Another, the exact antithesis of this great and good gentleman, on seeing a boy taking fitful glances through the window, would observe acidly, 'You are at perfect liberty, Jones, to watch the match if you care to, but if you do you will come in in the afternoon and make up the time you waste. And as all that could be seen from that particular window was one of the umpires and a couple of fieldsmen, Jones would reluctantly elect to reserve himself, and for the present to turn his attention to Euripides again.
Faiz-Ullah played like a little red demon, and The Rabbit seemed to be everywhere at once, and Benami rode straight at anything and everything that came in his way; while the umpires on their ponies wheeled like gulls outside the shifting game. But the Archangels had the better mounts, they had kept their racers till late in the game, and never allowed the Skidars to play football.
The protocols, however, were to be submitted to umpires charged to decide the result of the disputation, and were to be published after their verdict was announced. In vain had both Luther and Carlstadt, who refused to bind themselves to this decision, opposed this stipulation. The Duke, however, insisted on it, as a means of terminating judicially the contest.
He and Rosalie ought to be able to agree on the result of our game." Dysart turned his head away leisurely, then looked around again unsmiling. "Two umpires? Soit! But that means you consent to play." "Play?" "Certainly." "With you?" "With me." "I'll consider it.... Do you know we have been talking utter nonsense?" "That's part of the game."
But its tropical shower-bath had left the London air as cleanly and as clear as crystal; the neutral tints of every day were splashes of vivid colour, the waiting umpires animated snow-men, the heap of sawdust at either end a pyramid of powdered gold upon an emerald ground.
We are the expert and impartial umpires, and it is our business to ascertain, with scientific accuracy, the cause of death. The prima facie appearances in this case suggest that the deceased was murdered by Draper, and that is the hypothesis advanced. But that is no concern of ours.
He walks in with it and he calls in the high official umpires, or whoever they are in charge, and they have a conference, and the next thing they call the game off. But there was no next game. However, next day Chiz puts out to sea, and when he's into port again he calls up on the hill as per instructions.
This chap had a trick of bulldozing umpires and opposing players, and he generally played what is commonly called "scrappy baseball." The other members of the team took their cues from McCann, and their aggressiveness was made apparent almost before the first ball was pitched over the plate. "Here's a mark, Bender!" cried McCann, as Mulloy stepped out with his bat. "Eat him up!"
The men were allowed to use only their feet, the girls could use both hands and feet. If any warrior touched the ball with his hands he was promptly put off the field by the umpires, and the ball was restored to its original position. The match, well balanced, hotly contested, swayed back and forth. Now the ball was carried toward the women's goal, and then toward the men.
Officers and noncommissioned officers not required to complete the full quota of the units participating are assigned as observers or umpires. The firing line can rarely be controlled by the voice alone; thorough training to insure the proper use of prescribed signals is necessary. The exercise should be followed by a brief drill at attention in order to restore smartness and control.
