THE GAME:
FIRST INNING.

Now with last tug at his hat
Big Delehanty came to bat.
He got to first on four bad balls
And down to second safely crawls,
When Mailman hit a daisy one
That Stafford stopped, but on the run.
Hamiltcn's small infield fly
Was caught by Staff-Good eye! Good eysi
Clements hit TO center field
And Delchanty homeward spelled.
Meanwhile Hallman took a brace
And stood triumphant on third base.
Cross hit to Fuller, who threw to Staff,
Who dropped it, to the rooters' wrath.
Hallman scored, and Clements out
BY force at third produced a shout.
Then Sullivan to Stafford hit
He threw to Doyle and Sully quit.
Two runs.
Hot buns!
Now Fuller drew four measly shoots
And went to first by easy scoots.
Van Haltren got four balls also
And straightway down to first did go,
Advancing Fuller by this feat
To second, where he took seat.
Davis down to Hallman hit,
And Van was forced because Of il.
Doyle knew trick worth two of that
His single hit the fence, that's fat.
Fuller scored, and Davis stirred
Tis stumps and landed safe on third.
Tiernan's hit scored Davis too.
Staff went to first on balls, hurrooi
Burke struck thrice at the spinning sphere,
And Burkeyille sadly moaned, "Oh, dearl"
A pretty single Farrell sent,
And skipping down to first he went.
twas pretty work, and what is more,
Enabled Doyle and Mike to score.
Then Farrell climbed the second stair.
twas no use. Rusie famed the air.
Four runs.
Great guns.
SECOND INNING.
Boyle sent an easy one to Staff,
Who didn't fail to do his half,
But promptly threw him out to Doyle,
Who didn't let the good thing spoil.
Then Weyhing also famed the air.
Thus Rusie evened things for fair.
Then Delehanty followed suit
And made the third man out to boot.
No run,
Not one.
Here Clements found he was too fat,
And Buckley went behind the bat.
Fuller's smash in center falls;
Van Haltren gets his base on balls.
In this respect Cap Davis We'd.
The bases were all occupied.
Doyle forced the cap at second base,
Where Hallman calmly holds his face,
But in the turmoil that ensued
Short Fuller struck an attitude,
Then down the last course took a skate
And like rabbit crossed the plate.
Mike singled to the right field loan.
Van Haltren also scampered home.
Then Stafford missed the fatal strike.
AT second Hallman caught our Mike.
Score two
That's truel
THIRD INNING.
Then Hallman sent a liner hot,
Which Rusie let 60 like shot.
The batter ambled to first base,
And Amos hid his blushing face.
Then Hamilton to Davis hit,
And Hallman took bag 2 on IL.
On Buckley's sacrifice to Doyle
Hallman went TO Davis soil.
Then Cross lined one to Fuller's ground.
He neatly grabbed IL on the bound
And slung the pellet down to Doyle,
Who gently plucked 1t from the soil,
Touched first bag with his Trilby boot.
"My," yelled the crowd, "but you're
beauti"
No score.
Encore.
For us Burke hit to center field,
A single the resultant yield.
Then all Burkeville with one acclaim
Rose up and cheered their hero's name.
Next Farrell, seeing Fullers hit,
Got up and duplicated IL.
The Duke took second. Eddie third,
When Delehanty sadly erred.
Then Cross, who's never known to scowl.
Froze tight TO Rusie's little foul,
But Fuller once more four balls drew
And quickly down TO first base few.
Four bad ones, too, Van Haltren got,
Which forced Ed Burke home on the spot.

Dut Buckley tapped him on the back.
Doyle smashed single out 10 right.
