Excerpt: ... strike out, but, nevertheless, he failed to meet one of Hooker''s shoots squarely, and the grammar school shortstop gathered in an easy grounder and threw to first for the third put-out. Roger Eliot lingered to speak a word to Hooker, and Springer, still unnoticed, plainly heard what he said. Perhaps we''ve made a mistake in sizing you up, Roy, old fellow. It''s your work alone that has prevented us from scoring in either of these innings. You''ve always had speed and curves, but now you seem able to get the pill over. Keep it up, old fellow, and you''ll make a pitcher yet, We may need you before the season ends. CHAPTER XVI. DREAD. There''s Phil, cried Grant, spying him. I''ll take the field. Let him pitch. Eliot turned, saw Springer, and looked relieved. Wondered where you were, he said pleasantly. I see you''re ready for business. This is a five-inning game, and Grant has pitched two innings already; you can hand ''em up the last three. But I haven''t warmed up any, said Phil. I couldn''t get around any sooner. There''s no hurry, returned Roger. You can have plenty of time to limber your wing; the scrub won''t object to that. But I don''t want to butt in and take Grant''s place. Shucks! cried Rod genially. Who''s butting in, anyhow? What are you talking about, partner? I want to get some field practice anyhow, and perhaps I will if you''re kind enough to let the scrub hit you once in a while. They''re putting up a right smart sort of a game, but Hooker''s mainly responsible, as he hasn''t been letting us rap him to any great extent. No scores yet on either side. Come on, Phil, called Eliot decisively, as he slipped his left hand into the big catching mitt, get out there and wiggle your flinger. Tuttle, maybe they''ll let you play with the scrub, so Grant can occupy the right-hand pasture. This arrangement was quickly made, the captain of the scrub team having filled his outfield positions with youngsters who were even weaker than Tuttle....
