What's the matter with you? 'I'm sorry, Peggy, he said. 'I'm a fool. It's only that it all seems so damned hopeless! Here am I, earning about half a dollar a year, and Still, it's no use kicking, is it? Besides, I may make a home-run with my writing one of these days. That's what I meant when I said you were a Billiken, Peggy. Do you know, you've brought me luck.
What did you do to poor old Ted and his cronies, Paul?" entreated the other. "I could tell you easier what I didn't do to 'em, Jack. I gave the boys about every style of punch and jab I could think of, and with my home-run bat too. Oh! make up your mind they're going to be a sore lot in the morning. And if you run up against Ted, just sniff the air for arnica.
For another, not unassociated with that objection, I thought that the home-run hit was not sufficiently rewarded above the quite ordinary hit "bunch-hit," is it? that brings in a man or men. In the English game of "Rounders," the parent of baseball, a home-run hit either restores life to a man already out or provides the batting side with a life in reserve.
Babe Ruth had smashed the home-run record for the first time and Jack Dempsey had broken Jess Willard's cheek-bone out in Ohio. Over in Europe the usual number of children had swollen stomachs from starvation, and the diplomats were at their customary business of making the world safe for new wars.
Yet it is a part of the day's unity. At evening, nature is absorbed by another experience. She dislikes to explain as much as to repeat. It is conceivable, that what is unified form to the author, or composer, may of necessity be formless to his audience. A home-run will cause more unity in the grand stand than in the season's batting average.
There's no fence on Place Field, and every ball Reddy hits past a fielder will be a home-run. You can gamble on that. So set a fast clip when you start in, and hang." Some time later, when Ken had changed seats and was talking to Raymond, he heard Worry say to somebody: "Well, if Peg don't explode to-day he never will. I almost wish he would. He'd be better for it, afterward."
Each dirty cheek is stuffed as though a plague of mumps had fallen on the street. Or there may be a game of baseball a scampering on the bases, a home-run down the gutter to engage me for an inning. Or shinny grips the street. But if a street organ comes not a mournful one-legged box eked out with a monkey, but a big machine with an extra man to pull the children leave their games.
In real life he did not wear the collar, he was free and easy in his manners, sure of his powers of conquest. As Lise observed, he had made a home-run with her at Slattery's Riverside Park. "Sadie Hartmann was sure sore when I tangoed off with him," she would observe reminiscently....
Hitchcock, of Ambrose; Dr. Meylin, of Columbia as a result of repeated and careful measurements both of smokers and non-smokers. Judge Ben Lindsey says: "No pure-minded, honest, manly, brave boy will smoke a cigarette." "Home-Run" Baker says: "I do not smoke never did. If any youngster wants advice from one who doesn't mean to preach, there it is: Leave cigarettes alone!" Dr.
He also knocked on the ground a bit savagely with that elegant club of his. "Well, I'm just as well pleased, Jack," he remarked, "though I had it made up to give the brute all that was coming to him. Once let me get a fair crack at him with this stick, and he'll go daffy, I warrant you. I'll put all the vim into the blow that stands for a home-run hit on the diamond.
