F. B. TRACT.
General Agent.
One- of the bright and pleasing feat
ures in connection with the recent
visit of the Anchorage baseball team
to Seward is the fact that the Genesis
and Exodus of the Tracy clan furnish
ed inspiration for the genius “Sandy”
Cotter to unload.
In his “When Tracy Came to Sew- £
ard,” he sets her to the swing of =
“Casey at the Bat,” and is published g
for the first time in The Anchorage y
Daily Times: £
When Tracy came to Seward, he came as heroes come
With sound of blaring trumpets, and thunder of the drum.
When Tracy came to Seward, full blatant was his talk
There was pride in Tracy’s manner, and a strut in Tracy’s walk.
When Tracy came to Seward, with a hand picked Outside Team
j There was joy in Tracv’s manner and in Tracy’s eve a gleam.
■When Tracy came to Seward, there was silver in his poke
When Tracy came to Seward, the world was one great joke.
When Tracy came to Seward, he was loaded down with “dope.”
I When Tracy came to Seward, he was buoyed un with hope.
When Tracy came to Seward he had mastered all his plan
He had the “dope” on Seward, he knew them every man.
There was ease in Tracy’s manner and a smile on Tracy’s fare
As he tooled the crowd around the Camp to each remembered place.
And Tracy watched his ball team, as an old hen does her chicks
There was wisdom in his manner, when he told them not to “mix.”
Authority in every move, he herded them to bed
And every move was in accord, to things that i racy said.
He led them to the Beanery, and gave the order too
No matter if they wanted hash, or craved an fr ;h stew.
He had their line-up all laid out, he had the battery too
He told them how to play the game, told each one what to do.
He coached and scored and rooted, and followed every play
And raised Hell with the players, when things didn’t break his way.
1 When Tracy w'ent from Seward, he went as Arabs went
With furling of the banner and folding of the tent
When Tracy went from Seward, you could scarce'y hear him peep
I For he slipped away from Seward, when the whole town was asleep.
For Tracv had some hard luck with his hand-picked Outside Team
For the Boys from Seward rallied, and they shattered Tracy’s dream
His poke was short of silver and his spirit shy on hope
And when Tracy left for Anchorage, his walk became a mope.
His “dope” was wrong on Seward, it was wrong on his own team
And Tracv found that ball players are not always what they seem
And though he watched them carefully, like a lookout day and night
| They almost drove him crazy, and now Tracy’s hair is white.
The baseball team from Anchorage, was too slow on the move
And the pitchers from the U. S. Camp, had nothing but the “groove.”
The boys from Seward hit the pill, till all the bleachers laughed
I And to field the drives the locals made, poor Tracy got a raft.
I When Tracv left for Anchorage, he was glad he was alive
His heart almost quit beating, at Taylor’s home run drive
i And though he yelled his head off, he couldn’t beat the score
And when Tracy left for Anchorage, he murmured “NEVER MORE!
I So tell the boys in Anchorage, tell Larry and Campbell too
That the baseball team in Seward, is too fast a team for you.
Break the news to Charley Herron, tell him and all his crew
| That we’ll keep the Cup and Smelter, and we’ll keep your silver too.
I So good bye Freddy Tracy, and good bye to your team
Your vision of a championship’s another shatteied dream.
We hope you’ve had a pleasant trip, we hope you liked our show
We’re mighty glad we trimmed you—But we hate to see you go.
Kve’d like to play again with vou, we like the way you play
And we’ll come‘and have a romp with you, if you will name the day
1 But when we play you next time, and we hope to play again
You’d better write to Dugdale, and get some better men.
