“Well, we’ve got a brand-new alley at our gym., and any time you want to get up a team and bowl we’ll be ready for you.”
“And we’ll wipe up the alley with you,” added Grimes.
“Maybe you will,” retorted Dale, who did not fancy this style of talking.
“Come over next Saturday afternoon,” said Roy Bock. “Bring over the best team Putnam Hall can put out. We’ll show you how to bowl.” And he laughed.
“Perhaps we will come over,” answered Stuffer; and then the two sloops separated.
“Bock makes me tired,” said Pepper. “I’d not bowl with him, even if I was good at knocking over the pins.”
“I’d like to beat the Pornell team,” answered Dale. “They are such blowers!”
“They like to blow because they are all rich boys,” said Andy. “I’d certainly like to bowl against them and defeat them.”
“We could put Emerald on our team,” said Dale. “I know he can bowl real well.”
“All right, go ahead if you want to,” said Jack. “I’ll root for you.”
