Casey Takes Up Bowling


 that night, The score was bad against them with but two boxes in sight. So when Francis got head-pin split and Curtis did the same
 frame. A few there were got up to go, but given the rest Was a struggling spark of hope that beats in every beings chest. For they thought: If only Casey gets chance to win the fray" We'll they'd put up even money now for Casey was that way. Then Johnson got strike and you should have heard lem fal Francis followed with spare and that wasn't even all, For when they tallied scores pin was heard to drop And there came a cheer-a single spare would cop! Then from the countless thousands there came mighty shout, It rolled up to the rafters and it knocked the windows out. It rattled on the river and it echoed in the dell. For Casey had picked up ball. Opponents muttered "Well!" Ther was ease in Caseys manner as he looked the alley OCT, And confidence was oozing she added up the score. The multitudes were watching as he walked back ohis place And they detected not doubt on Casey's honest face. Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands in dust, Five thousand tongues applauded as he 1x,hS 1oyv St Ten thousand ears were straining - I've got, a spare to make" Five thousand hearts that fluttered with the match at stake. And then the mottled duckpin ball went whstling through the air, For mighty Casey knew his job-he had to get spare. And then five thousand tongues gave vent unto mighty howl But the referee kept pointing and he said just one word-"Foulw It mattered not it was a strike, it must be rolled once more, And Casey's brows were furrowed as he looked upon the score. Some there were who threatened looked on the ref with ire, But Casey was not one of them-hs chin was thrust out higher. And now he takes another ball, this time to do or die, And Caseys jaw is firm, there is fire in Casey's eye. It speeds upon it's way-but who are we to scoff, For Casey, mighty Casey mighty Casey has rolled off Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light, For no more in Mudville will the skies be blue and fair, For mighty Casey has rolled off - how could he get a spare?
