song ran like this:

Base ball or warfare, the sagas run:
Earth IN these dreams relies.
And If the fallen should creep away,

What says the fan? 'Tis game in all,
Game for the strong and true;
Come let us toss ont the opening bali
Base ball has come-for you
Il
To the Observer 1t seemed that the
night winds were kidding themselves
along. In the first place base ball
allows a wide limit for chance, not to
mention craft. But being wise in his
day and generation the Observer for
bore to argue with the night winds.
Any fool can argue with night winds.
And SO you see he didn't get any

But these facts he did develop. That
the fan in Washington today Is as
fanatically loyal at heart to the mem
bers of the team representing him as
were the people-who-s stay ed at ONE
during the wars. And the propensity
to critfcise is only an outgrowth OF
the same fanatical spirit. a desire to
aid and do what may be done and to
guide men to victory. This is in the
hearts of all men
There were a number of observa
tions which the Observer intended to
make But he passed them up because
he would be panned for trying to get
technical
And he came to the final conclusion,
as he Wended his way homeward, that
the reason that fans don't go to the
