You could try

substring-before(substring-after(normalize-space(.),' '),' ')

but note this will be prone to break if (when) we see variation from 
the pattern on which it depends.

While the examples you have given follow that pattern, they also 
follow an indefinite number of other patterns. That is, we still 
don't have a specification of the problem, meaning an actual solution 
is impossible.

Cheers, Wendell
