loudly,
Forbesy burped out beer-made
gas.
Then he crouched with bat al
ready
Came a ball he thought was right,
Took a mighty swing but missed
it,
Scotch and Soda blurred his sight.
Then he called, t1time-out'' and
Towards the dugout : Crucian
cheers,
Said to fellow teammate Finch:
Think | need a couple beers"
WI
Quaffed the beers and squared
his shoulders
Took his place back at the bat
Stepped into the next pitch swing
ing
What a mighty blow was that.
Crucian rooters started cheering
For the ball flew far and wide
Like a plane with jet propulsion
cts a homer" they all cried,
And the ball kept mounting up
ward,
Passed the Pan-Am in its flight,
Heaven-ward like shomesick an
gels,
Until soon was out Of sight.
Meanwhile Keith had started run
ming
Round the bases full steam
ahead.
Passing first he started putting,
Reaching almost dead.
Heading now for third and glory
Cedee waving him on home
For the ball was still a-sailing,
In the stratosphere to roam
Into third Forbes came a-panting,
Breathing hard and running slow,
But it seemed like miles to home
plate
Distance left he had to go.

FoRBEsY AT 4 BAT

Twas the Gentlemen of Williams
Versus the Gentlemen of Jones
And a mighty crowd had filled
the park,
With excitement in their bones.
The Gentlemen of Jones had come
by water and by air;
[Crucian rooters by the hundreds,
Were on hand al. this affair.
Jones had come by helicopter,
Mike had tails on his coat,
Scotch and rum had flowed like
water
Beer enough to float a boat.
Twas a perfect day for baseball;
Not acloud was in the sky,
And the Gentlemen Of Jones;
Had drunk all St. Thomas dry.
And before the fans had settled,
In their seats to watch the game;
Keith had got himself a homer,
Put the Williams Boys to shame.
Guy soon got himself a safe hit,
Rounding second he did reel;
Started then to cross the third
base,
Ran straight into left field.
Lucy saw two balls a-coming,
To the field where he played;
He ran in to catch the low one
Real ball scared right Ger his
head.

For their team was in the lead,
Jones himself had done the pitch

Curves & fast balls without need.
AS the game went in the late in

Scotch and Soda got Jones down;
And his curve ball stopped its
curving,
Fast ball just felled-eR the
ground.
And the Gentlemen Of Williams
Scored so often when was done;
They had caught up with the
Jones boys,
And were leading by one run.

Coming to the final inning.
Trailing by a single run;
Joneses' boys still could win it,
Three outs left it could be done.
Loyola led off with a single,
But was cut down trying to steal;
Then Steele hit an easy flyball,,
Caught out in the centerfield.
Things looked bad for old st.

Oh, in days Of each tomorrow,
When we gather at Jones Bar;
Talk will always be bout Forbesy
How he drove that ball so far.

But today our hearts are heavy,

Fondness for the mystical led him
into the portals of the Cabala.
The whole man became immersed

The convert returned to Phila-

fair disposal of his property for
the benefit of his family and re-
turn to live in Jerusalem. Instead
he found himself in an asylum. A
commission of lunacy had been
filed by his wife and family. Only
one son stood by him. A cause
celebre followed; over 100 wit

psychiatrists, and missionaries
testified. The press over the land
argued his sanity. People stared
at him in the streets. Finally the
