CASEY'S CAREER Besies the publicized strikeout, Casey and his bat had many more experiences that were not so well known by the public. The follow- ing is a brief account of these events. Casey joined the team in September, 1950. He entered the stadium at 41st and Herman Streets with his mind in a state of utter con- fusion, awed at the vastness of the place and the number of people that it held. At the first meeting Casey and his team mates got some in- itial instructions from the owner of the club, Mr. Clem, and assistant, Miss Kornfeld. Casey was also handed a rule book named the Mudville Counsellor . In order to make the squad, all the players had to know the rules, regulations, and policies of the team. Aft- er a few more instruc- .'.L'... tions, Casey was dismissed from the meeting, and a good thing, too, for his confusion had reached its peak. The first year was really hard work, but Casey kept on pluggin' away. After six weeks of hard labor, the league officials and President gave Casey a report of his progress. His results were passing! Be- cause of his hard work during the rest of the season, the team asked Casey to return for a second year. The next season went very smoothly until the President and the league officials called Casey in for a conference about his plans aft- er he graduated from the league. It was ex- plained to Casey that he had a long life in front of him, and he must do some research on future vocations. Casey spent several days off the diamond and in the library reading and writing about prospective jobs for old age . The league officers and umpires read over the work very carefully. Casey and most of his team mates survived the ordeal, and continued on with their career. Casey also had to read several more books during his second season in order to enlarge his know- ledge on the tricks of the trade . The year progressed, and Casey looked longingly for next season, when he would be a Senior on lf the squad. On the last day of the season Casey -Q got to occupy the choice f X seats in the dugout, as the Seniors had left for a new and faster league. Casey and his team mates were tops now, next year the baseballs were going to fly! This was the big year. The President called a meeting, and the team was organized. The players bought their of- ficial team ringsg was Casey proud! The club also elected a captain, Lee Sanders, and his assistant, Gene Mueller, Veda Stayer was chosen to take notes for the club-house meetings, and George Bartels was given the job of taking care of the players' extra money. Charles Bickel played the piano when Barb- ara Tyree, Joan Krout, and Janet Cecil were leading the Mudville bandwagon. Tommy Casper had to keep order in the Club house. The team also elected their new manager, Mrs. Elizabeth Ford. Mudville had some very grave finincial problems, and the team offi- cials got together to try and solve them. Many extra activities besides the game were planned to raise money. Some of the occasions did not draw many people, but the team did come out ahead. At last came the final World Series game June 10. In brand-new uniforms, before a flower-decked stadium, Casey and his team performed their best, accompanied by thund- ering applause they were promoted to a big- ger and faster league.
