Lumley Just Struck Out.

With the bases full and two runs
needed 20 tie the score club Lumley
came TO bat In Chicago the other day.
The poet tells the rest In touching
rhymes, prolonging the agony until the
very last line In the last verse,
with apologies to De Wolf Hopper
There was pride In Lumley's manner,
there was grace IN Lumley's gait
And much confidence Of bearing as he
sauntered 10 the plate,
For this wild western slugger was a
man Of battish fame,
And hit al this one juncture would
Tie up or win the gamel
So as the south-pawed Weimer rubbed
a brand-new ball in loan,
The gang OF Brooklyns on the sacks
prepared TO sCurry home,
The wriggling pitcher paved the ball
and then he let It n.y.
But Lumley never moved his bat as
the Whiz2ing curve shot by
Strike one!' Moran, the umpire, eX-
claimed with rancous growl,
And the bloacherltes. delighted turned
loose a Joyous howl,
Hey fan i'm out, Jake Welmer."
cried the Wild mob IN the stand
And Welmer with ohuckle ground

with a Rcowl of savage purpose great
Lumley's visago shone-
lie braced his bat for action, and once
more the bal was thrown!
Aye, Whistling through the ether once
more the spheroid few,
And Lumley never touched Il, and the
umpire bawlod strike twol'
The scowl was deep on Lumlcy's face,
his teeth We're clinched IN wrath.
He ga2ed with anxious longing at the
far.off ilrst-base path
Again Jake Weimer gripped the ball
again he let it go,
And Lumley didn't carve the air with
any vicious blow!
Instead he stood there like a post, or
like n streak Of frost
The umpire beloved out strike
