See the land, her Easter keeping,
Rises as her Maker rose;
Seeds so long in darkness sleeping,
Burst at last from winter SHOWS.
Earth with heaven above rejoices;
Fields and garlands hail the spring;
Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices
While the wild birds build and sing.

 Bill Carrigan sent Morris into 41 ball games last year. Fred Mar berry. Washington relief ace, was the only pitcher in this circuit to appear in more games. Marberry worked in 4S contests. Big Ed. who is 6 feet inches tall, finished the season with an earned run average of .352.
