. But, Worry, I didn't say a word it was Reddy, replied Ken, in distress. Same thing, rejoined the coach. Now, boys, let's quiet down and talk overthe game.I won't waste any time jollyin' you.I couldn't praise you enough ifI spent the rest of the season tryin' to.One and all, by yourselves and in abunch, you played Herne off their feet.I'll bet MacNeff and Prince are dizzyfigurin' what'll happen Saturday week.As to the score, why, scores don't meanmuch to us What was the score, anyway? asked Ken.The boys greeted this with shouts of doubtful laughter, and Worry glanced withdisapproval at his star. Peg, you keep me guessin' a lot.But not to know how much we beat Herne wouldbe more 'n I could stand.On the level, now, don't you know the score? Fair and square, I don't, Worry.You never would let me think of how manyruns we had or needed.I can count seven yes, and one more, that was Reddy'shome-run. Peg, you must have been up in the air a little; 14 to 4, that's it.And wedidn't take our bat in the last of the ninth. Then followed Worry's critical account of the game, and a discussion in whichthe boys went over certain plays.During the evening many visitors called, butdid not gain admission.The next morning, however, Worry himself brought inthe newspapers, which heretofore he had forbidden the players to read, and hetold them they were now free to have any callers or to go where they liked.There was a merry scramble for the papers, and presently the reading-room wasPage 57 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlas quiet as a church.The account that held Ken Ward in rapt perusal was the Morning Times-Star's.At first the print blurred in Ken's sight.Then he read it over again.Heliked the glowing praise given the team, and was shamefully conscious of thedelight in his name in large letters.A third time he read it, guiltily thistime, for he did not dream that his comrades were engrossed in likeindulgence.WAYNE OUTCLASSES HERNEARTHURS DEVELOPS ANOTHER GREAT TEAM.PEGGIE WARD AND REDDY RAY STARS.Wayne defeated Herne yesterday 14 to 4, and thereby leaped into the limelight.It was a surprise to every one, Herne most of all.Owing to the stringenteligibility rules now in force at Wayne, and the barring of the old varsity,nothing was expected of this season's team.Arthurs, the famous coach, hasbuilt a wonderful nine out of green material, and again establishes theadvisability of professional coaches for the big universities.With one or two exceptions Wayne's varsity is made up of players developedthis year.Homans, the captain, was well known about town as an amateur playerof ability.But Arthurs has made him into a great field captain and abase-getter of remarkable skill.An unofficial computing gives him the battingaverage of.536.No captain or any other player of any big college team in theEast ever approached such percentage as that.It is so high that it must be amistake.Reddy Ray, the intercollegiate champion in the sprints, is the other seasonedplayer of the varsity, and it is safe to say that he is the star of all thecollege teams.A wonderful fielder, a sure and heavy hitter, and like a flashon the bases, he alone makes Homans' team formidable.Then there is Peg Ward, Worry Arthurs' demon pitcher, of freshman bowl-fightfame.This lad has been arriving since spring, and now he has arrived.He ispowerful, and has a great arm.He seems to pitch without effort, has twice thespeed of Dale, and is as cool in the box as a veteran.But it is hismarvellous control of the ball that puts him in a class by himself.In thefourth inning of yesterday's game he extended himself, probably on orders fromCoach Arthurs, and struck out Herne's three best hitters on eleven pitchedballs.Then he was taken out and Schoonover put in.This white-headed lad isno slouch of a pitcher, by-the-way.But it must have been a bitter pill forHerne to swallow.The proud Herne varsity have been used to knocking pitchersout of the box, instead of seeing them removed because they were too good.Also, MacNeff and Prince, of Place, who saw the game, must have had food forreflection.They did not get much of a line on young Ward, and what they sawwill not give them pleasant dreams.We pick Ward to beat the heavy-hittingPlace team.Other youngsters of Arthurs' nine show up well, particularly Raymond and Weir,who have springs in their feet and arms like whips.Altogether Arthurs'varsity is a strangely assorted, a wonderfully chosen group of players.Wemight liken them to the mechanism of a fine watch, with Ward as themainspring, and the others with big or little parts to perform, but eachdependent upon the other.Wayne's greatest baseball team!Ken read it all thirstily, wonderingly, and recorded it deep in the deepestwell of his memory.It seemed a hundred times as sweet for all the misery andlonging and fear and toil which it had cost to gain [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
