The Ball Game.
the
It was on a hot Sunday in
month of May,
When the Big Foot boys went
to Miguel to play
VV ith Pleasanton team so strong
and tine,
And three of the “Eagles” in
. r their nine.
;ti-
When we got there it was whis-
ures pered about,
I hat the Pleasanton team would
f.,| j soon put Big Foot out.
For pitchers, they had many who
had plenty of grit,
And they fairly believed Big
Foot would not get a hit.
But Big Foot boys were merry
and were feeling tine,
And went to the bat, when the
umpire called “time!”
i'iie first inning proved fatal,
having three ducks,
But they were not discouraged
for they played with pluck.
It was Pleasanton’s time now to
take their inning,
And it looked like Big Foot was
in for a skinning,
Fort he way they played, you
could easily see
Something had to be doing, for
runs they got three.
The next inning for Big Foot was
no better than the first,
And the Pleasanton boys were
ready to laugh and burst,
i But the captain told the boys not
Gf | to lose heart,
For them to watch the game
{t and each do his part.
This stimulated his team and into
the Field they went,
The Pleasanton boys to the bat
>n j were sent;
Trying hard to hit the ball and
make a score,
They soon found out they could
make no more.

Mr. Mrs. J. P. Muckleroy will

Ches Henson, C. Tilley, J. Roache
Muhleman and Winters,
Just knocked the ball into splint-
ers,
And Pleasanton soon saw oar
boys were alive.
At the close of this inning they
had bagged five.
The Pleasanton boys thought that
was just luck,
Not knowing our boys had
plenty of pluck,
But they were mistaken, our boys
were in trim, •
And determined to show them
the game they would win.
It mattered not how hard Pleas-
anton would play,
Our boys would just knock the
ball away;
For the sixth inning was certain-
ly the greatest fun,
To see them steal the bases and
homeward run.
This settled the game, Big Foot
was in clover,
For everybody knew the game
was over;
No matter if they knocked the
ball to Heaven,
They.could not overcome that
big seven.
The scorer knew, if he knew any-
thing at all.
Big Foot boys always could
play ball-
Never for one moment did he
think they’d go down,
For they came from old Big
Foot town.
The only thing that made the
scorer sore,
That the captain forgot to
cigar Tom Moore,
So he had to sit in the broiling
sun,
To see that the game was well
done.
Now must close this for think it
is all;
And we are ready at any time
to play Pearsall.
So don’t be afraid boys, but come
along,
And we think we can make you
sing another song.
