Challenge Accepted.
Dear Judge! and Shepherd of
the scheme,
From lawyers hum and hireling's
glum,
To organize a baseball Irani:
Accepted is the challenge
made. You’re on, poll bet, be
yond the grade we’ll meet you
ginks in garb arrayed for base
ball, though you should have
staid at home a working at your
trade. No batch of lawyers yet
untried with marshals standing
at their side ever bolster up their
pride with honors won with the
“horsehide.” At home or oilice
with your books, and sometimes
when you’re with your crooks,
to you presumably it looks as if
you really have the hooks to wipe
the earth. Not so—Gaznnks.
,Tis well the proceeds shall be
spent for the hospitals, for you
’ll be rent in pieces many, and
a tent just like the kind the Red
Cross sent In Cuba for the bet
terment of those who fell lo
save their land you better try lo
have <>n band. - No use for you
lo gel a HAND: but it' some
Hand-ages you find bring them
along—they are the kind of in
struments with which In wind I In*
corpses }ynu will 'leave behind
of those to play whom you have
signed. They ought to he in
jail eon lined I'm1 other reasons—
never iuim^. You camml see,
therefor, you’re blind. Come on,
no need fm* us hi drill. \<>ur
Tax Cnllecl.or, leL him fill (lie
pitcher's box. A pickle Dill we II
hand In him. We'll hat (he pill.
Like Jack and Jill his pride we’ll
spill. And if lie balks or lurns
his lues, duwn where the river
Sharim Hows, well plant him
deep in sweet repose, a baseball
“has-been” full of woes. No use
for us to say bring cash. Your
bets are ours. Your purse is
trash. The very blulf il makes
me laugh. Here goes, I'll write
your epitaph:
“They fall lo rise im more;
They tackled a job Inn large;
The Styx was full of ice
So Charon borrowed a barge.”
With your challenge you
would dupe us. I, accept. Sir,
CHARLEY LUPUS.
Say, Shep, if you think you are
the only one Dial can sling that
Wall Mason si nil' you have an
other guess.
