But instead they were falling to pieces.

Peeped out from his place Of hiding
And deity Slighted, unn0ticed at all.
Thankful that he through riding

With hardly chance for stretch.

And, with critical eye each took glance
Al the kid who did not retreat.
But who calmly pulled at cigarette butt,
And waited to hear q reply
To the question asked when he hrst made his bow
And broke up game that was tie.

And "0ld Dynamite started through him.

'Or Dynamite Brown will up and Fet hled,

To heed the advice. or threats he bad heard,
But acted As unafraid.
With look at the crowd. he started TO talk.
To tell them his tale Of woe,
His name. 20 he said. was Chase Long HittG."
The rest Of the yarn ran just 50:
Il guess I'm in wrong With you men gathered
Mound,
But it's only q hard-lucks bull.
I'm only kid with q barrel of nerve
And nothing like inside pull
It's make good or back down with ne all the time
And that's Why I'm here IN your camp,
To deliver the goods as you'd have Il arrive
You'll forget that you thought me a Tramp
81 may sound 10 you like . fresh oue who thinks
That he owns both sides Of the street.
But slip me some oats and a baseball suit,
And I'll show you that am the meat
Every inch Of my name has : baseball unG,
And the whole has 4 sound that's not false.
Just take 1t from me. I'm the kid that you want,
And well WIN the old rag in a waltz
