It is more ill-tempered than the common springer, and, if not well broken in, is often exceedingly obstinate. Skinner informs us that this breed, in its greatest purity, may be found in the Carrollton family, as also in the possession of Mr. Keyworth of Washington city.
"If I could do anything to help Oakdale win, I'd do it, even if I stood to lose seven hundred dollars by it," declared Phil. The sixth inning was over before Springer reached the Oakdale bench.
"I caught the three-twelve train from Clearport," said Phil, unconsciously starting to follow Rackliff. "Huh!" grunted the other. "Know you did, but you didn't wait to see the finish. If you had " By this time Springer was at the speaker's side and had seized his mud-spattered, rain-soaked sleeve. "What are you talking about?" he cried. "Rain stopped the game right after the fifth.
Another was a young 'secret springer, to use the mysterious terms of the trade Robson by name whom Elsmere had originally known as a clever workman belonging to the watchmaking colony, and a diligent attendant from the beginning on the Sunday lectures. He was now too ill to leave his lodgings, and his sickly pessimist personality had established a special hold on Robert.
"If you don't," returned Springer, "the game is a goner. There's no one else to put in. I gave it away when I lost my control. Queer I couldn't get the ball over." "I saw that we couldn't keep you in any longer, Phil," said Eliot. "I had to take you out." "Oh, that's all right," muttered the unhappy fellow. "That's baseball."
Springer commenced the ascent with slow and heavy tread; at length, after a most exhausting effort, and breathing like a wounded bellows, he lifted his mighty burden of flesh into the room. "What is your will, Judge Dooly?" he asked, with a painful effort at speech.
In a speech delivered on December 10, 1885, William M. Springer of Illinois complained: "We find ourselves bound hand and foot, the majority delivering themselves over to the power of the minority that might oppose any particular measures, so that nothing could be done in the way of legislation except by unanimous consent or by a two-thirds vote."
"And every reason for believing she will have, considering the fact that a dandy like Dade Newbert is going to pitch for her. Wait till you see him in action; it will open your eyes. How much money have you got?" Springer moved until the light of the street lamp in front of the postoffice over the way shone upon him, plunging his hand into his pocket and bringing up a lot of silver.
True, he could throw the curves, and had some speed, but at his best he could not find the plate more than once out of six times, and, when disturbed or rattled, he was even worse. Like many another fellow, he erroneously believed that the ability to throw a curved ball was a pitcher's chief accomplishment. "It was lucky Springer developed so well as a twirler last year," observed Eliot.
"Dancing the scalps of four white soldiers we have killed," replied Springer. "How did you kill them?" inquired the foremost Indian warrior.
