CaSey Af 7be Bar
By ERNEST L. THAYER, 1888.

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mud
 vile nine that day: The score stood four to two with but one
 inning more to play. And then when Cooney died at first, and
 Barrows did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of
 the game. A struggling few got up to go in deep
 despair The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal
 in the human breast; They thought if only Casey could but get
 a whack at that We'd put up even money now with Casey
 at the bat. But Flynn preceded Casey. as did also
 Jimmy Blake, And the former was lulu and the lat
 ter was a cake; So upon the stricken multitude grim mel
 aneholy sat, For there seemed but little chance of Ca-
 sey's getting to the bat. But Flynn let drive a single, to the won derment of all, And Blake, the much despised, tore the
 cover off the ball: And when the dust had lifted and the
 men saw what had occurred, There was Johnny safe at second and
 Flynn a-hugging third. Then from 5000 throats and more there
 rose lusty yell It rumbled through the valley, it rattled
 in the dell; It knocked upon the mountain and re-
 coiled upon the flat For Casey. mighty Casey, was advancing
 to the bat There was ease in Casey's manner as he
 stepped into his place. There was pride in Casey's bearing and a
 smile on Casey's face. And when. responding to the cheers, he
 lightly doffed his hat, No stranger in the crowd could doubt
 twas Casey at the bat. Ten thousand eyes were on his as he
 rubbed his hands with dirt Five thousand tongues applauded when
 he wiped them on his shirt.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-27

Then while. the writhing pitcher ground
 the bail into his hip, Defiance gleamed in Caseys eye, sheer
 curled Caseys lip. And now the leather-covered sphere came
 hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in naughty
 grandeur there. Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
 unheeded sped That ain't my style" said Casey. Strike
 one," the umpire said. From the benches black with people there
 went up muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm waves on a
 stern and distant shore. Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted
 someone in the stand; And it's likely they'd have killed him
 had not Casey raised his hand. With a smile of Christian charity great
 Casey's visage shone; He st;lied the rising tumult; he bade the
 game go on; He signalled to the pitcher, and once
 more the spheroid flew; But Casey still ignored it. and the umpire
 said, Strike two." 'fTauQ! cried the nlauueneu lHousdnus,
 and the echo answered fraud; But one scornful look from Casey and
 the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold,
 they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn't let
 that ball go by again. The sheer is gone from Casey's lip, his
 teeth are clenched in hate; He pounds with cruel violence his bat
 upon the plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball, and
 now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force
 of Casey's blow. Oh! somewhere in this favored land the
 sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and
 somewhere hearts are light. And somewhere men are laughing, and
 somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville-mighty
 Casey has struck out.

Mobile August 26.-(Special. )-Birming- ham dropped the fourth and last game of the final series in this city through the excellent pitching of Hixon. But for Thornton's error in letting in short single get through his legs in the fifth inning the visitors would have been shut out.
 Both teams played great baseball in the field, with the exception of Bauer in left field for the visitors, who dropped a high fly, giving Mobile her first score. The other two runs were earned by the locals. Henline, first man up ia the first inning for Birmingham, beat out bunt to third, but died on that base. In the fifth in ming Douglass was hit by Hixon and was forced at second by Smith. Walters hit safe to center and Thornton allowed the ball to get through his legs and 1t went all the way to the fence. Smith scored and Walters reached third on the error Larsen played for the squeeze" and placed a beautiful bunt towards first Walters scoring.
 Douglass singled in the seventh and Meek did likewise in the ninth, but no advance was made in either case. Raub was brought in to bat for Bauer in the ninth but he failed to deliver.
 Mobile started something in the first inning With two down Daley singled to left. Massing hit a long, high fly to left, which Bauer dropped, Daley scoring by running the hit out. Bauer made a great throw to catch him at the plate.
 Benson singled in the third, but died on second. Watson, first up in the fourth, singled and was sacrificed to second. He went to third on Fishers infield out and scored on Hixon's safe drive to center.
 In the fifth, Benson, first up, singled and was sacrificed to second. Massing was an inheld out, but Sabrie singled and Benson scored.
 Carlos Smith laughed when he saw Hixon, a left-hander, going into the box.
 The Barons got only four hits off Hixon and Smith had nothing to say.

Some Liye Sport Yak

Henley is in form 1t is said that he is a twirler of major league class. This show ing would indicate such to be the case.
 The average fan no doubt thinks that putting a substitute batter in in the ninth seldom gets a team anything, and yet out of 213 times it has been tried this year in the American association it has made good 62 times-an average of 290. In other words the grand average of substitute batting is higher than the average of regular batting. Minneapolis has tried this more than any other team.
 Can you beat the. Cincinnati clubs ex- perience of this year in regard to pitch CTS? George Upp was carried for two weeks with a sore arm and then sent back to Columbus; Durham fired, then pitches the best ball in American association; Mccarthy nursed for six weeks with lame arm, Kidnapped by Pittsburg, traded to Boston, where he developed into one of the winners of the season; Bob Ewing sunstruck Coakley laid up with stom- ach trouble; Spade Kidnapped while he was doing fine work and recovered by the sur render of Jake Weimer; Billy Campbell out of it for weeks with a lame arm; Jack Doescher deserted team twice and finally quit altogether.
 Once upon a time, as the fairy tales have it, Freddy Parent used to be con- sdered one of the country's best sack swipers, but the Chicago shortstopper is not destined to lead the Rallies brigade this season. Fred, who has been playing with bum prop all season, went through 66 games this year without stealing a base. In the sixty-seventh combat Par ent made two steals.

for $7500, thought to be the biggest price ever paid for a mnior league out fielder and rivaling the rumored s11,000 deal whereby Pitcher Marquard of the Indianapolis American association club goes to the New York Giants. All of the offers were turned down, however, and the player has been sold to the Boston Americans for S500
 It has generally been believed that Speaker has been a farmland of the Boston club and was merely loaned to the local club. However. as a matter of fact, Speaker belonged to the Little Rock club internationally and Manager Finn was at liberty to sell the player to whenever he wished and at whatever price he could receive. To be sure, If he had turned Speaker over to any club other than the Bostons he would have been guilty of breach of faith, and 1t was this that deterred him-but as far as any laws of organized baseball are concerned, he had the right to dispose of the player at his discretion.
