124
TO THE DETROIT BASEBALL CLUB.
You've scooped the vealy city crowd
Of glory and of purse—
Why shouldn't Pegasus be proud
To trot you out in a verse?
Chicago hoped to wallop you
By a tremendous score,
But bit off more than it could chew,
As witness: “5 to 4.”
Of glory and of purse—
Why shouldn't Pegasus be proud
To trot you out in a verse?
Chicago hoped to wallop you
By a tremendous score,
But bit off more than it could chew,
As witness: “5 to 4.”
Well done, you 'Ganders! here's a hand
To every one of you;
These record-breakers of the land
Now break themselves in two.
We'll get their pennant—it shall float
Upon our distant shore,
So let each patriotic throat
Hurrah for “5 to 4.”
To every one of you;
These record-breakers of the land
Now break themselves in two.
We'll get their pennant—it shall float
Upon our distant shore,
So let each patriotic throat
Hurrah for “5 to 4.”
