have few terrors for the American
league batters now serving with the
colors. according to a letter received
here from Eddie Klepfer, former
Cleveland pitcher. now a sergeant
with the American expeditionary
force. K1epfer said there is little
difference in the zip" of a German
snipers bullet and the "whizz" of
Walter Johnson's fast one, except that
Johnson's offering may have a hop"
on it. The letter says:
'I have been over the top and
came back without being hit. I.was
a member of scouting squad, You
know how it feels when you are up to
bat and Walter johnson buzzes one
of his fast ones past your ears. That's
how it feels when the Huns are trying
to pick you off. 1t sure is great
sensation-that of being fired at by
some one you know means it."
