...find that one of our greatest problems is located in the vicinity of Hanover, New Hampshire," reads a semi-official statement of the W.C.T.U. The Harvard Stadium clean-up squad, entrusted with the task of clearing away empty bottles from beneath the stands, has often sympathized with that organization after visits of the Indian team to Cambridge.

Son of a well-to-do Manhattan brewer with a home on Fifth Avenue, he made his players clean the cages of his private menagerie before he would bring the bat and ball down to the vacant lot where they played. He fired any player who struck out. For young Jake could not bear to see his team lose...
