Sometimes one style is best and sometimes another, depending upon where the ball is thrown and the position of the baseman. I consider Kelly the best all-round slider in the League, because he can, and does, use every style with equal freedom.
Take care of that, Slider, literally for God's sake. It'll fetch its price at the Auction Mart. 'What's the next? inquired Peg. 'Why, this, said Squeers, 'seems, from the two letters that's with it, to be a bond from a curate down in the country, to pay half a year's wages of forty pound for borrowing twenty. Take care of that, for if he don't pay it, his bishop will very soon be down upon him.
But, after all, the important factors in successful base-running are yet to be spoken of, and the foregoing points are merely mechanical aids. There is no other department of play in which intelligence plays so important a part, and no matter how clever the player as a starter, runner, or slider, these faculties will be of little value unless directed by a quick perception and sound judgment.
Now listen in for telegraphic signals or telephonic speech or music; when you hear one or the other slide the secondary coil in and out of the primary coil until the sounds are loudest; now move the contact switch over the points forth and back until the sounds are still louder, then move the slider to and fro until the sounds are yet louder and, finally, turn the knob of the condenser until the sounds are clear and crisp.
'And now you're up, my Slider, bawled Squeers, as she rose to fetch them, 'bolt the door. Peg trotted to the door, and after fumbling at the bolt, crept to the other end of the room, and from beneath the coals which filled the bottom of the cupboard, drew forth a small deal box.

I am steering straight for their goal; three men only are between me and it one, their captain, right back, and Slider and another man in front of him.
Six months went by, and I was worse off than ever two months in arrears of rent, and numerous other debts to cigar-shops and liquor-dealers. Now and then some good job, such as a burglar with a cut head, helped me for a while; but, on the whole, I was like Slider Downeyhylle in Neal's "Charcoal Sketches," and kept going "downer and downer" the more I tried not to. Something had to be done.
'What made ye stan' me a slider, an' a champion tea, an' they nice sweeties, an' a best sate in a pictur hoose when ye wasna extra keen on ma comp'ny? 'Dear knows. She drew away from him so smartly that he turned his face towards her. 'Oh, crool! she murmured, and put her handkerchief to her eyes. 'Dinna dae that! he whispered, alarmed. 'What's up? 'Ye ye insulted me. 'Insulted ye!
