AFTER THE CANES
Our Uncle Harry climbed the old mans knees
Begged for o game, boys, DO, Rebcr, please"
Make IL q series play out Of town
Give ns a chance Fir, TO do you up brown.
"YoI have no team, man, that we cannot lick.
Try something easy. play with Lost Creek
Work up a record send me the facts
And viii chow you, whore the chicken got
the AK
After the games are over, after the battles
won.
After the papers cboppiug after we ralSed the
mon
Many neck Is aching II you could know the
facts
Bradigau turned the tables, and Reber got the
AK.
'Brick bats win greet u.s. that was all the cry,
who would play IN Shenandoah, no, Sir, not l."
Then came the challen {c, backed by man
Said he was thirsty-rtne Pottsglles to tan.
Reber replied boys, "Wcll, III agree,
Two games az Poland, in Pottsvile three"
We took him up,boys, sent him the facts,
Now you can see which chicken got the ak.
Five weeks have passed, boys, we are still
ahead.
True to our neighbor5 though they are dead.
They tried to tell us, tried to explain;
How It had happened, ere they were slain.
Now in the grave yard, marked by a stone,
Dolan's Park heroes -dead-name unknown.
How came this mark here Can it be facts
Yes Bradley did it with his little AK.
W. S.
The PottSville papers probably know by
this time that Fulmer has not refused to play
with Shenandoah when setley is in the
games.
"Phenom" Smith, Potts and several other
Pottsville players saw the great game.
A county seat paper says Mahanoy City
would do well to either import an umpire or
go out of the business.
The Mahanoy City correspondents Of the
Philadelphia papers were pretty "brassy' to
class the last Mahanoy Reading game as a
championship game. When one side makes
- errors and the other II it is far from
championship form.
One thing is certain, rum and base ball
does not mix. Pottsville did not always size
up to the views of their patrons but the
people knew it was not on account Of rum
that they played bad ball 1t is not safe to
depend on a lusher,-RepuJHcan.
All setley had to eat on the day he pitched
against Remove was cheese sandwich. Where
would the misery of the Removes have ended
if the meal had been a turkey dinner?
The Miners Journal base ball editor says
Shenandoah was only too glad to have the
last Pottsville game called at the fifth inning,
Well, we'll, that is a joke. Just get down to
the real humor of the assertion and think
oyer it. Shenandoah only made eight runs
the last time it went to the bat and was
anxious to have the game called. Ha Ha!
By the way, wonder if Manager Reber
found that old.bal that Setley couldn't find.
If he didn't perhaps Setley can give him a
pointer.
The only thing Mahanoy City is able to
win on the diamond is the 'hOodlumship."
Shenandoah almost annhilated us last
Saturday with their collection of profes.
/ sionals We expected to have a few profess
sionals ourselves, but they did not come Sc
| Shenandoah had the ciuch we thought was
ours We will meet those base ball gentle
men this afternoon at Dolans Park and we
will give them dose of their own medicine
Wait till you see with what poor grace they
will gulp it down PottsUiIie Reulc,o. The
foregoing was written before the ball was
over and the writer of it never dreamed that
! the Pottsvilles would have to do the gulpinl
they did in the fifth inning. That eight
grain pill is only drop Of the doses our boys
have in store for Pottsyille any time she viii
step forward and open her mouth. We havC
pretty clearly demonstrated tnat we are The
doctors.
Judging from the results of the past season
there may be two leagues in this region mex
year Shenandoah will be in the senio
class, while Pottsville and Mahanoy City will
take a course for the season in the iunio
class with Lost Creek Jackson's Patch anC
Smoky HolloR. If the Pottsvilles ant
Mahanoys behave themselves and play hare
in the minor league the people may consen
to their being admitted in the higher class il
1895.
Shenandoah has arranged a series of game
with the Eastons of the State league.
The National league base ball season O
1898 is practically over, only few NOR
games remaining TO be played, and thes

won by the Boston club, The coal regiol
championship was settled before the seasol
started The only club that had the gall I

Shenandoah was obliged to put on it

Of the claim. We will keep our uniforms 0

In the Easton club the shenandoahs' wi

therefore we will not predict that the visit

Of saying that the "coal diggers' will kee
them at work on the diamond. We hope
win most of the series, but should we los
we will accept the defeats gracefully and nc

bats. We are game sports and can take de

The home team has great faith in bein
able to get some of the National League clul
