The table fare in Kentucky and Tennessee was much the same wherever the traveller stopped consisting of bacon, eggs, and of corn bread in the form of dodgers, or of big loaves weighing eight or ten pounds, cooked in a portable iron Dutch oven. Coffee the landlord always served, tea never, and no meal was complete without toddy.
He began talking of churches and of ministers, against whom he was filled with bitterness. "They are dodgers. They do not get at things. They are damned dodgers, pretending to be good," he declared. Sam talked of himself, saying that he was alone in the world and had money.
But now his right hand held a green stick, on which he was toasting some slices of pork into crisp, appetizing curls. "'Morning, boys!" he said, as the trio appeared. "Hope your early rising won't opset ye! If you want to dip your faces in the stream, do it quick, for these dodgers are cooked." The "dodgers" were the familiar flapjacks.
But the time-keeper's call prevented further doings. "He's a mosquito, that's all," growled Denison to Nelson, in the corner. "Go in and swat him, then," grinned Nelson. "Watch me!" "Remember, then, that skeeters are dodgers." "I'll saw him off, this time," grumbled the big fellow. The call of time brought both men forward.
Walters told him that Indianapolis, Ind., was one of the 'Head Centers, and that Dodgers, Bowlens, Millington, Dorsing and Byron were the Chiefs, with several so-called Agitators, and that Mr.
They are called the forwards, and are supposed to be always on the ball, following it everywhere, never stopping or tiring. They are opposed, of course, by the forwards of the other side.

There are some artful dodgers, whose artful dodging the oldest hand can scarcely guard against; but I'm proud to say not one of those artful dodgers has ever yet been able to get the better of me. Perhaps my time is to come, and I shall be bamboozled in my old age."
I have to go out on the field and I don't have time to fool around. "'No, I told him, 'I'm serious! McGraw is right here and he says he'll sell me for seven thousand five hundred buckaroos! Do you want to talk to him? "'Of course I do, Robbie said. And right then and there I was traded from the Giants to the Dodgers.
