Barnes clenched his fists, but the referee stepped squarely in between the rival captains. "Cut it!" directed that official tersely. "I'll do all the talking myself. Captain Barnes, return to your men and tell them that slugging and tricky work will be watched for more carefully, and penalized as heavily as the rules allow. If it goes too far I'll declare the game forfeited to the visiting team."
And look what she give me for breakfast the heel of a loaf and a cup of coffee, and her with a dollar!" "It's fierce," said Ragsy. "Say we go up and punch 'er and stick a towel in 'er mouth and cop the coin" suggested Kidd, viciously. "Y' ain't afraid of a woman, are you?" "She might holler and have us pinched," demurred Ragsy. "I don't believe in slugging no woman in a houseful of people."
"You don't know what you're letting yourself in for," she warned. "Maybe you'd better back out before it's too late." He shook his head stubbornly. "What you don't want to stomach you ain't goin' to stomach. Let her go." "First," she commenced, "no more slugging of scabs." His mouth opened, but he checked the involuntary protest. "And, second, no more Oakland." "I don't get that last."
How in Tophet was I to know their old Induna from a waytrain? I took the first that came along, and I've been jailed and fined for that once already." "That was for slugging the guard." "He had no right to haul me out when I was half-way through a window." "What are you going to do about it?"
"Ho! the slugging captain comes!" "Get him a board!" "Fluke hitter!" "Mac, that was a lucky stab of yours Wednesday! Hit one now!" No spectator of that game missed Ken's fierce impetuosity when he faced MacNeff.
OF COURSE he was the same as other boys; OF COURSE he had the same inclinations, the same promptings of the animal man; but with them he had more daring, more force and energy of will to cooperate with God's grace. You always find it that way. The things the saints seem to do with ease are terrifically hard things, huge battles, regular slugging fights.
These intent regiments apparently were oblivious of all larger purposes of war, and were slugging each other as if at a matched game. In another direction he saw a magnificent brigade going with the evident intention of driving the enemy from a wood. They passed in out of sight and presently there was a most awe-inspiring racket in the wood. The noise was unspeakable.
Here I can lie down and sleep; and here I do sleep how long I do not know for I am awakened by a lantern thrust into my face. The two shacks are staring at me. I scramble up on the defensive, wondering as to which one is going to make the first "pass" at me. But slugging is far from their minds. "I thought you was ditched," says the shack who had held me by the collar.
And I haven't worked it out at all. I haven't any words for it, no book, nor anything. But I tell you it comes in waves, whole scenes from it. I'd like a hundred hands to write it down with. I'd like to take one header into it and never come up. And meanwhile I'm slugging away at that other damned thing because Mrs. Wollaston and LaChaise want it, because it's the main chance."
"Just as you say, Hugh, though I was expecting that you'd favor me with a call. There are a few little things that had ought to be straightened out before we hit that slugging nine over in Belleville. I hope Alan Tyree keeps up his good work in the box. Lately he's seemed to be doing finely, and Mr. Saunders declares he could mow down a lot of heavy hitters in the college league.
