“You couldn’t do dat ag’in in a week!” he growled.
Frank seemed to try it, whereupon the slugger swung to land hard on Merry’s body.
The blow was blocked, but it was done as if by chance more than skill.
The slugger’s anger increased and he followed Merriwell up.
“Now he’s going to get into him!” hissed Fillmore.
Merry managed to clinch, and he hung on when the referee tried to “break” them.
“Oh, leggo!” snapped Galway.
He tried to uppercut Frank.
“Break! break!” commanded the referee.
When they did break Merry unexpectedly shot his left to the slugger’s chin, driving his head back.
