The following paraphrase of Balti
more SIM poem is submitted by Keno: y
When Cooper hunts, and gets to first
We cheer his feat with pride
The ball twists slowly down the line,
And never rolls outside.
When BrOphy makes sacrifice
His dizziness moves us all,
But o. the real hI-h-lng comes
When Mooney stings the ball
For Mooney has nervous way
OF handling his bat;
The pitchers hate to watch his ewes
They don't know where they re at.
He stands there ready with the stick
Upon the sphere to fall,
And o. the crowd lets out yell
When Mooney stings the ball.
Yes. Mooney was designed by fate
To make the pitchers mourn;
The foxy in-shoots and the wides
He lets pass by with sCorn
He stands regardless of the crowd
The strikes the umpire's call,
Until the sphere floats o er the plate
Then Mooney stings the ball.
1t moves us when the centre field
Pulls down the fly he's cursed
1t thrills us when the shOrt-stop throw
Cuts off man at first.
But, o, the fierce excitement when,
The bases filled, We all
Leap up, and howl and dance and yell,
When Mooney stings the ball
To "localiZe" this poem more distinctly
and completely the JOURNAL constructs
an octave that seems Indispensable:
man on third, two batters nit,
A run will win the game
If Mooney makes home-run hit
DeathleSs will be his fame,
lis then he pulls dOwnway his lid
H.4 tn no cal
To tother side he shifts his qud
And forthwith. stings the ball
The base ball atmosphere is cleared
some and the sun is beginning to come
through the clouds.

declined as he says he has his business
to look after and in managing "a base
ball team he would frequently not have
time to look up the committee,,w is to
manage the manager.
As no enterprise can be run without
finances, it behooves thei finance com
mttee to get together and run the team
themselves. They are capable and all

old game success. The material is at
hand and a good strong team can be
gathered i'll very short time.
Games can be arranged with Cumbe1
land. Mt. Savage, Midland and Pied
mont right away, and if the committee
will get good start it is sure-enough
fact that good base ball will prevail here
this season. Let every fan" and
"rooter." AS well as everyone who loves
the good old game, get his shoulder TO
the wheel and help the committee make
the season IL SucCeSS.-krHO.

great great grandchildren of the found
ers under the auspices of Board of
Trade, recently organ zed, will hold an
"OId Home Week next September 4th
to l0ih, inclusive, and the advertising
already given to this enterprise has
drawn inquiries from eight firms look
ing for manufac' uring sites.
This report is not only instructive
generally but there is local interest in
the fact that one of the most emit priSing
of Palmyra's promoters Is a Fro>thurg
boy-Conrad f. Schneider. He ischalr-
man of the "Old Home committee
on printing and advertising" and at
the Board of Trade organization
