...never left the U. S. since his entrance in 1872, had never been a French citizen. Obviously some rogue had taken advantage of his absence to use his name. Elaborately the tribunal apologized. The accused was free to return to Nordheim where, however, far fewer remembered Hartmann the Californian, than Hartmann...
...does not need to hit far-his job is to take a long pass and run it in with an accurate short one. Bostwick, wonderful in the saddle, hits very straight. Elmer Boeseke of California might get on at No. 2 because he works so well with his fellow-Californian, Pedley. Pedley was playing the flashiest game of his life, averaging almost as much distance as Hitchcock on his full-hit shots, often scoring more goals than all the other men on his side put together...

Self-contained, graceful Wood, master of backcourt elegance and a competent volley, was softballing Vines out of his game. In every other match the Californian had undone his opponents with their own strength, using their speed as a foil for his. He could not hit Wood's gentle, accurate chopshots. All he could do was imitate them, flounderingly, unsuccessfully. Score for Woods...
