The prefixed element re- "back" merely qualifies to a certain extent the inherent significance of the radical element mitt- "send," while the suffixes -eba-, -nt-, and -ur convey the less concrete, more strictly formal, notions of time, person, plurality, and passivity.
Then Carroll, mask under his arm, rolling his big hand in his mitt, sauntered down to the pitcher's box. The sharp order of the umpire in no wise disconcerted him. He said something to Dalgren, vehemently nodding his head the while. Players and audience alike supposed he was trying to put a little heart into Dalgren, and liked him the better, notwithstanding the opposition to the umpire.
He smashed it out on a line, and the crack of ball and bat was followed almost instantly by the smack of ball and mitt as Hodge pulled the sphere down with his left hand. Without losing a moment to transfer the ball from the left hand to his right, Bart snapped it over to Scrogg at third, catching Hollis off the sack, and completing a breathless double play.
Might I ask, I says, 'what is your particular delusion? Are you a striped cabbage worm or a pet white rabbit? "I was thinking about that lettuce leaf which he held in his mitt. "'Not exactly, he says, 'I was such a good liver that I developed a bad one and so I paid a specialist eighty dollars to send me here. At this writing, he says, 'the beasts of the field have but little on me.
But I'm going to play it strong. Maybe at the draw I'll fill." "Mebbe you won't." "I can bet it like I had an ace full, can't I? Anybody can play poker when he's got a mitt full of big ones. Show me the man that can make two pair back an all-blue hand off the map." "Go to it, you old sport. My money's on you," grinned the miner admiringly. "I'll go order a wedding present."
The shape of a bat does not make as much difference as some poor batters are inclined to think. The manufacturers of sporting goods make all the accessories for playing baseball both in men's and boys' sizes. Every ball player should own his own mitt or glove and become accustomed to it. The same is true of his bat. The art of becoming a good ball player depends largely on the boy himself.
"Well, that's more than old Estrada over in Conejo does," said O'Grady. "He pulled a tooth for me last winter and he come in from feedin' his pigs to do it. Right plumb into my mouth he started to put his dirty fist. 'No, says I, 'you wash that mitt first. Afterward you can suit yourself." "You better get a swig of whiskey ready for Tom," suggested the brakeman, solicitously.
"We came to see if everything was all right and proper here. We're satisfied now and are going back. Got to hurry away, sun's getting low." The Swede sniffed at him contemptuously, and drew off a big mitt of muskrat hide. With some difficulty he drew from his clothing a huge silver watch and looked at it. "Glad you vas in a hurry. I tank I 'elp you a bit make tings lifely.
Been to Butte to get a raise on it, but the fell khedives of commerce are jealous. They would hearken not. Gee, those birds certainly did pull the frigid mitt! So I wend my way back to the demure Dolores, the houri of my heart, and the next time I'll take a crack at the big guns in Seattle.
Graves had lost his smile and wore an expression of sickly surprise. The third ball travelled by him and cracked in Dean's mitt, and Arthurs called it a strike. "Easy there that'll do!" yelled the coach. "Come in here, Peg. Out on the field now, boys." Homans stopped Ken as they were passing each other, and Ken felt himself under the scrutiny of clear gray eyes.
