BASE-BALL BALLADS.

When your orbs feel dry and blinky, and the harder that you look,
All the more the figures jumble on the pages of your book?
It's a cinch you've had the feeling; so before you seek the gore
Of some indicator wielder whose decisions blocked a score,
Stop and figure for a second; let the old dope trickle through
That the umpire is entitled to his little off-day too.
