It gives much food for comment,
because the Yankees have been put

reason to believe that old Father
Time had camped now and then

Yanks have come suddenly to life

Their tendency this year has been
to play spotty base ball instead OF
base ball that was downright bad

We didn't take the lickings lying down,
