The third was a high one, but it looked good, and he tried for it.

It proved to be a rise, and he struck under it at least a foot.
Bob Collingwood was growing enthusiastic.
"That Merriwell is full of tricks," he declared.

"Think how he secretly coached the freshman crew up on the Oxford stroke last fall and won the race at Saltonstall.

If it hadn't been for a traitor nobody would have known what he was doing with the crew, for he wouldn't let them practice at the machines." "I have had my eye on him ever since he entered Yale," confessed Pierson.

"I have seen that he is destined to come to the front." The batter seemed angry because he had been deceived so easily, and this gave Frank satisfaction, for an angry man can be deceived much easier than one who keeps cool.
Merriwell held them close in on the batter, who made four fouls in succession, getting angrier each moment.
