Some kindly battle scars
You almost find yourself tipoeing around like them

Yet comes to take your pitching place,
And tame brave sluggers with such speed and grace,
No pitcher quite SO calm with three base!
Time marches on,
New idols dawn,
Who face Cobb or Sisler at the plate,
Nor make Ruth or Speaker swing too late, 4
Let these old masters tell them how you rate.
Time marches on,

December takes the place of youth May,
Your fireball once scorching on its way,
Has lost its flame yet makes you king today.
This in keeping with many of Georges exquisite
