Starbright had tried Clackson on all sorts of twists and benders, and he had found the fellow able to hit almost anything. It was a mystery to know just what sort of a ball to give the fellow.
Starbright tried him with an out curve, but Clackson calmly let it pass.
“One ball,” was the decision.
Then Dick put one close to the fellow’s body, but the latter simply stepped back and let that pass.
“Two balls!”
The big Yale freshman followed with a sharp drop.
Clackson swung at it and missed.
“One strike.”
“Fooled him that time,” thought Dick exultantly.
Then he used a rise, but it was above the latter’s shoulders, and Clackson did not offer.
