They are looking forward - the an

All sorts Of interesting excuses are

His service was peculiar to himself.
If he missed the first ball he would
put Just as much power behind the
second one, and he managed to get

what TO expect or If they guessed
what was coming they did not know
how it would arrive. His style was
poor. but the fact remains that he
