asL1pB. KRnLY. SLIDE.

The "On1y Kel'' was a man who copyrighted the idea. Of cutting bases.
 Kelly never tried to cut base ten feet-he wanted to score from first by running around the pftcher-and that is exactly what he did do in one game against New York
 He was on first when the batter rapped a grounder toward third. Without an instant's hesitation Kelly started straight toward the pitcher $ box, yelling, Watch Kelly! Watch Ke1ly!" at the top of his voice
 The umpire and the opposing play CTS had to much experience with KeI- Iy and his tricks to pay any atten- ton to him, so the third basaman scooped the ball and shot it to first, the umpire running there to watch the play.
 Kel almost ran over the pitcher, and then. with one heeting glance at the umpire turned and struck through the diamond for the plate.
 s-Outr' yelled the unap at the runner ct first base, and Then, turning quick ly he sought Kel, and discovered his nibs just sliding across the plate with the winning run.
 He had scored from first on an in field out; and, although the opposing team yelled long and loud, the ump was forced to admit that he had not seen Kelly cut a base, so the score counted.

OLD MAN NGRUMP'S COLUMN Stories Poems That the Old Man Heard Twenty
 Years Ago

A dismal groan in chorus came-a. scow1 was on each face When Casey walked up, bat in hand,
 and slowly took his place; His bloodshot eyes in fury gleamed- his teeth were clinched in hate, He gave his cap a vicious hook and
 pounded on the plate. But fame is heeting as the winds and
 glory fades away; There were no wild and woody cheers
 no glad acclaim this day; They missed and groaned and hooted as
 they clamored, Strike him out!'' But Casey. gave no outward sign that
 he had heard this shout. The pitcher smiled and cut one loose
 across the plate it sped Another hiss-another groan-"Strike
 one!" the umpire said. ZipI Like a. shot the second curve
 broke just below his knee Strike twoi'' the umpire roared
 aloud-but Casey made no plea. No roasting for the umpire now-ais
 was an easy lot:
 But here tne pitcher w11frled again

 mighty Casey hit.
