Easy

You've scooped the vealy city crowd
Of glory and of purse --
Why shouldn't Pegasus be proud
To trot you out in a verse?
Chicago hoped to wallop you
By a tremendous score,
But bit off more than it could chew,
As witness: "5 to 4."
Well done, you 'Ganders! here's a hand
To every one of you;
These record-breakers of the land
Now break themselves in two.
Well get their pennant -- it shall float
Upon our distant shore,
So let each patriotic throat
Hurrah for "5 to 4. "
