1 clipping from Wilson, North Carolina.

Newspaper poem headed Play Cat, credited to James Dempsey Bullock, reading Heavy are the hearts in Wilson, bowed each head in shame. Our base ball club is losing almost every game. The rabbit foot long ago has lost its magic power, and the Ouija board no solace gives, in this dark and trying hour. Be still sad heart and cease repining. For every cloud has a silver lining, and every one is good for something, we are sure of that. And while they can't play ball perhaps they can play Cat.
