SHERWOOD MCGEE, by                    
First Line: Dusk was approaching, when the lengthy game
Last Line: Such matchless doings by one s. Magee!
Subject(s): Athletes; Baseball; Sports


DUSK was approaching, when the lengthy game,
Tiresome and quiet, blazed in sudden flame.
A pitch, right over—then a thudding whack,
Sherwood Magee is rooted on first sack!
Not rooted, either—with a mighty leap
He gathered second—caught them all asleep!
Then all men marveled, as this ancient bird
Scooting and sliding, bounded into third!
Out went a fly—the fielder grabbed and threw—
But Sherwood beat it by a foot or two!
What living mortal ever thought to see
Such matchless doings by one S. Magee!
