He hit the ground twice before he could throw a fast one over the plate, and Francis laughed at him. 'Well, says Sid, 'I guess I can learn before Saturday. I've got a book at home that tells all about it." "Maybe " said John, thoughtfully. "Maybe what?" "Maybe the 'Jeffersons' 'll make so many runs in the first inning that he'll have to quit.
Then Mary Jane she took another inning, and went in sweet and lovely again which was her way; but when she got done there warn't hardly anything left o' poor Hare-lip. So she hollered. "All right, then," says the other girls; "you just ask his pardon." She done it, too; and she done it beautiful.
In about the sixth inning of the last game, with the score four to two in our favor, the first two Chicago batters reached their bases. Kelly then hit to George Wright at short, who passed the ball to Farrell, retiring the runner from first, but Jack threw a little high to Start and missed the double.
Here was the end of the ninth inning, and the game was a tie! "Oh, Songbird! do you think Brill will win?" exclaimed Grace, anxiously. "I certainly hope so. We've pulled up pretty well. We had only two runs when they had five, remember." "Hasn't Tom pitched pretty well?" questioned Minnie. "Sure, he has! Those Roxley fellows are great batters.
When the doctors return for leave of absence etiquette forbids them to visit their old patients while their brothers are still at the Front; and the same rule applies to doctors who are stationed in Paris but are in Government service. The women are having a magnificent inning, and whether they will be as magnanimous as Madame Pertat and take a back seat when the men return remains to be seen.
The batsman was sweating nervously, but he couldn't help it. Dick Prescott had fairly forced himself into the form of the first inning. But it couldn't last. Gink! It was only a little crack at the ball, struck rather downward. A grounding ball struck the grit and rolled out toward right infield. There was no shortstop here. The instant that Prescott took in the direction he was on the run.
It was the third out, and Merry's team had not scored. "I'm sorry for you, Mr. Merriwell," laughed Sparkfair, "but we can't afford to let you have this game now. It would be simply awful after getting seven runs in the first inning." "The game is young," reminded Frank. Having escorted the ladies to seats, Gregory Carker deliberately placed himself at the side of Juanita Garcia.
More than that, what did I need of an outing? All the latter half of my life has been an outing, and an "inning" seemed more in order. Then, after fourscore years, the desire for change, for new scenes and new people, is at low ebb. The old and familiar draw more strongly. Yet I was fairly enlisted and bound to see the Old Smokies.
"The game is lost!" "Sure." "Yale has not scored since the second inning." "That's right. She made one in the first and three in the second, and then comes four beautiful whitewashes. Harvard hasn't missed a trick, and the score is eleven to four in her favor." "Lewis, this is awful!" "Right you are, Jones. Hear those Harvard rooters whoop up! It gives me nervous prostration."
He recalled the fact that Dick had come to bat in the ninth inning, with two men out, the bases full, and three runs needed to tie the score. Merriwell managed to connect with the ball after two strikes had been called. He drove it far over Barking's head, clearing the sacks and coming home himself, thus winning the game by a single run. That recollection was decidedly unpleasant to Spark.
