"We have some unfinished business," remarked Archie. "We're going to take up this little matter with Mr. Carey before I sleep again." "Patience!" cried the Governor, now in high spirits though his teeth chattered. "It was his inning; he kept them from reaching Huddleston, but we don't want to waste our chance of scoring when we go to bat. Patience; and then more patience!"
Each year there were two planet-wide contests held, one for men and one for women. This was not an attempt at sexual discrimination, but a logical facing of facts. Inherent differences prevented fair contests for example, it is impossible for a woman to win a large chess tournament and this fact was recognized. Anyone could enter for any number of years. There were no scoring handicaps.
Burt lunged forward and upwards; the ball lit in his hands and stuck there as he plunged over the ropes into the crowd. White had leisurely trotted half way to third; he saw the catch, ran back to touch second and then easily made third on the throw-in. The applause that greeted Burt proved the splendid spirit of the game. Bell placed a safe little hit over short, scoring White.
There are passages of impressive tenderness, as in the incident of the approaching barge; of climactic force, as in the passage portraying the casting away of the trophies; and there are admirable details of workmanship. The scoring is full and adroit, though not very elaborate.
And that was the end of Marsh. He saw himself scoring at the rate of twenty-four an over. Off the last ball he was stumped by several feet, having done himself credit by scoring seventy. The long stand was followed, as usual, by a series of disasters. Marsh's wicket had fallen at a hundred and eighty. Ellerby left at a hundred and eighty-six.
He knew that it would be a task almost fit for demi-gods or giants to cut down the bed of what was a furious torrent, thick with grinding débris and scoring ice, and that only very strong bold men could grapple with the angry waters, amid blinding snow or under the bitter frost of the inland ranges in winter time. "The price is not too heavy, but I don't accept your terms," Savine said.
"What have you got?" asked "the old chap"; "your back tooth, or measles, or what?" "I've got a dodge for scoring off the Lamp-post." "Have you, though? You are a clever chap, I say! What is it?" What it was, Morgan disclosed in such a very low whisper to his ally that the reader will have to guess.
The one scoring the greatest number of points is the winner. An amusement for children on a train, or at home when it is raining, is the following, and it will help to while away the time. If there are several children, choose sides and appoint one to keep the count for his side. Each side sits by a different window and watches the passers-by.
Grant pitched fairly well in the seventh, but it needed the errorless support he received to prevent the enemy from scoring, Barville pushing a runner round to third before being forced to give up. Sanger, working hard, disposed of Crane on strikes, forced Grant to pop to the infield, and led Cooper into lifting an easy foul for Copley.
As I started off myself towards them I saw, with the corner of my eye, another brother of mine start in a run from the left field, and I wondered why a third, who was scoring, sat perfectly still in his chair, particularly as a well-known, red-headed tough from one of the mines who had been officiously antagonistic ran toward the pitcher's box directly in front of him.
