To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Dead ball! Throw wild and cut it short!" came the advice from the seats. Then a sophomore was tried out. But the crowd was becoming highly impatient. "We want Rip! "We demand Rip. Give us Rip or give us chloroform!" came the insistent clamor. "We'll come another day to see the dead ones, if you insist. " Coach Luce looked over at Fred, and nodded. The tumultuous cheering lasted two full min- utes, for Gridley was always as strong on fans as it wanted to be on players. Fred Ripley was flushed b...ut proud. He tried to hold himself jauntily, with an air of indiffer- ence, as he stood with the ball clasped in both hands, awaiting the signal. Ripley felt that he could afford to be satisfied with himself. The advance consciousness of victory thrilled him. He had worked rather hard with Everett ; and, though the great pitcher THE HIGH SCHOOL PITCHES 127 had not succeeded in bringing out all that he had hoped to do with the boy, yet Everett had praised him only yesterday. One reason why Fred had not absolutely suited his trainer was that the boy had broken his training pledge by taking up with coffee.
