Hal Darrell was talking with Day and Whitney, and now Darrell said:
“See here, Day, old man, we’re going to lose this game if something isn’t done right away.”
“What do you think ought to be done?” questioned the chairman of the committee.
“I think Merriwell ought to get in and pitch the game out.”
“Why doesn’t he do it?” exclaimed Whitney. “He is there on the bench, and he can go in any time.”
“Perhaps he thinks it won’t be right to take Arlington out now.”
“Do you favor interfering?” asked Day.
“Surely I am not in favor of keeping still and seeing this game lost,” answered Hal.
“Perhaps Arlington will take a brace,” observed Whitney.
“He’s got to take a brace pretty quick,” said Darrell. “If he doesn’t this game will be gone to the dogs before he knows it.”
