game for several days, I guess
“Yes, you see Tyler got an awful bat on the head and he’s out of the
game for several days, I guess. It’s none of my business, in a way, of
course, but, if you don’t mind me saying so, Thayer, it’s a poor idea to
let chances get by. If you’d been there today you might have had a slice
of luck and found yourself on the second for keeps. A fellow’s got to be
on the _qui vive_ all the time and not miss any chances, old chap.”
