Play Ball This World's a diamond, with thai I bases laid, I And on it life's great gam of baft is played. i hc leauiB arc xiuuittu oeiuga vs. Fate, Aud Time's the umpire watching by the plate. We're at bat. Our purpose o'er and o er. . , To weild ambitions club, and try to score. To solve the curve the pitcher throws : And lam the sphere where not a fielder goes, Some of us seem to bat with skill immense. ; Knocking long homers o'er the deep field fence. Others bunt infield hits, but wildly., i race, And beat the ball down to the pri mal base. Still others though they strive their best, no doubt, Fan wildly at the air, and then strike out; Then seek the bench, downcast, with visage drawn, I Crestfalen, shamefaced, blue, ambi l tion gone. Or rage the umpire,, growling like a I bear, ' "You robber,- that decision wasn't fair!" That's not the game, be not a grouch. or quitter! What though your not a straight 300 hitter, You've got another chance. Stand to the plate, Wait for a good one. Let the others rip. And when It comes now lam it hard t, and zip! - It's got to go, and so have you, old man, 1 Hike for the base. Keep going yea you can! Steal second! Good! Now, easy not . to gay! There! Get a lead! A hit; Now you'r away. Keep on! Don't Stop! Don't lose the dandy stride! You've got to beat the throw, In I slide, now, slide! Hurrah! You did it! Score?. Of .course you did! See there's the tally marked up on the board! And now you'll win the game, no doubt at all! ' You ust can't lose, old man, it you'll Play Ball! - Paul West in First State AdVisor. oo Now turn to tne Classified Ada
