The Ghost Comes Calling
by Betty Ren Wright"When Chad Weldon stepped off the bus, he knew right away that something had happened in Bristol while he was away. For one thing, his father couldn't stop smiling. For another, his great-aunt Elsa couldn't stop frowning. The smiles and frowns continued all the way home in the pickup, while Aunt Elsa asked a million questions about what was new at his cousin's house, and Chad's father chuckled at the answers. Scrunched between the grown-ups, Chad tried to figure out what was going on. He noticed that they were talking only to him, not to each other. That meant the thing that had happened while he was gone was pretty serious. His dad and Aunt Elsa argued a lot, but they hardly ever stopped talking to each other. The silence between them was scary. That evening Aunt Elsa fixed chicken drumsticks and mashed potatoes, Chad's favorite dinner. It wasn't until they were through eating and the dishes were washed and they were sitting out on the front-porch steps that his father said, "Now, listen to this, boy. I've got a real surprise for you." ..." Chad could tell by the way Aunt Elsa sniffed

Rookies: Squeeze Play
by Mark Freeman"Clutch Hitter! It was the bottom of the eighth, the Elmira Sox down 3-0 to the St. Catherines Blue Jays. With two outs and the bases loaded, the Sox dugout was alive, screaming for a rally. "Now batting for the Sox . . . David Green!" the PA. announced. David dug in at the .plate and waited. The pitcher went into his stretch and fired low and away. Ball one. The next pitch was wildly high, forcing the catcher to reach over his head to grab it. Ball two. "They're gonna walk him with the bases loaded and give us a token run," gasped the Elmira coach, "rather than risk a grand slam!" David saw the next pitch coming, a waist-high fastball almost a foot off the outside corner of the plate. For anyone else it would be another ball. But it looked good enough to David. He went into his power swing and connected with a solid crack!"
