The lock of the arm at the back of the neck, those holds known as the Nelson and the half-Nelson, and the ancient "hip lock," and the ineffectual schoolboy "grapevine" he would none of things so crude, and slipped out of them like a snake.
A ponderous fist cracked home between his eyes, fairly lifting him from his feet and hurling him against the base of the wheelhouse. Then a forearm shot under his shoulder and a hand fastened on the back of his neck in an incomplete half-Nelson. As McTee applied the pressure, Harrigan felt his vertebral column give under the tremendous strain. He struggled furiously but could not break the grip.
Jumbo wandered around on his knees, feinting for another Half-Nelson, and making many false plays to throw Ware off his guard.
Mike got a half-Nelson over in the east-half-east quarter-section of the buck's mouth and throwed his weight on the pliers. The Injun had pretty well wore himself out by this time, and when he felt those ice-tongs he just stiffened out an Injun's dead game that-away; he won't make a holler when you hurt him.
Time after time he spun Chick out of his defense and bore him down into a hold of death. And each time Chick somehow wriggled out, and saved himself by a new hold. The struggle became a blur muscle, legs, the lust for killing and hatred. Twice Watson essayed the offensive; first he got a hammer lock, and then a half-Nelson. The Bar broke both holds immediately.
"'Mebbe he knows dat, mebbe you knows dat; but how does I know dat? yells Fuzzy. 'Dat gun suttenly looks big to me. "About this time the other coon got wise and saw the five hundred vanishing, and the last I saw of Merritt he was trying to break a half-Nelson that the coon had got on him and dodge the rest of the crowd at the same time. I left St.
Then we had Claribel Montrose in select recitations. She was all the money. Claribel grabbed "The Wreck of the Hesperus" between her pearly teeth and shook it to death. Then she got a half-Nelson on Poe's "Raven" and put it out of business. Next she tried an imitation of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. If Juliet talked like that dame did no wonder she took poison.
And when you hurt a Wop's vanity it's time to get a half-nelson on your night-stick!" They separated, Dolan starting down the garbage-strewn side street to chase a few noisy push-cart merchants who, having no other customers in view, had congregated to barter over their respective wares. "Beat it, you!" ordered Dolan. "This ain't no Chamber of Commerce. Git!"
If we take swords I may get a hack at ye, but if we take a half-nelson lock 'tis even money I have ye'er back broke befure th' polis comes." "I can see in me mind th' day whin explosives'll be so explosive an' guns'll shoot so far that on'y th' folks that stay at home'll be kilt, an' life insurance agents'll be advisin' people to go into th' ar-rmy. I can so. 'Tis thrue what Hogan says about it."
"True," said Jeems. He rolled over on his hands and knees. Bert took up a similar position by his side. "Go!" shouted Hench from the window ledge. At the word, the two on the mattress turned and grappled each other fiercely, half rising to their feet in the strenuousness of endeavour. Jeems tried frantically for a half-Nelson. While preventing it the wily Bert awaited his chance for a hammer-lock.
