Casey's Explanation
(Six years ago The Bee published a poem by Harry P.
Van Arnsdale entitled "Casey's Kxplanatlon," which became
one of the series of poems published since Phlnney Thayer's
famous original, "Casey at the Bat," came out In 1888. Re
cently Mr. Van Arnsdale has revised and lengthened his
effusion, making it fit more nearly as a companion piece of
other Casey rhymes).
From Casey's lips I bad the tale before be passed away,
Which tells the story of his fate that song-famed tragic
day,
When from his hero-pedestal, proud Casey, like a clod,
Was lowered with an awful thud a fallen demi-god. "
i
," Twas not for me to beef," he said, "because they
called me out; v
I've never said a word before, 'tis not my way to spout; ,
But here's the truth for once, old pal, and take it straight
from me, , ...
Just tell 'en that Mike Casey fanned because he couldn't
see. , "
t .. .... , ' i
"Now here's Just how it happened, pal. The' first one
that he threw , . . ' ','"
Was half a foot above my head, but then, that left me
two, ' - .
So, 'What's the use to kick?' thought I, 'The next I'll
, . . hit a mile, ' . -
An' feelln' kind o' conifdent, I couldn't help but smile. ...
"The music from the bleacher fans was surely sweet to
hear,
The cry of 'knock the cover off wsb ringln in my ear,.
My eye was good that day, my boy, I'd two-bagged just
before,
So to myself I whispered like, 'Well, Casey, here'a for
"four. : ' : ' -' " ' : -i
"Now, on the dead, the ump was rank, as bad as be could
be;
That; second one was way outside and down below my
knee; .
And when the umpire said, 'Strike two,' I thought It was
a kid;" .,"',' , '
I asked him if he meant it, and he said, 'Sure, Mike, I
did! . : ;;' 'v
"The gang was next. . They gave a cry to kill that robber
then,
' But I Just smiled, because, thinks I, he won't do that
. -' Kln;' ; ' - ,' .
I raised my hand- the yellin. stopped, an' everything
; '" -'was still, -
lAn' when the pitcher starts to wind, thinks I, 'This one
. I kill!' ' V '
. . . - - ,
"'Well,' pal, that guy was surely right, that third one was
; a beaut,
'The 'minute, that I sees it start I says, ''Here's on .the
' ' "snoot;'' ' , ' :. '
Already. I could, hear the yells .go out: o'er hill ind flat,
Already I could hear the cheers for Casey and his bat.
"But my, oh my. there surely was a hoodoo working
.... .there; .;. ...
You may think that I'm stringing you, but this is on the
' square; l
misses that there ball a foot, and on the dead, here's
why, ':'?"''.''-',.
Just as I starts to make the swing a bug flew In my eye.
