...with great regret that we are compelled to differ with our esteemed and sanguinary [con]-temporary in the matter of the New Zolaian Society. But to the most casual observation it is evident that a Chinese pickpocket has an oily pigtail and a glass body. No one who knows anything about the matter will think otherwise. Therefore we are right and our co[n] temporary is wrong, Q. E. D., Ipse dixit." This exhibitorial seemed to make a very favorable impression, and was at once accepted...

This opportunity was thrown away...

In all intercollegiate contests it is always understood that only amateurs can compete, and the absence of the professional element in base ball heretofore should have warned these men that, by becoming members of a professional club, they ceased to be amateurs, and disfranchised themselves, so to speak. In other words, a long standing precedent becomes in effect a law. These facts...
