“Nice bunch of fellows,” continued Slim affably.
“Good enough, I s’pose,” said the other.
“What studies are you taking?” asked Slim, his suspicions deepening.
The other hesitated a moment.
“Voconometry and trigoculture,” he got out, with an effort.
“What?” asked the puzzled Slim.
But just then the inning ended, and the sandy-haired pitcher had to go to the box.
Slim made his way back to his own crowd.
“Did you fellows ever hear of voconometry and trigoculture?” he asked.
“What are you giving us?” jeered Tom, with a grin.
