...worst was yet to come. Injuries, bad luck, and player trouble struck hard at the band of diamond hopefuls Floyd Stahi had left on Solidiers Field. Bill Tully was slow to recover from a serious appendectomy; Captain Tom Healey has been bothered by a sore arm much of the spring; Charley Brackett went on probation; Torble Macdonald hurt his ankle; and Gene Lovett and Charley Spreyer decided that the team could do without their services the rest of this year...
Highlights in the 49 year jester-journalist diamond rivalry were recalled by veteran observers and innocent bystanders yesterday.

The fluid is shot in a tiny, powerful jet from a diamond (to prevent rapid wearing away) orifice two-thousandths of an inch in diameter, at a pressure of 15,000 lb. per sq. in. Such a jet penetrates the skin, enters the flesh and spreads to a depth of nearly an inch...
