| QUOTATION: | “Strike one” the Umpire said. From the bleachers black with people there rose a sullen roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore, “Kill him! Kill the Umpire!” shouted some one from the stand— And it ’s likely they ’d have done it had not Casey raised his hand. |
