Real Base Ball.

(w. ]. hampton in New York Worldly
Oh, take me away from the base ball
game
Where science is at the bat
And the players play
In a technical way
TIL rube can't tell where they're
At
Where scores are highest when moth
ing at an
And nobody takes a base:
Where nobody makes
Any sort of mistakes
And everything's Just in place.
Where spectators keep on the watch
for plays
So close that it gives them a pain:
And wnatever's done
In hit. catch or run
They scream at to take OF the
strain
oh. carry me back to the old-fashioned
game
That doesn't know science at all.
Where the sides go in
With a whoop to win.
And they don't do n thing but play
ball
Where twenty or thirty or forty runs
Are likely as not to be made.
And the bags are hot
From many a swat
In games that are played as is
played.
Where the catcher don't look like an
armored knight
Ard the pitcher is not so intense,
The batter can't hit
EN- a little bit
But bangs 'em clean over the fence.
Where something is doing that sure
Stirs up the soul
About every minute or so.
With the home runs made
And double plays played
And the whole darn thing on the go.
Where grandstand and bleachers are
all of a kind.
And are there because the9 are
there
To see a good game
That's good Just the same
Though science be up in the air.
