Chapter XXIX
DICK'S GREAT RUN Dick Hamilton hurried across to the players' bench, tightening his belt as he ran. "If I only get a chance to play," he kept thinking. "I don't care what happens after that, nor what Uncle Ezra may want." The game soon started, and it began to look bad for Kentfield, for the outfielders made several costly errors, and at the ending of the sixth inning the score was eight to three, in favor of Mooretown. "Looks rather bad," said Captain Rutledge to the coach.
