“There’s a batter!” exclaimed the man with the dog.
Dick Merriwell steadied down now, giving Morgan the jump ball the next time, which caused Dade to miss again.
Then Bart signed for a drop, but Dick shook his head, having been given a tip from Frank. A high in shoot drove Dade back from the plate, and an out followed. Morgan hit the ball foul.
“You’ll lace it next trip, Dade!” cried Packard.
“Und I vill get indo a score,” declared Dunnerwurst. “I vos a recular chain-lightnings running pases!”
Dick took the time limit on Morgan, and gave him the jump ball once more. Morgan missed it.
“You’re out!” said the umpire.
The man with the dog muttered something to himself, while the Yale crowd cheered.
“Beautiful work, Dick!” exclaimed Frank. “Now you are pitching your game!”
