Again a baseball game
Life is so monotonous
Visited relatives in the
Bronx.

Matt's Notes

I assume Papa caught the Giants-Pittsburgh matchup at the Polo Grounds en route to his relatives in the Bronx. (If the Yankees were in town he might have seen them, but they were in St. Louis playing the Browns.) Papa would have taken the 9th Avenue Line to the Polo Grounds at 155th street, jumped off, watched the game, and jumped back on to cross over into the Bronx.

Alas, failing to sense Papa's terrible ennui, the Giants worsened his mood by losing, 7-6.
