Wanted to Be a Missionary

TT was little Hugh Harvey they were talking
1 about, a light build, pale chap we had picked
up early in the spring from some Methods
college team in Arkansas. He was playin' ball
now SOS he cd git money enough to go back
and git his final polish to be evangelist or
exhorter or a missionary among the Chinese.
As pitcher, it was just as Dwarf Duffy
had sad-he was wonder till the eighth or
ninth innin', and then it seemed as though
any punk nine we were playin could hit him
for any number O runs they needed. He had
fine speed for light chap, curves that'd
knock your eye out, and he'd never give base
on balls-till just the time it hurt. We had
tried him i'll most forty games, and the only
times we won any when Sure Eye saw
the breakup comm and yanked him out before
the other side tied us.
Dwarf Duffy chawed SO much tobaccer and
cussed so like the big pirate he is and laughed
at Hughev, an called him yellow gutter so
much, that the kid was afraid O him. And
the very next afternoon following the day
Sure Eye had said Hugh would get one more
chance Dwarf sneers at the kid in the dressin'
room an tells what the captain had said before
the whole bunch.
It'll be back to the Sunday school for
yours, after Thursday" says he. All the
prayers you en- say between now an then
won't save you. 1t takes more than yawp about
sweetly solemn thoughts to cut down the
heavy hitters wen you're in a tight place.
An you amt got it. Eff there Church
League, you'd bat 900 an pitch thousand
per cent. in it; but you're in wrong here
redder than beet. When he looked up his
eyes were damp, and he dived his head into
his locker to hide 'em.
"Ho, ho!'' sings out Duffy. "Weepin', Ell?
Well, that's jest like all the yellers-whine
when they go up against the gaff.'
