The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1913-05-27

There is a white streak the field
cloud of dust at the home plate!
The umpire stands with hands extended palms downward
bursting of acclaim echoes and re-ecoes
the space of the park Again and again it bursts FORTH
in thrilling electric power Thrysix thousand eyes strain
toward the who is sapping the dust from his white
uniform.
M0RIARIrY IS HOME!
All the world Is a baseball diamond You of the
players Perhaps you have reached first by your efforts
1t may be that the sacrifices of parents friends have
enabled you to reach second. Then someone's long
fly into the business world ely that fong'
enough to prevent him gong ont someone's fuke
advanced to third The opposition against you third is
stronger than at either first second At third you
to be reckoned with Your opponents all their
attention you Pitchers and catchers coaches and oppos
ing fans watching to tip off your plans and Illustrate
them From third you become either splendid
dismal failure.
Don't die third
What doing to win the that life is ready
to mark up against your nane9 Third base has laures
which you rest What you doing third? Are
You waiting for TO 'bat you n?'' Suppose he
misses his miss is yours, too # place all de-
pendence else, his failure spells yours. What
you doing thrd9 Waiting for Something turn
upF' Don't-nothng turns up, but the thumbs of the
thousands of men who watch you may turn down and
make you permanent failure Moriarity wouldn't have
scored had he waited, for Muin didn't hit the ball-and
that run was absolutely necessary to save the game That
run gained in unreasonable fraction of time, but
the difference between and failure is very very
often measured in seconds
DON'T DIE ON THIRD!
Had Moarity been the night before he would have
played the game according to roune but Morarity doesn't
He doesn't drink he is olfashoned enough
to go church on Sunday He knows that a clean fife
means clear head He knows that legs that tread the path
of rreguarity cannot win when running ninety feet against
swift ball that travels sixty feet He respects his body
and his mind and they in turn him up the
traction of their power Moriartys not fool
hardy dash 1t wasn't toss-lp with luck 1t was DELHI
crate mathematical work Any fool could have led off
pectaculory, but only trained body and alert mind
could have stolen home right under the the catcher
whose hands were closing the ball Even game
work Work itself is and has its rules as it's sud
den openings SO, don't die third Bring third every
bit Of your honest strengths study conditions; postpone
thinking OF your luck until you hear the umpire call
Then you'll score all right
Another Verse for Andy

Is true that you We made dough selling armor
And back in the COS when boy country was torn
