Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager All three of the thugs would be at the southpaw again in another jiffy. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager He was seeking to get at the southpaw with his bare left hand! Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Disappointment and apprehension brought silence, save for the confident chattering of the Wolf coachers and the attempted encouragement of the players behind the southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager For a moment it seemed that Weegman would lose all control of himself and attack the southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw had fancied that he would be given more time to muster his opposing forces for the battle. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The principal question was whether the southpaw could “go the distance.” Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Weegman watched the southpaw’s face, noting the look of consternation upon it. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw realized that it would be necessary to do some really high-grade twirling to prevent them from grabbing that advantage in short order. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw was doing some serious thinking as he walked back to the mound. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager If so, he would reach Florida many hours ahead of the southpaw, and would have plenty of time to accomplish his purpose. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager There was something queer about the affair, something the southpaw did not understand. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The swarthy little fabulist rose hastily to his feet, making a quick survey of the southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw tried to lead Nuccio into reaching, but the batter caught himself in his swing. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Loyal to the team and its supporters, the southpaw 97 could not take needless chances of losing, no matter how much he longed to be put upon his mettle and forced to the last notch. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “Straight goods, Mit,” stated the southpaw serenely, as he stepped forward. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Like a flash the southpaw whirled about and shot the ball to second, knowing some one would be there to take the throw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “If anybody doubts my authority,” shouted 53 Weegman, plunging his hand into an inner pocket of his coat, “I can show the documents that will–” The southpaw had turned his back on him. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Through the open door the southpaw watched the strange pitcher walk through the office and mount a flight of stairs. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager His style of swinging led the southpaw to fancy that he had a preference for drops, and therefore Locke wound the next one round his neck, puncturing his weakness. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “I’m busy now,” said the southpaw, moving as if to pass on; but Garrity detained him. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw quickly tried a drop across the batter’s shoulders, and, not expecting that the ball had so much on it, Barney let it pass. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Lefty registered, and the clerk tossed a room key to the boy who was waiting with the southpaw’s traveling bag. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “What’s that about a trade?” asked a voice at the southpaw’s back. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Suddenly the southpaw felt a desire to bring the two men face to face, wondering what would happen. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager They fought it out, eye to eye, and presently Weegman’s gaze wavered before that of the unawed southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw held them in the fourth, but he did so by working his head fully as much as his arm. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “He behaves well, very well,” admitted the southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Instantly sizing up the situation, the southpaw signaled for a double steal, and both runners started with the first movement of the pitcher’s delivery. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager To the southpaw’s increasing astonishment, Kennedy stepped forward quickly, seized Weegman’s hand, and shook it cordially and heartily. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager In vain the man stormed, threatened, coaxed, cajoled; he could not bend Lefty in the least, and at last he realized that he had made a big blunder in estimating the character of the southpaw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager He began to laugh, and the southpaw writhed inwardly. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager And the southpaw was left still uncertain and doubtful; the game had not provided the test he courted. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “Then,” asked the southpaw, “why is he pitching?” Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The only thing the southpaw regretted was that Weegman would, doubtless, quickly learn what had been done; for 168 it was a practical certainty that Skullen would lose little time in wiring to him. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw was flung down upon the rear seat, and it was a wonder that he did not go flying over the low back of it and out of the carriage. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Having watched the man and analyzed his performance, the southpaw felt that he should be able to obtain a hit. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager This was likewise true, although the southpaw had now no intention of putting up there on this occasion. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Skullen planted his clenched fists upon his hips and gazed at the southpaw with an expression of unrepressed hatred. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “Then you think it is a trap?” asked the southpaw, feeling the blood hot in his cheeks. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The showdown must come before long, but ere that time the southpaw hoped to fill his hand on the draw. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Skullen was right; the story had gone forth that the star southpaw of the Blue Stockings would do no more pitching. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “If so,” laughed the southpaw, “he has been some busy person.” Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “Perhaps I’ll have to revise my theory about him not using brains,” was the southpaw’s mental admission. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “Wait!” cried Weegman, his eyes on the southpaw, who had promptly moved up to the little table. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager Uttering a snarl of astonished rage, the latter sought to grapple, but the southpaw knew that he could not afford to waste time in that sort of a struggle. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw was suddenly attacked by an intense distaste for the company of Tom Garrity’s coarse hireling. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager “I am thinking of trying out another one of our uncertainties,” answered the southpaw, with an enigmatical smile. Lefty Locke Pitcher-Manager The southpaw stood still in his tracks, and stared, smiling; for he saw that Parlmee and Virginia were chatting and laughing, while Janet watched them with an expression of complete satisfaction and pleasure.
