It’s too “daggone” hot outside for baseball. So the boys head over to the Drug Store Soda Fountain for some ice cream. There they learn from High School hot-shot Tommy Lee Mason that “the mob” has been secretly sending a spy to the diamond to report back news on the weak spots in the boys playing.
While at the neighbor’s farm, Jimmy and Billy encounter the shock of their young adult lives. Later on, the boys discuss the risk of allowing T.J. to play ball against the ultra- racist likes of Jonas and his team. It’s either replace their friend T.J. or call off the game all together.
