But one day his leader told him
He would have to toss a game:
And. though all the rooters cheered
him.
Each one Thought II was a shame:
For against this war-scarred twirler.
Was arrayed the leagues best bet
Every man a heavy sticker.
Each a tried and seasoned vet
But the HEAVIER never faltered
Merely slipped 'enl cross the plate
With speed which dazefi those

Come Back, Why ccrtainIy.

They all said that he was slipping.
That his big-league days were 0 er,
That his arm had lost its cunning
He was muscle hound and sore.
In his time he'd been marvel,
Siuggers he had put to shame;
And the records OF his prowess
Long since graced the Hall 81 Fame~
Fans bemoaned the great stars
passing
Shook their heads and shed a tear.
Feeling that his time for moving
TO the tall grass was quite near.
Still. whene- er they CHANGED to meet
him,
They would tell him he looked TT:
No he'd answer. Il am feeble.
