X, One d&y the Teds, in great surprise,
Found Jphnny batting up some "flies.
"Ob, John, dear John!" cry one and all,
"We want-ta learn to play .baseball!"
2., John iell tbem how, and bids them try,
And lines them up to catch, a fly.
He takes the bat with strut and swagger
And hits an elegant "three-bagger."

3. The Teddies rush jn mad pursuit,
And blindly down a drain-hole shoot,
While John, dismayed, sees ball and beaf
All vanish as if made of air.
4 Ugh! Down the drain the. Teddies go
Until they reach the stream below.
Hurrah! A fishing line's in -sight;
The bears decide they all will I'bite."

And calls them "fish" and "fine for lunch."
"A splendid 'catch' you surely made .
I - Too bad that Mike was so afraid."
