When the game started the pitchers
was Fred Toney and Bob Shawkey.
Toney begun his big league career

But playing with iron hitching posts
and pitching world series ball games
Is two different things. When Fred
had been In there a little over two

passed Kelly to get Meusel, but Just
when his strategy might of begin to

hours and twenty minutes Of those
kind Of base ball you naturally feel
weak and imagine my delight when
run into Harry Stevens, the genial

got q pitcure of Babe on the cover
that he could have them arrested for

"out on the Polo Grounds they're
playing,
To see who the champions will be.
The Yankees and Giants are there to
do their best or die,
With McGraw and Miller Huggins
standing by.
Chorus:
20 you Babe Ruth. we're betting on
you. Won't you come through?
Then there is George Kelly. he can
hit, too. made twenty-five.
Art Nehf pitches them Slow.
But we don't care, Bambino,
, So long as you come through"
