One strike!

I will go you even money, Rattleton, that Merriwell does not get a hit. If he goes down on four balls the bet is off.

I'll stand you, nodded Harry, laughingly.
gpt
Why, Harris, I never dreamed you were such an easy mark! Merriwell is bound to get a hit.
human
Ha! ha! mocked Harris.
gpt
Is that so? And he just let a good one pass without wiggling his bat!
human
It wasn't where he wanted it.
gpt
And Coulter will not give him one where he wants it.
human
Coulter doesn't know anything about Merriwell's batting, and so he is liable to make a break at any moment.
