It Happens Every Spring Page #3

Oh, but we can look!

Hallelujah, there it is!

The white precipitant.

Sure enough, there it is.

Oh, congratulations, Vernon!

Oh, my notebook.

My notebook!

[CRASH]

Oh. There goes everything.

Just when I had it.

Oh, Vernon.

Little brats.

No degree. No job. No nothing.

You still have your notes and everything.

It can't take long.

Long?

You don't understand, Debbie.

One of those compounds alone

took 5 weeks to crystallize,

and they're all in sequence.

I can't make the second until I finish the first.

And look at these notes.

You might get some idea of the time

and work it took.

Why, I ran some of those reactions

six and eight times before I got enough

stuff to make the next step.

Now I'm going to start from scratch.

Do it all over again, step by step.

It'll take months.

That wonderful precipitate.

It's all there in the sink.

Isn't there any way you can

filter it out and save it?

Oh, that's just a hodge-podge of compounds

and ice and everything else now.

You couldn't even figure out what's in there,

let alone filter anything out.

Well, I suppose I better clean up this mess.

Can't I help?

No, dear, you just run along.

as far as we're concerned.

You know that.

It's changed everything.

Darling, you mustn't feel that way.

Let me talk to you.

Please, Dear, right now-

All right. I'll see you later.

And that puts Chicago out front 4 to nothing.

And here comes Hank Rubella.

He's the 3rd pitcher Dolan's used today.

Jimmy doesn't look happy out there.

Pitchers are his big headache.

St. Louis has a great team.

Good hitting and fielding.

With one more top-notch pitcher

Dolan might cop that pennant.

Owner Edgar Stone would like to

buy one for him, too.

But first class pitchers are scarcer

than hen's teeth this year.

Stone can't buy one for love nor money.

Astonishing.

We're Scmidtt and Isabell, Sir.

You sent for us?

Oh, yes.

Yes, so I did.

You gentlemen are doing rather

sadly in organic chemistry.

I suppose you're aware of that.

Yes, we are, sir.

Well, I don't like to flunk you.

You're both on the baseball team, so -

I had assigned some special reading.

But instead I thought I might be able to

give you some pointers,

see if we can't improve your grades.

Say, that's mighty decent of you sir.

And, in return, I was wondering if you'd

do something for me,

and keep it strictly confidential?

Sure, we'd be glad to Mr. Simpson.

Certainly, sir.

Good. Will you meet me at the baseball field
