There was a hush as he sent the huge ball rolling down the polished alley.
Crash! It was a strike.
Manton turned away. He could not speak, and his hands shook a bit as he buttoned on his collar and adjusted his tie.
Merry waited for the pins to be reset and his ball to be returned.
Then he rolled again.
“Another strike!” exclaimed Hodge.
But it was not. Nine pins fell.
Fuller quickly added up the score which showed that Frank had defeated Manton by nine points.
