...which it is the duty of the captain of every organization to seek to attain among his men. The men at New London are always worked as hard as the coach thinks that they will stand without making them sick, and it is very necessary that they should be cool and comfortable when off duty and resting, therefore they are provided with these flannel coats and trousers which are thinner, and cooler than the ordinary summer coat and trousers...

A successful player in either game must have a good physique and a cool head. Foot ball, to be sure, as generally played today, is conceded to be too rough and dangerous, but even foot ball helps to train a man in physical and mental alertness. Base ball, being attended with less danger, and being doubtless a more scientific game, is still more beneficial...
