short stop and third baseman harassed the
pitcher.
Put some of that stuff on it you tried on
me-" Mccarthy jibed after base hit. Haven't
you anything left"
Whats the matter? Lost your nerve or
your curve?" demanded Swanson.
Under the running fire of taunts, criticisms
and sarcasm Williams pitched harder and
harder furious at his team mates and, unable
to revenge himself upon them, venting his an
ger upon opposing batsmen.
Say, you guys" remarked Kennedy on the
bench after the fourth inning Have some
pity on me. You've got Adonis mad he's
smashing my mitt with his speed. Better
ease off on him or you'll have him in the air."
Satisfied that their end was accomplished,
Mccarthy and Swanson ceased their concerted
nagging. The Bears had accumulated two
runs and seemed winning easily In the fifth
when, before runner was out Mccarthy cut
ting across in front of Swanson to scoop an
easy-bounding ball, played it too carelessly,
fumbled and allowed the first batter to reach
first base. The error was common enough but
allowing the first batter to reach base on
an easy chance was serious at that stage of
the game. Williams turned upon Mccarthy
and gave him a violent rebuke, charging him
with throwing him down" and attempting to
lose the game. Under the circumstances Nc
earthly was not in a position to respond. He
saw that, in spite of his angry words Williams
seemed pleased by the error An instant later
a drive whizzed past him and then another
was across the plate, runners on first and
third and no one out. He saw Kennedy run
angrily down to Williams and rushed with
Swanson to join the argument.
"You cut out that pitching inside" snapped
Kennedy. That's twice I've signalled you
high and out and you've pitched inside both
times"
Trying to toss off this one?" demanded
Swanson angrily. you big stiff pitch ball"
The next batter sacrificed, and again Will
Jams broke the ball low and inside the plate to
a right-handed hitter The ball came like a
shot toward Mccarthy who dived at it. 1t
rolled away toward Swanson who recovered
just in time to throw out the runner at first,
but another run had counted and the score was
tied.
To the spectators it seemed If the Bears
we're panicstricken although in reality Ken
needy and Swanson were striving to compel
Williams to pitch properly and he, angry and
sullen, continued to disobey the catcher's
orders. Another hit screeched past Mccarthy
another run counted and the Travellers were
one run ahead before the attack could be
stopped.
The Travellers held their advantage to the
eighth when, rallying desperately, the Bears
drove home two runs by sheer force of hitting
and the ninth found them hanging to a one-run
lead. They failed to increase their advantage
in the first half of the inning and took the
field desperately determined to hold their lead
Mccarthy was puzzled. He knew that Clancy
knew what was happening on the field and had
expected each inning that the manager would
rebuke Williams when they returned to the
bench Instead Clancy had remained strangely
silent, as if not hearing the wordy argument
between Williams and Swanson and Kennedy,
