Herbert Armstrong and the base ball
team upon the splendid record which
they had made during the season,
in the race for the championship OF
the League but establishing splen-

manship and being recognized IN
every place visited as being compos-
ed of splendid young men. During
the evening it was brought out that
Cambridge had more home players
than any other team in the League,
having had four or five during the
season that it had had the cham
pion home-run maker, the champion
base stealer and had won more con-
secutive games than any other team
in the League.
Besides Governor Harrington
short addresses were made by Messrs
P. Watson Webb, DR.. E. E. Wolff,
Hon. Frank Robbins, William T. Slb-
bett, president of the Cambridge
Athletic Association and Manager
Armstrong. A feature of the even
ing's pleasure was the reading OF
the following rhymes in which We're
featured the members of the team
and as the name of each was called
he was given a little token to remind
him of the good will of the people
OF Cambridge:
with Apologies To Mother Goose,
John, John, from Washington.
Stole a base and away he run.
The ball was quick, but Johnny's slick
And sliding is his cutest trick.
Augie Schroll is & merry old soul,
And merry old soul is he.
Then tell me, l pray,
Why he shouldn't be gay,
When he strikes 'em out, one two three
Mistress Mary. quite, contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Why not at all, an old base ball
Has spoiled it long age.
Jake" Flowers, on the Cambridge
team,
Hits like Babe Ruth they say.
[ live in East New Market,
And one lands here every day
Little Miss Muffet.
Sits on quffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Her heart it is sore,
The ball season is DER.
And Shertzer is going away.
Hey diddle, diddle, -
The cat played the fiddle.
Herb hits one over the moon,
\ peach of a clout
With nobody out!
But some fellow grabbed it too soon
Humpty Dumpty stood on the mound,
Humpty Dumphy, swinging around,
All the kings help. and all the king S
Couldn't hit Humpty's fast curved one
again.
lHeIe Is d HldH OIi Jul lCohA
And he is wondrous wiset
When Robbie steps up TO the plate
He uses both his eyes,
And if he sees the bags are filled
With all his might and main,
He knocks one over right field fence
And brings them home again.
4 dillar, a dollar,
A ten o'clock scholar,
Why come to the game so soon?
l want to be sure to see Hinkle play,
So now [ go at noon.
Poor blind Jump! Poor blind Jump!
See how he runs: see how he runs,
Old Tony never. lets them steal,
He pegs 'em straight. and don't they
SQueal
Sometimes we get a crooked deal.
Poor blind Jump.
Dickory, dickory dare.
A balls hit mile in the air.
Hank of renown,
Soon brings it down,
Dickory, dickory dare.
Where are you going my pretty
maid?"

Wee Willie Adams, runs thru the town
When he has the pay checks
| They chase him all around.
Bill is always huStling.
Doesn't get a knock,
Are the fellows IN their beds
It's now ten o'clock.
Sing a song of SIX pence
| Pocket full of rye,
| Bobbe in the out1eld,
Never drops a fly.
When the game Is over.
| The fans begin to sing.
| Don't you think our Cambridge team
Should play before the king
| There seemed to be unanimltJ
of feeling that Manager Armstrong
and the present team should be, al
| far as possible, singed up for the
next season, suggestion along thl'
line receiving great applause. Man
| ager Armstrong thanked the people
of the City for the splendid treat
ment accorded the members of the
! team and stated that he believed al
of the men had rather play in Cam
bridge than anywhere else in thu
League.
Those in charge of the banque
desire to thank all of those wht
