SHEPARD THINKS
HE CAN PLAY BALL
Thinks Manhunters and Lawyers
Can Defeat a Team of Men
Who Never Played Ball.
Dear Charley WulfT:
You’ll well remember how,
Some six weeks before Septem
ber, a year ago, our forces met,
the leans, the fats, and strove,
j*ou bet, upon the diamond bat
tle field, for victory and fame re
nowned, and incidentally some
moneys found that to the hospi
tal redound. This year the
hospital again is broke—Walt
Mason’s style will surely make
me choke for lack of rhymes to
let you know what I propose,
hereinbelow.
On hospital first aid (intent,
let now: our energies be bent to
organize a game of ball—not
twixt the fats and leans, but^all
the town through you, are chal
lenged now-—an ample field of
choice, I vow—by me, the bar and
courthouse representing, to a
nine innings’ contest unrelent
ing. The Valdez nine and “ex
tras,” though, arc barred from
both, sidbs, lest (he game by
skill be marred. ’ The day is Aug
ust third, the hour is three.
Now' seek you out the (lower of
all the has-beens; we of the jus
tice mill, will grind you out a
grist of runs to still your rooters’
voices and with keen humilia
tion all your aching hearts to
fill. Col. O’Neil will bring his
band, to play soft strains to
cloak your errors, measures gay
and stirring when our side shall
win thol day, apd a committee of
the gracious la-dies will at the
limits of the field waylay all
those who fain would see, and
make them pay.
Now pick your nine and drill
them well, or certainly you will
catch ——, tell me, the challen
gers’ director, that you accept.
Yours, ,
SHEPARD,
Ex-otlicio Tax Collector.
