THE CASEY RENAISSANCE.

so of them the following space is
wasted upon that classic of the ball
yard:
1t looked extremely rocky for the Mud
vile nine that day;
The score stood two to four, with but
an inning left to play.
So when Cooney died at second, and
Burrows did the same,
A pallor wreathed the features of the
patrons of the game.
A struggling few got up to go, leav-
ing there the rest,
With that hope which springs eternal
within the human breast.
For they thought: IF only Casey
could get a whack at that"
They'd put up even money now. with
Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey. and like
wise so did Blake.
And the former was a puddin'. and
the latter was a fake.
SO on that stricken multitude a death
like silence sat.
For there seemed but little chance of
Casey's getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive single" to the
wonderment of all,
And the uch-despised Blakely store

they saw what had occurred,
There was Blakey safe at second, and
Flynn huggin' third.
Then, from the gladdened multitude
went up joyous yell,
1t rumbled in the mountainous, 1t
ratified in the dell;
1t struck upon the hillside and re-
bounded on the fiat;
For Casey. mighty Casey, was adj
vancing to the bat
There was ease in Casey's manner as
ne stepped into his place:
There was pride in Caseys bearing,
and 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 him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt.
Five thousand tongues appIauded
when he wiped them on his shirt
Then while the New York pitcher
ground the ball into his hip
Defiance cleaned in Casey's eve,
sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather covered sphere
came hurting through the air.
And Casey stood awatching 1t In
naughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsnan the ball

They saw his face grow stern and cold,

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his

He pounds with cruel violence his bat

And now the pitcher holds the ball,
and now he let's 1t go,
And now the air is shattered by the

If the word of Ketchel is taken as

it should not, the logical man to sue

others, and he better than anyone on

While Ketchel looked favorably up
on Kelly, any number regard Papke as

There Is plenty of room for opinions,
for both deserve consideration. On
records, however, Papke has far the
better claim. Papke will for the time

1t is hardly likely that any Of the other

The only way to settle the affair is
