ruly sports,' as he termed them:
Nv nat is the matter with your fingers p
''Struck by a ball and drove up,'' was the re-
ply; "but it is a noble game"
"Precisely-and your thumb it is useless, is
it not -
"Yes, struck with ball and broken"
THAT finger joint?'
"a ball struck it; no better game to improve
mans physical condition.; strengthens ones
sinews."
You walk lame-that foot, isn't it T.
"No; it's the-the-well, a bat flew out of a
players hand, and hit my knee PAN He had
the innings
"One of your front teeth is gone -
knocked out by a ball; an accident though"
Your right hand and your nose have been
peeled; how's that"
"Slipped down-at second base-a mere
scratch"
land you like this kind of fun?
"ilory in it, sir. 1t is a healthful game
sir.''
