AN ANCESTRAL ODE
BY WILLIE GREEN

What are those strange devices. pop. down in

They must have cost that Carnegie pretty
handsome sum.
Did all men wear wings on their shoes, and
each one have goat?
And who was John L. Sullivan, Of whom histc-
rians wrote Z"
'Do thou come hither, son, while 1 the tale

I'm glad to see your interest In our ancestors
Of old.
When Honus Wagner ranged the SEAS a pirate
Of rare fame
They frightened tots to sleep at night BY men

And Gunboat Schmidt, the pugilist. could hit 4

They used his blows instead Of rock to pave a

And Baker, who slew giants with a club they
called bat.
Was something, even in those days. for men to
marvel at.
The turkey trot? Tut, tut. my son. ask not

For though they stopped it in those days they're

I've read about the game of golf and tennis, as
then played,
And how Mcdonald threw that weight and our
foredads dismayed.
Jersey mosquitoes were as big as any sand hill

Twas one Of them, my son, that broke that
New York Yacht club chain.
Those funny gloves? Oh, yes, my son, the Hogan

away day at the grand circuit race
meet here offered a program rather
poor by contrast with those which pre-
ceded it.
The 2:06 trot, the new classification,
failed to develop the speed looked for.
None. of the limited field offered the

Auto Zombro, winner of the first two
heats. and Herman Wenger, the fa-
vorite. the latter annexing the three
subsequent ones.
The 2:16 trot belonged to Lord

In the final heat the Dewey horse
graduated himself into the 1913 class
of 2:10 trotters. stepping the mile in
