Blake caught a foul fly off the bleachers; Trace made a beautiful catch; McCord was like a tower at first base, and little Dean went through the last stages of development that made him a star. Once in the eighth inning Ken became aware that Worry was punching him in the back and muttering: "Look out, Peg! Listen! Murphy'll get one in Reddy's groove this time.... Oh-h!"
I don't think a woman ever yet caught a man by telling him what she proposed to do. It's a man's nature to pursue. He loves the chase. Let's watch this baseball game." With the greatest difficulty, she repressed her annoyance and anger. The game was progressing, and with Frank Merriwell in the box it became decidedly interesting. The second inning passed with neither side securing a score.
Merriwell came first to bat in the second inning, and he sent a safe single into right field, deliberately placing it, as was evident to every ball player present. Gordon turned green with anger, and then he became nervous. To add to his nervousness, Merriwell obtained a lead from first and stole second on his delivery, getting it easily.
Along about the seventh inning, the game waxed particularly exciting we were beside ourselves with enthusiasm. Fellow onlookers seemed even more excited they called out things they seemed to be calling in our direction. Fine parents we were there was Nandy, go-cart and all, bumpety-bumping down the grandstand steps. I remember again the Stadium on the day of the big track meet.
I don't want to give the figures now, because I want to keep them to back me up when I go to Albany to get the civil service law repealed. Don't you think that when I've had my inning, the civil service law will go down, and the people will see that the politicians are all right, and that they ought to have the job of runnin' things when municipal ownership comes?
Brain scored on a fly-ball to left. A double along the right foul line brought the second runner home. Following that the next batter went out on strikes. In the Philadelphia half of the inning young Burt was the first man up. He stood left-handed at the plate and looked formidable.
Again the game assumed less spectacular and more ordinary play. Both Scott and Wehying held the batters safely and allowed no runs. But in the fifth inning, with the Stars at bat and two out, Red Gilbat again electrified the field. He sprang up from somewhere and walked to the plate, his long shape enfolded in a full-length linen duster.
There had scarcely been a breathing spell for the onlookers in this rapid-fire game. Every inning had held them, one moment breathless, the next wildly clamorous, and another waiting in numb fear. What did these last few moments hold in store? The only answer to that was the dogged plugging optimism of the Denver players.
The Yale crowd is not doing any batting. All Harvard has to do is to hold them down, and they scarcely have touched Coulter since the second inning." "That's right, but the fellow is easy, Coll. If they ever should get onto him " "How can they? They are not batters." Pierson nodded. "That is true," he admitted. "They are weak with the stick.
The batting order was not the same, so it must be given as it came on either side: As the game progressed it became evident that Frazer was "pitching his arm off" in the endeavor to stem the tide of defeat that inning after inning seemed bound to overtake the Scranton nine, despite their most gallant uphill fight.
