"They will not matter; it is a cement court." "But I shan't look the game. Tennis without flannels is like duck without apples." "Bother! We'll play till the mason comes up. And mind your game. I've been runner-up in a dozen tournaments." And he soon found that she had not overrated her skill.
"Well," he replied, presently, "I suppose I shall deserve that, if I succeed with my plan. However, as a traitor, I'm not even a runner-up with your father. He's going to get a couple of million dollars as the price of his shame! And he doesn't even need the money.
When he hurried away to catch his train in his excitement he must have unconsciously picked up the wrong bag!" "Then this one belongs to him, does it?" asked Jerry. "Don't you remember," remarked Frank, "his saying something about his being runner-up in the amateur class of golfers, and that he was going to a tournament right then, which accounted for his haste?" Will uttered a deep groan.
He has already won the Eastern Pennsylvania Championship, been runner-up to Wallace Johnson in the Pennsylvania State, Philadelphia Championship and Middle States event, besides holding the junior Championship of Pennsylvania for two years. He won the University of Pennsylvania Championship in his freshman year.

"I'd be pleased to have you come to " "I told the little wifey last night, 'Angel Face, I've found a pair of goo-goos that are a close runner-up to yours." Miss Schump turned to her first customer of the day, the flush receding as suddenly as it had come to scorch. "Copper toes for the little boy? Just be seated, please."
It was no use sending down novices to be massacred. This year Drummond and Stanning were the only Wrykinians up to Aldershot form. Drummond would have been almost a certainty for a silver medal, and Stanning would probably have been a runner-up. And here they were, both injured; Wrykyn would not have a single representative at the Queen's Avenue Gymnasium.
What they want is Gore. Others of the spectators are Old Boys, come to see how the school can behave in an emergency, and to find out whether there are still experts like Jones, who won the Middles in '96 or Robinson, who was runner-up in the Feathers in the same year; or whether, as they have darkly suspected for some time, the school has Gone To The Dogs Since They Left.
