No wonder his admirers cheered him wildly as he went to the bench.
Yale started in to make some scores.

The very first man up got a hit and stole second.

The next man went to the bat with the determination to slug the ball, but Old Put signaled for a sacrifice, as the man was a good bunt hitter.
The sacrifice was tried, and it worked, for the man on second got third, although the batter was thrown out at first.
"Now we need a hit!" cried Put.

"It takes one to tie and two to win.

A hit ties the game." Rattleton offered to bet Harris two to one that Yale would win, but Sport declined the offer.
"It's our game fast enough," he said.
