LAUNCHED POEM

The poem attracted considerable
attention in May 1888, De Wolf
Hopper, star of the musical comedy
Prince Methusalem" at Wallack's s
theater in New York. launched it
upon the path to Immortality. On
a special baseball night at WAL
lacks, young Hopper read it dur
ing the second act of "MethuSa-
lem" His recitation was given a
laundering ovation After that,
Hopper recited Casey" hundreds
of times. The comedian often said
that the poem always received more
applause than any of his other Of
ferings. Other professional and
amateur entertainers also recited
1t throughout the land
Meanwhile. Casey, the somewhat
flabbergasted hero of the poem.
found himself lifted a baseball i'm
mortality on a strike-out, probably
the only man in the games history
to make such a flight. He became
target for much good-natured
bantering among his pals before
the close of his playing career,

that color and situations in the

to do with the popularity of the

The poem about Mighty Casey
was written in jest in 1888 by Ern-
est L. Thayer Thayer apparently
knew little about Casey when he
penned his piece, for Casey, a
southpaW pitcher, never had been

he was about as impotent in WELD

Whether Thayer actually saw this
memorable game in August, 1887

not know. Anyway, Thayer was

zURITA DECISIONS
FOE With EASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-UP)
-Juan Zurita of Mexico City took
an easy decision over Vern Bybee
Of the US. Coast Guard. in the
l0-round main event at Civic au-
ditOrium last night.
zurita weighed 1876, Bybee, 134.
Bybee, a 10-to-8 favorite, suf-
fered a cut over his right eye in
the second round and at no time
showed the aggressiveness which
earned him an upset decision over
Chalky Wright several months ago.
The house crossed $1,000.
Referee Johnny Lotsey gave Zu-
rita every round except the second.
fifth and tenth.
Zurita baffled his opponent
throughout the fight by switching
his stance from right-handed TO

Commissioner KeneSaw NJ. Lam
dis will preside at the one-sideG
bout which will find Frick and the
remaining team mogulS determined
10 settle the financial future of the
haplSs Phils. A group of magnates
is believed trying TO wrest control
of the club. now in dire financial
straits. from Nugent and put il
under direct authority OF the league
Nugent. head of the current Phil
adelphia operators, is eXpctd TO
provide some fireworks. He is bat
ding tooth and nail TO retain direc-
torShip and has stated that he will
take the matter TO court, if neces-
sary. before he relinquisheS control
of his club.
Perennial doormats of the Ma
tional league, the PhilS are in debt
up to their neckS. Unless some sort
OF financial assistance is obtained
by Nugent from outside sources,
Bill Terry-former first baseman
and executive of the New York
Giants-may be put in charge.
Terry has shown interest in the
club and might take control with
the help of friendly monetary inter-
eSts with the prospect of eventual
ownership.
Denials. rumors and assorted as
sertions have clouded the entire
situation but now it shapes up like
this:
l.-Frick has been leading the
fight to gain control of the PhilS
by the league and has attempted to
obtain a quorum of opinion for a
vote on circuit control.
2.-The club is flooded with debts
both to the league and repeatedly
several commercial sources includ-
ing the rental department of Shibe
Park.
3.-The league has laid down a
mandate for Nugent to furnish the
cash or else. To all appearances,
he has raised a third of the neces-
Sary total. collecting about $4,000
in the deal which sent Rube Melton
to Brooklyn and about $4,000 in
the swap which put Nick Etten
with the New York Yankees.
Nugent may scare up a backer
or raise more cash by selling addi-
tional players. 1t seems illogical
however to market such Saleable
players as Danny LitWhiler or Dan
ny Murtaugh since it would make
the Phils even less of a boX-office
draw In addition to the departure
Of Etten and Melton, Pitcher Tom
my Hughes, most effective mounds
man on the club and excellent
turnstile attraction, has gone into
the army.
Nugent has not yet stated whether
ne will attend the meeting but even
II he does not, the league men feel
that the time is ripe for a definite
move towards rewriting the annual
one-act Philadelphia tragedy.

SPORTS PARADE
Mighty Casey's Out.

which included mound work with
Wilmington, indianapolis, Detroit.
Philadelphia and, finally, Albany,
NY.
Casey often wondered why Thay-
er had made him the hero OF the
famous "MUdville" game in Phil
adelphia. His only possible eX-
planation was that he had broken
up a game the week before in BoS-
ton with a home run, one of the
few of his career, and the Philadel-
phia fans were looking for re-
peat against the Giants.
KEEFE PITCHING
Tim Keefe of the Giants was
pitching against Casey in the old
Philadelphia ball park. 1t was the
last of the ninth, New York was
leading. 4-3; two men were out;
runners were on second and third
it was Caseys turn at bat. The
fans were yelling for Il homer as
Pitcher Keefe wound up and threw.
Close by the sturdy batsman the
ball unheeded sped.
lndt am my StSic, Sdiu taSeS'
"'Strike One,' the umpire said"
Casey always admitted that the
umpire was correct in calling that
first pitch and the second one
strikes He had misjudged them,
thinking them balls. The poem says
the fans did not agree with the
umpire. They yelled fraud
But a scOrnfui look from Casey
and the audience was awed."
This line in the poem always
made Casey laugh heartily. He in
sisted that the audience wasn't
aWed, but that he was scared to
death. The poem then explains
that Casey's face grew stern and
cold. The sneer was gone from his
lips, but his teeth were clenched in
hate He pounded the plate with
his bat

performance in push-up tests COM
pleted Monday afternoon.
Richard Crum. who had made 80
puSh-upS when the first tests were
given more than a month ago
made 104 Monday.
Coach Louis Birnbaum attributed
the boys improvement to the physi-
cal development he has attained
through the new program instituted
at the school.
Birnbaum said that all boys who
took the test q second time had
shown definite improvement al
though they had received no Speci-
tic instruction or practice in the
particular phase of the program.
1t was due to the all-around de-
velopment made possible by the
Commando style exercises that
the boys showed up SO we'll, Birn-
baum said.
The Commando program con-
sists of exercises which include
those afforded by the obstacle
course. The obstacle course is a
series of hazards requiring dexter
ity, skill and muscular coordination
for successful crossing.

been held by Jack Strobel. who had
done 70. Strobel had not been test
