Again the fielder had no trouble in reaching it ere it fell to the ground, and Grant scooped and held it while running lightly forward. "He hit it out, sure enough," chortled Cooper. "Rack, you're ruined financially busted wide open." Still Herbert seemed unruffled, continuing to smile. "If I lose," he said, "I can stand it." "But I can't," muttered Roy Hooker beneath his breath.
Bang! the ball had come on again, and Fred had hit it with all of the force at his command. It shot past second base and toward centerfield. "Run! run!" yelled Frank, and the crowd joined in, as Dick started for home, followed by Forwell and Tom. The center fielder fumbled the ball, and the four runners came in one right on top of the other. "Putnam Hall has won!"
Then he wound himself up into a knot, slowly unwound, and swinging with effort, threw for the plate. Burt's lithe shoulders swung powerfully. The meeting of ball and bat fairly cracked. The low driving hit lined over second a rising glittering streak, and went far beyond the center fielder. Bleachers and stands uttered one short cry, almost a groan, and then stared at the speeding runners.
We were all very sorry for her, as there is much that is very agreeable and likely to attract her in Mr. Fielder, and she always had too much mind to be wasted in such a life as she leads here. It seemed as if Laura was a comfort to her, and Lady Kilcoran was very anxious we should stay as long as possible.
Fielder said he would cut out as good a face out of an old knob of apple wood, and the doctor in petticoats came up again; he got into one of his rages, and they had no end of a shindy, better than any, they say, since Lake and Benson fifteen years ago; but Ward was in too great a passion, or he would have done for Fielder long before old Hoxton was seen mooning that way.
Then it was seen that an English fielder was standing on the very edge of the field with his back on the ropes, a white figure against the black line of the people. He stood watching the mighty curve of the ball, and twice he raised his hands together above his head as he did so. Then a third time he raised his hands above his head, and the ball was in them and Bonner was out."
The boys sat round upon the grass; behind them were the carriages and coaches you could drive on to the ground then! and here and there, only here and there, a tent or a small stand. Consule Planco the parson loves a Latin tag the match was an immense picnic for Harrovians and Etonians. And, my word, you ought to have heard the chaff when an unlucky fielder put the ball on the floor.
Curly looked over the field, glanced carelessly at the runner, turned, and sent a swift, straight ball over the plate. Durham's players were eager for just that sort, and the batsman made a long, clean hit into the outfield between first and second. When the new pitcher got the ball again the man on second had gone to third, and Durham's left fielder was jumping about on first.
And gallantly those others backed us up, for at the sound of my whistle, young Acutt a fine, athletic young giant dashed out of the cabin and, without paying any attention to the writhing and struggling quartette in his way, dodged us and rushed forward to the galley to prevent cookie from interfering, while Fielder, Boyne, Pearson, and Taylor the other four young griffins rushed with equal celerity to the support of the doctor, Briggs, Carter, and myself.
The centre fielder must back up second base on all throws from the catcher, and also on throws from any other position, whenever possible. On throws from the direction of first base he will be assisted by the left fielder and from the direction of third base by the right fielder.
