The Home Run Sports Let's Kill the Umpire Song
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi-

I purchased the handwritten lyrics scanned below for a song called "Let's Kill the Umpire" several months ago. Has anyone ever heard of the song, a production company called "The Home Run Sports", Chuck Melvin, Bob Thatcher, or a show called "An Afternoon at the Ball Game"? I figured this was vaudeville related but I have not been able to find anything about it through my research. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The Home-Run Sports, Chuck Melvin and Bob Thatcher, were a vaudeville duo in the winter of 1911-12.

Thank you John! Lewiston makes sense as I bought it from a Maine antique dealer. I really appreciate the information!
