"He has got it!"
"He caught that fly after all!"
"What a magnificent play! I never saw anything to match it!"
"Those runs don't count."
"Lakeport wins the game!"
CHAPTER XIV.
AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER.
It was true Lakeport had won by a score of 13 to 11. Si Voup tried to enter a protest, saying that Paul had let the ball drop and had then picked it up, but nobody would listen to him.
"It was a perfectly fair play," said the umpire. "I will leave it to the crowd. He fell down, but the ball never got within a foot of the ground."
