"We don't want to be walloped by a score of ninety-four to two." "I haven't let anything get by me, have I ?" grunted the catcher.
"No; but signal for some of my new ones." "I don't want to put a crimp in your wing," muttered Wells.
"That's all right.

It's a tough wing.

Don't let the Centrals score anything on us in this inning." "I'll do my best to help you hold 'em down," promised the South Grammar catcher as he hurried to his place behind the plate.
Dave Darrin, to his intense disgust, was struck out on three of the most crafty throws that Teall had on his list.

Hazelton followed.
Another player reached first on called balls, but the next Central boy struck a fair, short fly that landed in Ted's own hands.
"That was more like," grunted Ted, as he met his catcher at the bench.

"In that first inning these Centrals had me almost scared." In the second half of this second inning the Souths scored one run.
