Chapter XVIII
SLUGGER BROWN IS EXPOSED To be thrown down so violently was bad enough, but to be spiked in the leg hurt so much that Jack could not repress a gasp of pain. "Get off of me, Brown!" he panted when he could speak. "What do you mean by spiking me that way?" "Didn't spike you!" retorted Slugger Brown, scowling viciously. The whistle blew and Gif came running towards the pair.
