"Who will call the toss?"
"Martin may," nodded Captain Dick.
"Ready, then."
Ben Tozier sent the coin spinning skyward. When it turned to fall Hi called out:
"Tails."
"Heads win," declared Umpire Tozier.
"Captain Martin, have you any choice?" inquired Prescott politely.
"I didn't win the toss," Hi returned sulkily.
"But we'll give you your choice if you have any," Dick insisted.
"We'd rather go to bat," Hi observed.
