But there the other Twin was, and with a quick, wringing clutch that nearly tied the opposing captain into a bow-knot, he had the ball away from him. At the end of the three goals the Kingstonians began to whisper to themselves that they had what they were pleased to call a "cinch"; they alluded to the Palatines as "easy fruit," and began to make a number of fresh and grand-stand plays.
When he fell to the ground yelping with torment, I am afraid that the Kingstonians showed little of the Good Samaritan spirit, for the ball-nine and the Kingston sympathizers in the crowd indulged in a jubilation such as a Roman throng gave vent to when a favorite gladiator had floored some new savage.
The Kingstonians, not knowing which of the Twins was in the lead, if indeed either of them actually led, yelled violently: "The Twins! The Twins!" It was Reddy that had got the first start and cleared the multitude, but Heady, by a careful system of jumping, was soon alongside his brother.
It was a good thing that Kingston had prepared no bonfire for the victory they had thought would be so easy, because if the defeated nine had been met with such a mockery they would surely have perished of mortification. The loss of this game think of it, the score was 14 to 2! tied the Kingstonians with the Charlestonians, and another game was necessary to decide the contest for the pennant.
It was suspended from his shoulders like a life-belt, and carried a deep groove around the middle of it. The Troy captain had a similar contrivance about him, and he looked somewhat contemptuously upon the Kingstonians, who had not the beefy, brawny look of his own big four. The eight took their places on the long board, each man with his feet against a cleat.
"Why is Beauregard in such a hurry for ammunition?" were among the queries hurled at the defenceless heads of the four conspirators. George, as he gazed out upon the Kingstonians, began to feel rather nervous. He realized that one contradictory answer, one slip of the tongue, might spoil everything. And in this case to spoil was a verb meaning imprisonment and ultimate death.
It is the habit of the Kingstonians to resort in great numbers to those gardemange looking boxes, whenever a strange sail appears in the offing, or any circumstance takes place at sea worth reconnoitring.
The referee is on all fours, his cheek almost to the ground. He is watching for the meeting of those two shoulders upon the mat. The Kingstonians have given up, and the Trojans have their cheers all ready. And now the despairing Jumbo feels that his last minute has come. But just for the fraction of a second he sees that the cautious Ware is slightly changing his hold.
The day was perfect, and in the preliminary practice the Kingstonians showed that they were determined to wipe out the disgrace of the Brownsville game, or at least to cover it up with the scalps of the Charlestonians. At length the Charlestonians were called in by their captain, for they were first at bat. The Kingstonians dispread themselves over the field in their various positions.
The first fall had been so quickly accomplished, and Jumbo had offered so feeble a resistance, that the Troy faction at once accepted the wrestling-match as theirs, and the Kingstonians gave up the evening as hopelessly lost.
