The second made the bully's left optic black, and the third caused the blood to spurt freely.

Then Andy landed another blow on Ritter's mouth, leaped to the ground, and shoved the fellow from him.
"I'll give you those for an opener," he said, breathing heavily.

"You can have some more in another minute." "You--you rat!" hissed the bully and came at Andy with a rush.

But the acrobatic youth dodged, and Ritter ran full tilt into Dan Baxter.
"Hi, keep your distance, Ritter!" growled Baxter.
"I'll fix him!" yelled Ritter, and made another lunge for Andy.

This time he hit Andy on the shoulder.
