Strength like that, which tossed him like a chip in the clinches, was no new thing to him. He'd often been handled that way, with the same ease, by men heavier than himself, by Jack English, for example. And Holliday was heavier; he knew that he had given away pounds in the weighing in; that there had been crookedness at the scales, but he hadn't tried to prove it.
"The jurymen will not make any remarks!" "But, Your Honor we all agreed at recess there was nothing in this case," announced the foreman. "And now this testimony simply clinches it. Why go on with it!" "That's so!" ejaculated another. "Let us go, judge." Mr. Tutt's weather-beaten face was wreathed in smiles. "Easy, gentlemen!" he cautioned. The judge shrugged his shoulders, frowning.
Joe was beginning to seek clinches to save his wind. Jack, in parting them, received a sly blow meant for Sam. Like a flash, Jack's own experienced right jabbed Joe's stomach, sending him reeling back into his corner. The spectators howled in divided feelings. Jack, however, controlled the situation with a look. In the fourth round Joe turned sullen and refused to force the fighting any longer.
'I got my Chief to speak to the First Lord and the Secretary for War, and they are bringing Royer over a day sooner. This wire clinches it. He will be in London at five. Odd that the code word for a SOUS-CHEF D/ETAT MAJOR-GENERAL should be "Porker". He directed me to the hot dishes and went on. 'Not that I think it will do much good.

She perches up in the grand-stand with the rest of the enthusiasts, and when Kelly puts one over she stands up and clinches her fists, and waves her arms and shouts with the best of 'em. She has even been known to cry, "Good eye! Good eye!" when things were at fever heat. The only really blase individual in the ball park is Willie Grimes, who peddles ice-cream cones.
Outside of the factional clinches of the House and Senate caucuses the early days have little serious business. Presson's great hotel and the lesser lights of the capital's houses of entertainment were packed to their roofs. The State House on the hill sent sparkling radiance at night from all its hundreds of windows out across the snow which loaded the broad lawns.
Let us never doubt the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, but make up our minds that God is pleased with us, that He looks after us, and that we have the Holy Spirit who prays for us. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son. This sentence clinches Paul's argument.
The blistered, singed survivor touched a hand to his forehead and respectfully responded: "A carpenter by trade and nature, and allus was. I never see one happy day a-piratin' nor did I shed the blood of any human creatur'. With a bench and tools, you will find me a proper handy man in Charles Town." "That clinches it," cried Colonel Stuart.
Here advance a row of stern, unmitigable-fanatics, each of whom clinches his teeth, and grasps his weapon with a fist of iron, at sight of the temples of the ancient faith, with the sunlight glittering on their cross-crowned spires.
