In the first inning. after the first

the ball game, scoring three runs, only
one of which was necessary to win the

THE GIRL OF THE A NJ

THE GIRL OF THE GAME.
She likes "a fast one round the waist,
To fit her slender curving;
And single suits her sauCy taste
For those with hearts aswervmg.
She'll take a high one on the fly,
But duck the guy that's fatter,
For this girl has a keener eye
Than Cobb, the Tiger batter,
The "hit-and run" will never do
If she begins the tossing,
For she prefers a stand for you
Submissive to her bossing.
She'll never look for you to fight,
But hustle, calm and steady,
Prepared to show an appetite
Whenever dinners ready.
And boy, when you attempt the squeeze
Prepare for blocking clever
For she will neither taunt nor tease.
oh. never, never, never!
And when you near the marriage base
DeHst from further guessing
Just gamble in the heated race
She'll beat you in the 'ye@ing."

along to Toledo, where he hit 1876. From Toledo he came TO Memphis
