POEMS ENTERED IN CONTEST
(Wakelon’s young 1 poets seem
especially fond of dogs, as is at
tested by the entries below and
others already published).
MY PAL
I have a little dog at home,
And tho he’s very small,
He follows me for miles and miles
And doesn’t mind at all.
We roam the woods for hours,
He's playful as can be.
Through sunshine and through
showers,
He’s always there with me.
Sometimes we run, sometimes we
walk
And he wags his tail with joy.
But I just bet if he could talk
He’d wish he were a boy.
And there’s no other dog you see,
Who has a heart like his.
And tho he’s ugly as can be
I’m glad he’s like he is.
—CLAUDIUS WATSON.
THE FATE OF A DOG
We have a young puppy named
Lad,
And the fate of this dog, oh so sad.
It happened on a day
Os which we were very gay,
But the ending was so very, very
sad.
By a car he was run over,
And he died upon the clover;
And when we had heard that
he had died,
We sat down and cried and
cried;
For we would never see our puppy
any more.
We dug a little hole,
And laid him down to mold;
And as it was growing very
late,
We left him to his fate;
And we never saw our puppy any
more.
—DONALD PIPPIN.

(Dedicated to Friday’s Players)
WHEN FATHER PLAYED
BASEBALL
By EDGAR GUEST
The smell of arnica is strong
And mother’s time is spent
In rubbing father's arms and back
With burning liniment.
The house is like a druggist’s shop.
Strong odors fill the hall—
And day and night we hear him
groan,
Since father played baseball.
He’s forty past, but he declared
That he was young as ever
And in his youth, he said he was
A baseball player clever.
So when the business men ar
ranged
A game they came to call
On dad and asked him if he
thought
That he could play baseball.
“I haven’t played in fifteen years,”
Said father, “but I know
That I can stop the grounders hot
And I can make the throw.
I used to play a corking game
The curves, I know them all,
And you can count on me, you bet,
To join your game of ball.”
On Friday the game was played
And all of us were there.
Dad borrowed an old uniform
That Casey used to wear.
He paid three dollars for a glove,
Wore spikes to save a fall;
He had the make-up on all right
When father played baseball.
At second base they stationed him.
A liner came his way.
Dad tried to stop it with his knee
And missed a double play.
He threw into the bleachers twice.
He let a pop fly fall.
Oh, we were all ashamed of him
When father played baseball.
He tried to run, but tripped and
fell;
He tried to take a throw.
It put three fingers out of joint
And father let it go.
He stopped a grounder with his
face,
Was spiked, nor was that all;
It looked to us like suicide
When father played baseball.
At last he limped away, and now
He suffers in disgrace.
His arms are bathed in liniment,
Court plaster hides his face;
He says his back is breaking, and
His legs won’t move at all.
It made a wreck of father when
He tried to play baseball.
The smell of arnica abounds,
He hobbles with a cane.
A row of blisters mar his hands.
He is in constant pain.
But lame and weak as father is
He swears he’ll lick us all
If we dare even speak about
The day he played baseball.
