The horses' feet got balled with the stiff red clay exactly as though it had been snow, and from time to time as they galloped along, six fresh ones at every stage, I received a good lump of clay, as big and nearly as solid as a croquet-ball, full in my face.

The doctor balled the office out like everything for letting that girl up."

'N' say, O'Rourke's crazy an' can't do nothin', so he sent me t' fetch ye. You're d' only one as can fix d' police, so come on right now before d' whole show's busted up."
He balled his huge hands into tight knots and stared at the floor. "Now hear this!!!" A voice suddenly rasped over the PA system loud-speaker above the door.
