The captain of the Gridley nine dropped to one knee, hands low, but he took the leather in -took it just the bare part of a second before the Waylander from third got there. For an instant the dazed crowd held its breath just long enough to hear the umpire announce. "Striker out! Out at home plate. Two out!" Then the tumult broke loose.
Two strikes, and then the visitor sent out a little pop-over that touched ground and rolled ere Harry Hazelton could race in and get it, driving it on to first base. "Safe at first," called the umpire, and the other Waylander had reached second. "O-o-o-h!" "Don't let 'em have it, Dick -don't!" The wail that reached his ears was pathetic, but Prescott paid no heed.
