Encyclopedia Brown And The Case Of The Carnival Crime – Donald J Sobol

Encyclopedia and his junior partner, Sally Kimball, were playing catch in the side yard. Sally was working on her curveball till a customer arrived. “If I’m going to win games this summer,” said Sally, “I need to have more than one pitch.” “Are you sure?” said Encyclopedia. “Nobody seems to have much luck against your fastball.” “True,” Sally admitted. “But if the batters wise up to the fact that that’s all I have got, sooner or later they’ll be pounding out hits.” “I’d say later,” said Chip Caswell, riding up on his bike.

“When it happens, I’ll try to get a few balls to add to my collection.” Nobody liked to collect baseball souvenirs more than Chip Caswell. He saved the ticket stubs from every game he’d ever been to. His baseball cards filled six shoe boxes. He might have had even more if his parents hadn’t complained that his hobby was taking over his room. He had collected signed balls, bats, cards, and caps from teams all over the country. “Did you hear the news?” he asked.

“Does it have something to do with baseball?” asked Encyclopedia. “I’ll say. There’s a new sports museum opening up in Idaville, and they’ve offered a spot in the main hall for a kid to donate something,” Chip said. “And you’re ready to give?” asked Encyclopedia. “Sure. If they pick something of yours, you get to have your name on a plaque for everyone to see.” “That’s pretty exciting,” said Sally.

“But why do you need us?” “The museum has put out a notice saying they will be examining donations at noon today. I figure there will be a long line of kids with stuff to donate. I want you to see what they have, and then tell me which of these I need to offer to make sure my donation gets picked,” Chip said. Encyclopedia looked at his watch. “It’s eleven thirty now.

I guess we’d better get going.” When they arrived at the museum, they got a surprise. There was no long line of kids. Only one person was standing there—Sammy Jackson. He was one of Bugs Meany’s Tigers. They were so slippery, the truth wouldn’t stick to them if you pasted it on with a bucket of glue.

“Where’s the line?” asked Chip. Sammy smiled at him. “You’re looking at it.” Chip shook his head. “I can’t believe nobody else came.” “Oh, they came,” said Sammy, “and then they left.” “Why would they do that?” Encyclopedia asked. “Couldn’t take the competition,” Sammy explained. “Once they saw what I was offering, they just disappeared.” “And what have you got?”

Chip asked. Sammy smiled. He took out a box and removed the lid. A baseball was sitting inside on a velvet base.
