HI'BBERT DELIGHT
The solft=ball ganias each week
Have been very pleasant hours,
For each ,and every one of us
To greet nthose friend's --di ours.
Last week's game had its clinlax-
IFior wtlien the game tyaM ,o'er.
'Louis, he stepped on the starter
[And o'hl how Itis- car did roar.
ct 'first it started' sizzl,ng.
And then same 'bite smoke,
Wing turne 1 pate in the face,
icor he •t'hont,ht it was no poke.
The noise was just like thunder,
The smoke was just like dust.
Louis 'burned his eyes to heaven
'.Andto the Lord prayed thus.
0, save us all:
So loud he .cried.
Conte hurry, take us from this .car
Par if we Ca100ot soon escape
We shall he blown afar.
'T -lis prayer was quickly ,aniswered,
The doors blew open wide.
Yon should have seep them scramble
out,
In order to save their hide.
The driver staggered round the car,
And filen he lifted the hood.
The mechanic Rook a thorough look,
And said all things are good.
\t first Louis w•as so angry,
Rut' then he forced a smile.
Because' he was so happy,
For it was good foranothermile.
Then he quickly pulled away,
Leaving the crowd in Igllee
For he said 1 guess they are too sharp
For a codrdy lad like me:
