After wasting one, Wolfers used the spit ball. It came from his hand with great speed and “broke” handsomely at exactly the proper point, taking a sharp jump.
Dunnerwurst tried to hit it.
Again he missed by at least a foot.
“Why don’t you drive it over the fence?” laughed the Wonder from Wisconsin.
“Sdop vetting der pall all ofer und I vill dood id,” asserted Hans. “Uf der ball hit me, id vos such a slipperiness dot id vould der bat pop off a foul for. Yah!”
“Oh, I can toss you one and you can’t hit it.”
“I vish I thought id!”
“Well, here goes.”
Wolfers actually tossed the Dutchman one.
Hans basted it full and fair on the trade-mark!
