ANNIVERSARY OF “CASEY” CLAS- SIC POEM OF BASEBALL. If all the verse inspired by baseball in the last half century was made into a “string,” it would stretch from Kal- omazoo, Mich., to Bangkok, in Siam. And, doubtless, then some. At the top of this string, holding precedence as the supreme classic of baseball litera- ture, is “Casey at the Bat.” Ever since De Wolf Hoppeér popularized that fa- moug poem of the diamend a story of controversy has raged over the ques- tlon of its authorship. Multitudinous are the claims that have been made as to, prierity in penning those immortal lines, but majority opinion, which is supported by evidence, gives the credit to Ernest L. Thayer. So far as known, “Casey” was first published 4n the San Francisco EX- aminer twenty-seven years ago to- day, June 3, 1888, and, unless further evidence is forthcoming, this is Casey’s birthday. The verses were signed “E. L. T.” and this may be accepted as all but conclusive of Thayer’'s authorship. Thayer lived in Worcester, Mass., and was a graduate of Harvard. It is said that the “Mudville” of the poem was a part of Tannerville, near Cam- bridge, where there was a ball field which was prone to become very mud- dy on the slightest provocation. Thay er wds a classmate of Willlam Ran- dolph. Hearst at Harvard, and’ tae two were firm friends. When Mr. Thayer wrote ‘“Casey” it was natural that he should send it to Mr, Hearst's paper. Thayer was at one time enft ployed on the staff of the Examiner, but later returned to Worcester and embarked in a manufacturing bus- iness. “Casey” has been credited to many other authors, however, including George Whitefield D'V Joseph Quinlin Murphy and Will Valéntine. D'Vys, a Cambridge, Mass., man, as- serted that he wrote the last vérses of “Casey” in 1887, but that the man- uscript was lost in a Boston newspa- per office. Will Valentine, who was a member of the New York World staff died in 1897. He was formerly em- ployed on the Kansas City Star and the Sioux City Tribune, and is said to have written ‘Casey” while in the Towa city. The original. publication of “Casey” in the San Franeisco paper néw seems conclusive, however, and Ernest L. Thayer seéms as certainly its auther. The poem was reprinted in papers all over America, and it was further pop- ularized by the famous comedian, De Wolf Hopper. It was first recited by, Mr. Hoppér at a performonce of “Cas- tles in the Air,” and made such a hit thot thé comedian mcluded it in his repertoire. “Casey at the B&!." will doubtless continue to be the great epic of the diamond pastime as long as baseball is played. It has survived for twenty- séven years with no diminution in its popularity. Parodies without number help to keep the interest in ““Casey” allve, The poetic story of how “mighy Casey struck out” contains humer, pathos and tragedy. Reading ‘i, ‘one can almost imagine himself seated on ‘‘the benches, black ith people,” and joining in the ‘muffled roar” which went up when the um- pire called a strike on Casey. And when a second strike has beéén called by the robber, and ‘“the sneer is gone from Casey's lips, his teeth are elenched in hate” we wait with breath- less eagernéss the crack of bat on ball. Alas, it never comes! And— Oh! somewhere in this favored land thé sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere and somewhere hears are light, And gomewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout; But there’ is no joy in Mudville— mighty Casey has struck out. WOLGAST FINALLY WEAKENS., Cross Excels Him in Eighth and Ninth Rounds. to Get Margin. New York, June 3.—For seven rounds Leach Cross and Ad Wolgast put up a fierce and close battle at| honors. the St. Nieholas Rink last night. Then the skill and persistency of New York’s ghetto fighter overcame aggressiveness of the former cham- pion and Cross took a decided lead in the eighth and ninth rounds. In the final session Wolgast made a bet- ter showing, but by that time Cross not only had the fight tucked away but maintained his advantage to the end. The biggest advantage saindy by Walgast was in the sixth round, when he caught Cross with a left hook and sent the Hast Sider down for a count. Wary work on the part of Cross held his rushing oppanent at bay af! recovered from the telling cliffy and 4t the énd of the séssion the dentist was holding his man, though losing the honors of the réeund, In long range fighting Cross had all the beter of /the encounter.
