round, with no change in the score,
 But when the first man I'D hit safe the crowd began to roar: The din increased echo Of ten
 thousand shouts was heard When the pitcher hit the second aud

 three runs to tie the game! A triple meant the highest niche In
 Mudville's hall of fame; But here the rally ended md the
 gloom was deep as night, When No 4 fouled to catcher and 5
 flew out to right. A dismal groan in chorus came-a
 scowl was on each face When Casey walked up, bat in hand,
 and slowly took his place; His bloodshot eyes in fury g'eamed-
 his teeth were clenched in hate, He. gave his cap vicious hook and
 pounded on the plate. But fame is fleeting as the wind and
 glory fades away; There were no wild and wOoliy cheers
 mo glad acclaim this day; They hissed and groaned and hooted
 as they clamored, Strike him But Casey gave no outward sign that
 he had heard the shout. The pitcher smiled and cut one loose
 across the plat it sped- Another hiss-another groan- Strike one!" the umpire snid; Zip! Like shot seeund curve
 broke just below his knee ss Strike two!" the umpire roarcd
 aloud-but Casey made no plea. No roasting for the umpire now-his
 was an easy lot; But here the pitcher whir:ed again
 was that a rife shot? A Whack-a crack--and out through space the leather pellet flew A blot against the distant sky--a speck against the blue. Above. the fence in center field i'll rapid whirling flight The sphere sailed on-the blot grew dim and. then was lost to sight. Ten thousand hats were thrown in afr-ten thousand threw a fit But no one ever found the ball that mighty Casey hit.

WRESTLING
LACY IS FAST
Interest in His Match With Roach Enlivened Because of Victory
 Last Night.

The attractive cards for the wrest- ling carnival to be held in Simons- vile Athletic club rooms next Thurs day night were distributed through the city and the state to-day. Inter- est in the match will now increase since Lacy, who is to meet Jack Roach, threw Benny Jones last night. This Jones was rated as one of the leaders in his class, but he succumbed to the strength and cley- erness of the Adams wrestler. Roach feels now that he will have to hustle to beat his man, but he is working like Trojan and he will go on the mat better than he ever was before. So confident is he that he will beat the Massachusetts grappler that he will back himself for any part. of $10O.s The preliminary between Kid smith of the Brooklyn Athletic club and Young Blondin" of the South End Social club will be another whirlwind affair. This is for points and each boy will try to do his best to win the decision if he does not win a fall. The two matches should be the best ever seen down there, for both will be for blood with all feelings of friendship eliminated.

BIG BASE BALL DEAL.

One of the biggest baseball deals since the formation of the American league is being worked out with Cleve- land and Toronto as the storm centers, according to Charlie Carr, now mem Der of the Cincinnati Reds and head of the Carr Bradley company. It is no less a plan than the formation of a new league, national in it's scope-a Canadian national league. It's success means a new era in Canadian sport and the nationalizing of the American sport in Canada At present there is no Canadian baseball league worthy of the name. The cities which will have teams in the new league are Mon- treal, Ottawa and Kingston in the east, and Hamilton, Guelph and London in the west. Associated with Carr in the enterprise Is Ed c. Mack, president of the Toronto club, and prominent cit .isens of each of the Canadian cities named.
