"That's the form, Grant!" approved Eliot; and Springer chewed his tongue with envy. The third inning gave neither side the advantage, but Grant seemed to be swinging into shape; for, of the four hitters to face him, he retired three with an ease that made them look foolish.

Justly. Not you. Our deeds are the hard hitters. We learn when they begin to flagellate, stroke upon stroke! Suppose we hold a costly thing in the hand and dash it to the ground no recovery of it, none! That must be what your father meant. I can't regret you are a mother. We have a son, a bond. How can I describe the man I was! he muttered, 'possessed! sort of werewolf! You are my wife?

Could it be possible, I wondered, that after such a wonderful exhibition of pitching the Rube would lose out in the ninth? There were two Quakers on base, one out, and two of the best hitters in the league on deck, with a chance of Lane getting up. "Oh! Oh! Oh!" moaned Nan. I put my hand on hers. "Don't quit, Nan. You'll never forgive yourself if you quit.

"Steady all!" counseled the captain. "We're going to win, boys." But it did not seem so, when the first inning ended with no score for Yale. Princeton's pitcher was proving his power, and he was well supported. Man after man some of them Yale's best hitters went down before his arm. The situation looked desperate.

A team, to win, must have hitters as well as fielders, and it is therefore usual to fill up the outfield with good batters, even at the expense of a slight weakness in fielding. Considered simply as a fielder, the occupant of the left-field should have a good "eye" to "judge" a ball hit in the air.

Hard hitters these, as they are stubborn fighters; many a granite rock was split and shattered by their blows in reckless fight, so that its inner fleshy tints were shown and warmly gleamed among the gray-green rocks that dotted the plain, like the countless flocks of Thor.

Then Carl struck out and Manning following, did likewise. Three of the best hitters in the Eastern retired on nine strikes! That was no fluke. I knew what it meant, and I sat there hugging myself with the hum of something joyous in my ears. Gregg had a glow on his sweaty face. "Oh, but say, boys, take a tip from me! The Rube's a world beater!

They're up there to get a line on Peg. We'll fool 'em, and make 'em sick in the bargain. Peg, you let out this innin' and show up the first three hitters. Then I'll take you out and let Schoonover finish the game. See?" "Take me out?" echoed Ken. "That's it, if you make these next three hitters look like monkeys. Don't you see? We've got the Herne game cinched.

Justly. Not you. Our deeds are the hard hitters. We learn when they begin to flagellate, stroke upon stroke!

But go over to Murray and have your arm rubbed. Is it sore or stiff?" "Not at all. I could work again to-day," replied Ken. That afternoon, alone in his room, he worked out his pitching plan for Saturday's game. It did not differ materially from former plans. But for a working basis he had self-acquired knowledge of the Place hitters. It had been purchased at dear cost.
