The general observer decided him out of condition and unfit for baseball. His position under the bat was awkward, and his face wore an expression of blankness, which seemed to indicate a lack of that quick wit and keen intelligence to be found in every exceptional baseball player. Nevertheless, Bang Bancroft was one of the cleverest players on the Rovers. He was a great short-arm thrower to bases.
The neutral ground, the deadly open and exposed space, was won. It had been crossed at other points, and now it only remained to see if the hold could be maintained and strengthened and extended. The fighting fell to a new phase the work of the short-arm bayonet thrust and the bomb-throwers.
As the intruder fell, his head came into contact with the sharp projection of the bureau, and when he struck the floor he lay still. Chester rose to his feet. As Hal's opponent sprang toward him, the lad stepped in close and delivered a stinging short-arm blow over the other's heart.
His steel-muscled arms tightened about the waist of the other. A short-arm jolt to the cheek he disregarded. Before Durand had set himself to meet the plunge he found himself flying through space. The gambler caught at the rail, missed it, landed on the cinders beside the roadbed, was flung instantly from his feet, and rolled over and over down an incline to a muddy gully.
Durand tried to close with him. An uppercut jolted him back. He plunged forward again. They grappled, knocking over chairs as they threshed across the room. When they went down Clay was underneath, but as they struck the floor he whirled and landed on top. The man below fought furiously to regain his feet. Clay's arm worked like a piston rod with short-arm jolts against the battered face.
Unarmed, he sprang back toward the open door full into the arms of Quade! Aldous knew that it was Quade and not Culver Rann, and he struck out with all the force he could gather in a short-arm blow. His fist landed against Quade's thick neck. Again and again he struck, and Quade's grip loosened. In another moment he would have reached the door if Rann had not caught him from behind.
He delivered a short-arm, right-hand blow that struck the native in the neck, felling him to the sidewalk. But Tomba was up in an instant, and a knife flashed in his hands. Hal did not flinch. He leaped upon the little brown man, getting a clinch that held the rascal powerless. Then Noll coolly took away the knife, striking the blade into the tree trunk and snapping the steel in two.
If Blossom had secured a lead equal to Merriwell's he would have made third easily. As it was, the catcher snapped the ball down with a short-arm throw, and Blossom was caught by a foot. Then it was Harvard's turn, and the Cambridge lads made the most of it. A great roar went up, and the crimson seemed to be fluttering everywhere. "Har-vard! Har-vard! Har-vard! 'Rah! 'rah! 'rah! 'Rah! 'rah! 'rah!
Then Fred Radwin jumped up, prepared to grapple with this young foeman. But Jack was ready for that. He had ready a handy sailor jab a short-arm blow with the fist that sent Radwin once more to the sidewalk. Then, as scientific boxing rules were not called for in an encounter of this kind, Jack followed up his advantages with two severe kicks.
A fellow wasn't going to stand that kind of thing, so he let out at him with his left and then jumped in with two short-arm jabs that must have tickled the chap; that fellow didn't have it all his own way anyhow.... The young man exhibited his knuckles, which were skinned and bleeding, as evidence of some exchange; but, he averred, you might as well be punching a sack of coal as that man's face.
