Can you start a fire with a base
ball match,
Or mend your glove with a cab
bage patch?
Do they call it a strike if you bat
your eye,
Or give you a base if you “swat a
fly"?
Is a tennis racket just the noise
and chatter?
If you broke the home-plate could
you use a platter?
Is the pitcher made from silver or
glass ?
Are the golf links iron or gold or
brass ? '
Is a “caddie” used for storing
tea?
Is a locker simply a great big
key?
Is a foul a chicken or is it a
bird?
Do they arrest a player for steal
ing third ?
