two o'clock
Tom was pitcher , while Larry played first base , Dick second , and Sam was down in center , to use those nimble legs of his should occasion require . Fred was shortstop , and the balance of the club was made up of the best players the school afforded . The Saturday chosen for the game was an ideal one , clear and not too warm . The students from Pornell arrived early , and so did the other visitors , and by two o'clock the grounds were crowded . As before a parade was had . Then the umpire came out and gave each team fifteen minutes for practice . `` We 're in luck , '' said Dick , when Putnam Hall won the toss and took last innings .
