You have not offered any choices, so therefore, I will elaborate on what you have written.
Based on the idea that he was picking teams means something in the hierarchy of recess. I am guessing that he is in about the 5th or 6th grade, and would be embarrassed if he chose a girl first instead of his friends. At this age and at this stage in his development, having boys on his team is much more important than having a girl. Would this mean that he likes her? Does he just want her for her talent of being the best batter? His relationships with his peers that are boys are much more important to him at this time of his life. I perceive that when he did pick a couple of boys, they agreed TOGETHER that they should get the best batter. This way it was in the best efforts of the TEAM and not that a boy was picking a girl.

HOW TO TELL A STORY AND OTHERS by Mark Twain
Paragraph 5 stated that "The humorous story is told gravely." This statement narrows the author's main idea on "How to tell a story and others" to how a humorous story can be told. This means that the author's specific purpose for writing this short story was to explain how to tell a humorous story. Since this was not stated initially, the author decided to refine his main idea in this paragraph by stating clearly that "the humorous story is told gravely." This assertion helps the storyteller to conceal the funny aspect from their audience. He then differentiates telling a humorous story from a comic and witting stories.
Explanation:
Mark Twain wrote "How to Tell a Story and Others" in 1897 to inspire writers and other storytellers that in telling their stories they should be mindful of the type of storytelling that their audience like. Moreover, in the storytelling they must be resilient enough to hide the funny nature of the story while they are narrating it. The overall purpose is to enable their audience to have the last laugh. According to him, this makes telling a humorous storytelling a job for an artist.
