Gould bunted unexpectedly when the stage was set for a mighty blow, with the fielders playing away out. He advanced Leonard, although caught himself, thanks to the quick work of the pitcher, who closed in on the ball, and tossed it to first ahead of the sprinting Gould. So Leonard was on second, with two out, and another slugger at the plate in the person of Wright, with Waterman to follow.
A second time he ran up against a snag, for our hero dodged the blow that was meant for him and countered with a tremendous slugger which landed on his assailant's nose, and over the man fell with a swiftness that would have suggested the kick of a horse, and when he fell he lay there; but two of the other chaps had in the meantime made a rush for Desmond, and they received a rap successively indeed, they had run in on our young walking champion where he was at home.
"Stranathan, up here on Madden's Hill we know how to treat visitors. We'll play with your ball.... Now keep your gang of rooters from crowdin' on the diamond." "Boss, it's your grounds. Fire 'em off if they don't suit you.... Come on, let's git in the game. Watcher want field er bat?" "Field," replied Daddy briefly. Billy Gale called "Play," and the game began with Slugger Blandy at bat.
A portrait of "Black Eagle," a noted chief, was given when they got among the Indians, "a great hulking slugger of a savage, awfully interesting, long, reaching step, magnificent muscles, snake eye, could thrash us all in turn if he liked. The best of the lot."
Demmed miserable time I had out there. But this fellow fights. That's more than the beastly natives did when we were out there. Marching isn't fighting, you know." "Confound it, you forget the time " "Mon Dieu, are we to compare ze Hindoo harem wiz ze American feest slugger?" cried the count, with a wry face. "What's that?" demanded two noblemen in one voice. The count apologized for his English.
Then, as he took in the details, he knew that it was the same one that had flown over his house that night it was the one from which the fire bomb had been dropped. He pushed his way through the crowd. He saw Andy standing near the curious biplane, which type of air craft it nearest resembled, though it had some monoplane features. On the side was painted the name: SLUGGER
It was comforting to think that if it came to a fight Sam and Lane could hold their own with Bo Stranathan and Slugger Blandy. In the managing of his players Daddy observed strict discipline. It was no unusual thing for him to fine them. On practice days and off the field they implicitly obeyed him. During actual play, however, they had evinced a tendency to jump over the traces.
In this way he had acquired a reputation as a "slugger," that counted for much in such an assemblage, and he confided to me one evening that it was the easiest way to "stop talk," and that if he "laid down," the opposition would walk off with all his "people."
Then he turned on more power, and had the satisfaction of mounting upward and shooting onward until he was on even terms with Andy. The bully gave one glance over toward his rival, and pulled a lever. The Slugger increased her speed, but Tom was not a second behind him.
His foretop was long, and he wore it over one ear like a hoss's when the wind is blowin'. "He commenced wrong, I guess. He points down the room to where me and Toledo was settin', and he hollers, 'Go to the ant, you slugger! Consider her game and get hep to it, or somethin' similar. "That word 'slugger' kind of jarred Toledo. He jumps up kind of mad.
