"Hello"
"Del?, this is Eddie Morgan, up at Burlington."
"Hey Eddie, what's up?"
"Well, I think I got a handle on our little gambling problem here. The kid Jones really got whacked by some of the older guys."
"Damn fool kid....how much did he get took for?"
Eddie ponders a bit. "Probably a months wages, plus most of his meal money."
"Meal money?"
"Yeah, dumbsh!t didn't eat for a couple of days, got his a$$ handed to him. That's how we found out he was broke."
Buchannan shakes his head. "Is there a problem here?"
Eddie laughs..."Naw, we got it under control....maybe he learned a little something, heh heh heh. Doubt it though. Dumb as a stump."
"Well, stay on it, from the reports you've been sending us, the kid may have a future."
Coach Morgan turns serious....."I tell you Del, I've been coaching since LaJoie in '96, this kid is one hell of a prospect."
Del: "OK Ed, I'll pass it along. Should we bring him up to Wilkes-Barre?"
Eddie: "Not yet, I think he needs to finish the year here....so's I can keep an eye on him."
"OK Eddie, whatever you think. Say Hi to Edna and the kids."
"Thanks Del, you take care. Bye."
