THE MAN WHO PLAYED WITH ANSON.
In reaching for that outshoot he had wrenched the spinal beam
Of the man who played with Anson on the old Chicago team.

That night we wired to Anson to discover if he knew
A man by name of Casey, as we felt we ought to do;
And when the answer came next day it stirred up quite a fuss:
"Yes, I remembered Casey well—he carried bats for us."

We hunted for him quite a spell, but he had gone away,
Else the daisies would be bloomin' over his remains to-day.
But if you land in Mudville on the lookout for some fun,
Don't ever mention Casey's name unless you wear a gun.
