so when cooney died at flrst and burrows did tbo same sickly silence jell upon the patrons of the same but plynn let drive alnglc to the won derment of all and blake the much despised tore the cover on the ball and when the dust had lifted and they saw what had occurred there was jimmy safe on second and plynn ahugglng third there was eaae in casey manner as ho stepped into his place there was pride in oaseya bearing and smile on caseys nice and when responding to the enters he lightly doffed his hat no stranger in the crowd could doubt twas casey at the bat and now the leather covered sphere came hurtling through the air and casey stood watching it in haugh ty grandeur there close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped that aint xny style said casey strike one tin umpire said with smile of christian charity great casey visage shone he stilled the rising tumult he bade the game go on be signalled to the pitcher and once more the spheroid flew but casey still ignored it and the um pire said strike two the sneer is gone ram caseys lips his teeth are clenched in hate he pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate and now the pitcher holds the ball and now he lets it go and now the air is shattered by the foroo of caurys blow oh somewhere in this favored land the sun la shining bright tho band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts ore light and rtimf mm jrj
