eighth game he has been at bat 30 times and, had sec ured 13 hits. Then blooey! He jour neyed to the bat three ti pies in the ninth game and not a single hit did he get, the Montgomery infield knocking down on two occasions what appeared to be hits and toss ing him out at first.

After a time they saw him coming back The Gardners were a bit curious, as the story goes. as to why Frank made his mysterious trip home, but they said nothing at the time. “Well, me come to eat it," Frank informed. And eat it he did. After the last bit of the melon had been devoured with the ground j round about covered with seeds and rinds, the Gardners’ curiosity broke out in speech. “Frank, you’re welcome to the melon, but we’d like to know why you went home before you ate it?" they queried.
