Al Ogan, the promising cub first baseman and captain of the Yannigans, was not a bad fellow at heart. He had been as disgusted as any of his companions at Locke's apparently inexcusable behavior which had lost them the first game with the regulars, and had joined heart and soul in the cold ignoring of the southpaw twirler from that time forth. But at the end of three or four days, during which he had watched Lefty's work closely, he began to wonder whether he was right or not.
"Maybe he was sick or something that day," he thought to himself late one morning, as he stood watching Lefty pitching to Buck Fargo. "He hasn't been the same chap since. He's certainly got smoke, and he can put the stuff on the pill when he tries."
