"Nothing but hockey in the air at present. Who's it from, Mr. Garrison?"

"Wrong in your guess, Bones. This is from the Castoff League!"
"What's that?" cried several in chorus, while looks were exchanged.
"The challenge is signed by seven names, and these constitute what they choose to call the Wanderer Hockey Team," continued the president.
Frank suddenly laughed as though he saw light.
"I don't know, Mr. President, but I've got a hunch that I could mention a few of the names on that paper," he remarked.
