PLAY THE GAME
When the umpire calls you out,
It's no use to stamp and shout,
Wildly kicking dust about--

Keep your temper at the plate,
Grit your teeth and calmly wait,
For the next one may be straight
Play the game!
When you think the umpire's wrong,
Tell him so, but jog along;

Play the game!
For his will must be obeyed
Wheresoever baseball's played,
Take his verdict as it's made--
Play the game!
