He slammed his bat down and slouched to the bench. Duncan turned out to be the next easy victim. Four batters had not so much as fouled Ken. And Ken knew he was holding himself in that, in fact, he had not let out half his speed. Blake, the next player, hit up a little fly that Ken caught, and Schoonover made the fifth man to strike out.
Is it not a Jurgensen of the costliest brand? Well, then, we will count a full minute. "Hold still, Davy, pet." What is Congress and President now, as the wheeze settles on this child, and the north wind batters at the windows? The man looks for help to Esther. "Esther," he says, "I have counted 140 pulsations." "Is that bad for a child, David? I guess not." "I am probably mistaken.
Upon being resisted, he enforces collection with the armed hand. The sword and the pen, strength and intellect, no longer the exclusive servants or instruments of priestcraft, are both in open revolt. Charles the Bold storms one fortress, Doctor Grandfort, of Groningen, batters another.
When the Wayne batters went out in one, two, three order, and it was time for Ken to pitch again, he felt ice form in his veins. "Only six more hitters!" called Reddy's warning voice. It meant cheer and praise from Reddy, but to Ken it seemed a knell. "Am I weakening?" muttered Ken. "Am I going up in the air? What is wrong with me?"
Bo yelled for Dundon to take it and Dundon yelled for Harris. They were all afraid to try for it. It dropped safely while Jake ran home. With the heavy batters up the excitement increased. A continuous scream and incessant rattle of tin cans made it impossible to hear what the umpire called out. But that was not important, for he seldom had a chance to call either ball or strike.
Each mule batters frantically away as the wave strikes him, and the rattle of nimble and indignant hoofs on the iron bulwarks follows the wave along from one end of the ship to the other. One of the most arrogant and overbearing of the animals aboard is a ginger-colored mule stationed almost amidships on the starboard side.
The distinctive feature of rounders, and the one which gives it its name, is that when all of a side except two have been retired, one of the two remaining may call for "the rounder;" that is, he is allowed three hits at the ball, and if in any one of these he can make the entire round of the bases, all the players of his side are reinstated as batters.
The batters went on knocking the balls about, and scored thirteen more before the young lady's eyes. "Oh, dear!" said she, "what is that boy about? Why doesn't he bowl? They pretend he is a capital bowler." At this time Compton was standing long-field on, only farther from the wicket than usual.
I reckon it ain't our place anyhow, an' you'uns can fish thar as much as you please. My name is Jim Batters Batters they allus calls me and that's my brother Joe there." "I'm glad to know you, Batters," said Ned, holding out his hand. "You are welcome to your fishing ground. We are going away to-morrow anyhow. As for the quarrel we'll just let that drop.
"Hi! you chaps in thar!" whispered a gruff and unfamiliar voice. "Get awake, quick!" The words had a soothing affect on Ned's fears, and satisfied him that the visitor whoever he was had come in the guise of friendship. He drew a match from his pocket and rubbed it on his trousers.
