Of course, the sixth inning opened with the Stars playing only eight men. There was another delay. Probably everybody except Delaney and perhaps Healy had forgotten the Stars were short a man. Fuller called time. The impatient bleachers barked for action. Capt. White came over to Delaney and courteously offered to lend a player for the remaining innings.
But he had smiled bravely at her in spite of the trouble in his blue eyes. "Don't mind, Mums. It is all right," he had said steadily. "We've got to win. We can't risk my darned ankle's flopping. It's the bleachers for me. The game's the thing." The game had always been the thing for Phil.
The bleachers chanted eleven counts, the referee's whistle blew, and the game was done! The air for the wing of the sparrow, The bush for the robin and wren, But always the path that is narrow And straight for the children of men. Oh, it is excellent To have a giant's strength, but tyrannous To use it like a giant.
Twice in college he had sat on the “bleachers” and viewed indifferently the track contests between Yale and Harvard; he had had a patriotic desire to see his own college win, but he had been indifferent to the performance of the individuals. They had not been individuals to him—merely strange figures performing in an arena.
"If she only is," Matt almost wailed, "she'll never be permitted to clear with that German crew aboard. Pernambuco for orders! Suffering sailor! And you, of all men, to put over a charter like that! Pernambuco! Pernambuco! Pernambuco for orders! Do you get it?" "No, I don't. It's over my head and into the bleachers." "I must say, my dear Matt," Mr.
The innings swiftly passed to the eighth with Chicago failing to score again, with Philadelphia failing to score at all. One scratch hit and a single, gifts to the weak end of the batting list, were all the lank pitcher allowed them. Long since the bleachers had crowned the Rube. He was theirs and they were his; and their voices had the peculiar strangled hoarseness due to over-exertion.
The labour, too, which is necessary to produce any one complete manufacture, is almost always divided among a great number of hands. How many different trades are employed in each branch of the linen and woollen manufactures, from the growers of the flax and the wool, to the bleachers and smoothers of the linen, or to the dyers and dressers of the cloth!
I'd begin sthrikin' whin th' flowers begin to bloom in th' parks, an' I'd stay on sthrike till 'twas too cold to sit out on th' bleachers at th' baseball park. Ye bet I wud. "I've noticed that nearly all sthrikes occur in th' summer time. Sthrikes come in th' summer time an' lockouts in th' winter.
When he finally did locate the plate Bluett hit safely. Langley bunted along the base line and beat the ball. A blank, dead quiet settled down over the bleachers and stands. Something fearful threatened. What might not come to pass, even at the last moment of this nerve-racking game? There was a runner on first and a runner on second. That was bad.
Get off the diamond!" ordered Carter, peremptorily. "What? Me? Say, I'm captain of this team. Can't I question a decision?" "Not mine. Spears, you're delaying the game." "I tell you it was a rotten decision," yelled Spears. The bleachers agreed with him. Carter grew red in the face. He and Spears had before then met in field squabbles, and he showed it. "Fifty dollars!" "More!
