It would have been wonderful ball playing for a team to play on home grounds and we were doing the full circuit of the league. Spears had called the turn when he said the trip would be a hummer. Nan Hurtle had brought us wonderful luck. But the tricks they played on Whit and his girl-fan bride!
"Oh, these Quakers hate themselves, I don't think!" retorted Nan. Being a rabid girl-fan it was, of course, impossible for Nan to speak baseball convictions or gossip without characteristic baseball slang. "Stuck on themselves! I never saw the like in my life. That fellow Lane is so swelled that he can't get down off his toes. But he's a wonder, I must admit that. They're a bunch of stars.
Mind, I'm not responsible. Don't you go holdin' me responsible. In all my years of baseball I never went on a trip with a bride in the game. That's new on me, an' I never heard of it. I'd be bad enough if he wasn't a rube an' if she wasn't a crazy girl-fan an' a flirt to boot, an' with half the boys in love with her, but as it is " Spears gave up and, gravely shaking his head, he left me.
