Yes, "The Case of the Hard-luck Boy". This one girl broke the first prize, so she intentionally lost. She "called herself a bookkeeper because she straightened the shelves in her father's bookstore after school." Therefore, she should have known "a word with three double letters in a row." Arty, the Hard-luck Boy, won first prize, the broken wristwatch.
