THE OUTFIELDER'S LAMENT.
NYO ball to chase to the left-field fence.
~ No crowd to cheer at circus catch,
Only the guy who collects the rents,
And the butcher bill and bills to match!
Winter is fine for the cemans crop
And swell for the seller of overcoats,
But when things freeze in the North Pole breeze
Guys like me Is the goats! , .-..
No ball to shack when Larry Jack
Has cuffed one hard on the little old seaml
My thoughts all go when it's ten below
To the baseball park and our last years team.
The rich 60 to their Palm Beach show
And drift down South in boats,
But loaf on the farm and nurse my arm.
Guys like me is the goats
! wish that was lawyer guy,
Or a doctor writing prescriptions now,
Or q movie star in high priced car.
Or farmer milking Jersey COW,
Or shovelng Harp, a gospel sharp
Or banker surrounded by treasury notes.
When winter comes they don't feel like buns
Guys like me is the goats!

The committee is prepared to

the penalties severe. That's the
committees attitude. The plan IL
for q bang-up championship affair.

Some of the more prominent clubs

than ever before.
