The game began swiftly and went on wildly. It ended almost before the Hill boys realized it had commenced. They did not know how they had won but they gave Daddy Howarth credit for it.

Rolling a baseball around in the same manner, pressing deeply though without strain, will afford an excellent form of massage for this particular purpose. The percussion treatment that I have suggested consists in alternate tapping or striking this region of the body with both hands.
Any one who is familiar with children, or with grown-ups, must know that it is only when interest is at a maximum that the effort put forth approaches the limit of capacity set by the individual's ability.

"You're forgetting your mitt," Don called. "I'm not going to the field," said Tim. There was something peculiar in the way he said it. Don looked inquiringly at Andy. The assistant patrol leader nodded toward the window.
Helen glanced at him in surprise. "What possible connection can those two things have?" she asked. "Oh, it's not a thing you can understand unless you've seen it. From the way you speak, I presume you've never seen a game of professional baseball." "No," Miss Maitland replied with docility, "I'm afraid I never have.
Well, if you'll not play us for a purse, will you play us with the agreement that the winning team takes the entire gate proceeds?" "Not in Wellsburg." "Eh? Why not in Wellsburg?"
