The following arrived in the belated
mail and is published just as it was written:
Our Base Ball Team of '07.
Wauseka he's our catcher who never fail
to cut the runner out at second base, "Emil
always wear a smile that won't come off."
Schrimpsher plays short stop, nothing
can't pass "Jimmie."
Newashe is our first sacker a thrown ball
can't get through "Willie."
Garlow does the pitching and fans them
out in style with every ball he pitches, al-
ways see a happy smile on "Seybold."
Hendricks always covers second bag and
does it neat. While his team mates yelling
nice one "Fritz."
And you know that Youngdeer who look
after the middle garden. Know as "Der-
foot" never misses any kind fly ball.
Eagleman who at left field always tried to
be fancy like Harrisburg's style.
And meself out in right field Gobble
everything that looks good to me.
Our new Captain Balenti hold down the
third bag always plays hard and looks for
more while the rooters yell for "Mike."
