"He leaned way out, and took a wide curve right on the nose!"

"What would he do if he was twice as tall, hey, tell me that?" demanded a disgusted Fairfield backer, as he watched the two figures careering around the circuit.
"Watch him run, boys! Why, he could get home ahead of Toby. There they come in, neck and neck!"
"But where's the ball?" demanded one fellow.
"McDowd is chasing it yet. He'll get it after a while. There never was such a long hit made on these grounds, that's dead sure. It was a peach!"
Two runs looked pretty big in such a bitterly contested game.
