W hen 'Scrappy" Tied the Score.
You may talk OF baseball playing,
You may talk OF having fun
Talk of trying situations,
And OF games that took the bun;
But the biggest battle royal
Ever fought the broad land DER
Was the Statesmen with the Spiders,
When "Scrappy" tied the score.
When the two opposing forces
Proudly strobe forth on the green,
Thousands of cXultant voices
Cheered the teams. both calm, serene;
For they both came forth To battle,
Each victory foreswore,
In that most exciting contest,
When "Scrappy" tied the score.
After eight contested innings
Had been gloriously fought
The record OF the ScOre-card
Stood against us-two To naught.
But the gloom of desperation
Lifted like an eagles soar
From the Wagner aggregation,
When "Scrappy' tied the score.
This is how the great hit happened
How uney asked, Where are we 9tH''
Two were out and two on bases,
When the captain tonk the bat.
You could see determination
In his eyes, and crimson gore
Was written on his yisage,
When 'Scrappy'' tied the score.
"Ball Onei' loudly rOared the umpire;
A gain the twirler took the sphere;
"Strike oner' and the anxious roOters
Suddenly were filled with fear.
Two balls was the next announcement;
''Strike two! Then we heard no more;
For the brain grew light and dizzy,
When Scrappy' tied the score.
For a second deathIike stiffness
Followed on that wful crash,
And the bail, with speed Of lightning,
Far to leftward like flash
Struck the Sward. Three Thousand voices
Broke in one trlumphal roar,
And three thousand reasons tottered,
When "Scrappy'' tied the score.
You may talk OF yelling madmen.
You may talk OF tingling nerves,
Talk of trying situations,
Talk of twirlers and their curves;
But for genuine excitement,
Though you search the broai land DER,
Nothing equals quite the inning
When 'SCrappy'' tel the score.
