"Here are some old baseball things," said Mr. Morrison. "I got them in a
lot of junk I bought a year ago, and I've been wondering what to do with
them. I like the way you boys acted--especially some of you," and he
looked at Bunny. "I'm going to let you have these things for your team,"
he said. "But try not to break any more of my windows!" he laughed.
"We won't!" promised Bunny Brown. "Or, if we do, we'll pay for 'em!"
"Crackie! What dandy stuff!" cried Bobbie Boomer.
"Now we can have regular league games!" exclaimed Charlie Star, who was
perhaps the best player of all the boys.
