HIAwATnA AND BASEBALL

From The Milwaukee Sentinel
"Then, again." said Hiawatha,
81 am somewhat interested
In this baseball proposition.
I'm redhot, ranting roofer,
Very fond of pitchers battles,
Fond of extra-inning contests,
Daffy over foxy team work,
Always out to kill the umpire
When he makes bum decision.
1t is claimed, my little dearies,
That this pastime was invented
BY a gent named Father Chadwick,
Who was aided aud abetted
BY old Granddad Adrian Arson.
Should you ask me who discovered
And originated baseball,
l would tell you in a jiffy
II was Skin the Sassy -Muskrat
OF the tribe of the Ojibways-
Of the sporty. old Ojibways,
Who received their correspondence
Where the falls OF Minnehaha
Clean and gurgle in the sunlight,
This young Skin-tbe- Sassy Muskrat
Was thoroughbred from wayback,
Very game was he, and nifty.
He could set in for an evening
And corral the red and blue ones,
He could guzzle the firewater
Like dry old dromedary
Stocking up at an oasis,
And it never seemed to touch him.
After scheming for fortnight
All the braves he called around him
And explained his proposition;
Then two teams were straightway
chosen,
One was called the Mighty Mud
Hens,
Captain, Skin-the- Sassy Muskrat;
And the other Heap Bad Actors,
Captain, Big Chief Bite the Features,
On level stretch of meadow
Near the shores of Gitchie Gummie
These two factions came together.
Buck Afraid of His Reflection
Volunteered to act as umpire;
Up came Skin-the- Sassy Muskrat,
Swung at several wide pitches,
Hit the ozone with his war club.
"Batter out" the umpire shouted,
Whereupon the Mighty Mud Hens,
Led by Skin-the-Sassy Muskrat,
Drew their scalping knives and
started
For the luckless arbitrator.
uck-Afraid- Of His Reflection;
Very thoroughly they scalped him,
Then they made him run the gaunt-
let.
This, my children, is the story
OF the rise and fall of baseball
In the land of the Ojibways
