...George Washington game on Thursday saw 15 Crimson hits, but the big one came off the bat of George Anderson. Pinch hitting in the ninth for Kessler, who followed Bernstein and Ward to the mound, with the score tied, 7 to 7, two men on and one man out, Anderson unloaded the third varsity homer in as many games for the winning runs...

It takes a very short time, he says, for a hen to learn that when she tugs at a rubber ring, an electrically operated bat will knock a small ball toward a wire-screen outfield and a few grains of wheat will fall into a trough. So the hen pulls the ring, and then runs madly for "first base'' (the trough). If the ball is intercepted by mechanical "defensive players," she knows by experience that...
