Princeton won the second and deciding baseball game of the series with Yale by the score of 4 to 3 at Princeton last Saturday, thus giving them a strong claim on the title of intercollegiate champions...
Since the first game with Cornell at Ithaca on May 11, which the University team lost by one run, Harvard has had more than its share of defeats, while Cornell has continued its series of victories without a break, until today it has as strong a claim to the premier position in college baseball as any nine.

This shows that the essential feature of the production of wealth is not labor, as the socialists claim, but rather the ability of the inventive and directing brain. Therefore there is no reason why laborers should receive a greater share of the proceeds of industry as wages, which many socialists claim they deserve...
