Both pitchers had warmed to their work, however, and runs were likely to be a scarce article from that time on. When Scranton was going into the field for the beginning of the eighth inning, the vast crowd settled down for an interesting close, because when two teams are as nearly matched as these seemed to be, it is a toss-up which will win the game.
One often feels as if it must have been, as the saying goes, a toss-up whether the London Magazine or some personal friend got a particular composition; whether it was issued to the public direct or waited for Serjeant Talfourd to collect and edit it.
To be sure, I knew nothing of the subject and do not even now know whether the young gentlemen of classic Rome or Greece made verses to the same extent or whether the young gentlemen of any country ever did. "I haven't the least idea," said Richard, musing, "what I had better be. Except that I am quite sure I don't want to go into the Church, it's a toss-up." "You have no inclination in Mr.
But weight does not always count for everything, even in a football match. "Time for practice is up!" came presently, and the two teams drew away from the gridiron. Then there was a toss-up for goals, and Pornell won and took the east end, that which was most favored by the slight breeze that was blowing. And then the great game began.
Now, given a friend, to whom you are very warmly attached: it is a toss-up whether your affection for your friend shall make you, Quite blind to his faults; or, Acutely and painfully alive to his faults.

Now, my friend shot him" and it was a toss-up who was the more keenly interested, the real boy or the man-boy, as picture after picture came out and bear adventure crowded upon the heels of bear adventure.
I must tell you how it all happened. As all my life I have never been able to comprehend the division of time, and it's a toss-up whether I distinguish day from night, I turned my back on the best hotel in Havre, and stopped at one nearest the wharf, from whence I could see the smoke-stacks of the Ontario, about to sail for New York.

I tell you all this, dear, in justice to the man; and so, exit Bagley. As I said, my secret our secret is safe with him. So it is, of course, with Miss Hill and Larcher.
It happened that Jack's side lost on the toss-up for corners, and he got into the ring, where his play showed better than it would have done on the corners.
