Ball TeamI Let's Go!
(To Tune of Margie)

Come on you Ball Team,
We're always counting on you,
Ball Team, we know you arestrue blue;
| o bring us back the bacon ask we.
We have hooked our diamond rings
and other things
To back you,
You've been our inspiration,
Be our only joy,
After all is said and done.
There Is really only one,
It's all for Kiwanis-Let's go.
I tell you Al them fellers made so
much noise you couldn't hear the UNI
pire make rotten decisions.
The Rotes had a bunch of feilers.
same as the other fellers, when one
Teller in uniform was waving his arms
like he wuz in torouble or something
eruther and all his bunch was hol-
lerin' at him or maybe they wuz try
in to sing. Anyways it sounded like
this:
Song to Tune of "Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight.
Run like hell,
And always hit the ball,
Throw them out
We're with you one and all,
And when they face our pitcher,
They'll make no runs a-tall,
There'n be a hot time
In the old town tonight
God bless you.
There wuz sum good playin' for the
first two innings on both sides ex-
cept that this Teller Carter of the
OaIlnd
Tubby Wells couldn't run fast emf
to get around the bags and he handed
him bum balls and let him take his
time getting down to where a name
sake of his'n was on list base. This
Teller Tubby hypnotized the ball or
sumthin' eau he went clean round
to third anS/ then when a Teller they
called "Re.ny" thot he had the ball
hit to him, but didn't. he came over
the top with the first run of the game
Sal AL, you shud have saw the
stunt the Rotes pulled in the 3rd
spasm. There was purity near all the
Kiwanis ball team on the bases, and
one of them got tired of waiting to
get hom, and the Rotary fellers tried
to stop him, and then threw the ball
at everybody except Charlie Turner,
the mascot of the team and when the
Teller was almost home, that crack
catcher OF the Rotes. that Teller called
Lurton, got the ball somehow and
tried to touch HON, but the ball was
on the grass and all the fellers tried
to get their arms and legs twisted to-
gether, and Jimmy" Johnston thot
he was playin' football and made a
leg tackle off Lurton, and cause he
did the umpire in the straw hat said
he wuz out, so all the work that they
did, all of them, didn't count for nuth-
ing.
It's q fact, Al, confidentially, thot
the Rotes were goin' to win and bet
three bottles of red pop they would,
but this Teller Seaburg had sort
of inside -odt- up drop-curve that them
Rotes couldn't do nuthin' with.
Them Kiwanis fellers went crazy
with the heat in the fourth and fifth
innin's and they got six fellers home
before the other fellers knew they
were in the game. They just treated
that Teller Carter scandalous, but leave
it to me AL no pitcher can help that
when the other fellers get their bats
in the way Of the ball.
There wuz a Teller they called
Johnny" Jones who played out in the
sand lot in left field and he almost
climbed over the fence for a ball that
tall Teller by the name of Langford
hit. Everybody cheered.
The only diffunce, Al, between the
Rotes and the Kiwanis teams up to
the sixth paroxysm is that the Rotes
hit the ball where the other fellers
wuz and the Kiwanians hit them
where they wuzn't. That's the rea-
zun the Kiwanis had seven markers
and the Rotes non. You no, AL, they
have the lucky sixth inning down here
In Pensacola Jest the same as the
Giants and McGraw has and the Rotes
said "this is our lucky inning" And
then all OF them soused the ball TO
every part OF the field except the
grand stand. These four fellers what
hit the ball so hard wuz Mccormack,
Willis. Lurton and Wells, and they
had the Kiwanis bunch running their
legs off, including the Teller named
