...hope is offered that chess may again obtain the high place its history demands, and the amusement and relaxation of Khufu, of Solomon and of Archimedes, regain its ancient luster. The sightless couriers of the air have been harnessed to bring unseen thought from the far corners of the earth. The very winds will rattle to the messages of opposing plays, even as they now rattle to the cabalistic numerals of the quarterbacks on any Saturday afternoon. What incentive will be given to the young Edisons, with their apparatus of chicken wire and a clothes pole, to catch from...
...Ozymandias, king of kings, were "scrapped" relentlessly by those moderns of long ago--scrapped in contemptuous fragments. Nothing more forever of Tirhaka the magnificent, of Tanut-Amon the irresistible! They were consigned to the deepest dump. But here comes a delving American scholar, from far-away around the earth, and, seeking for a place to put his own rubbish, inpinges upon the rubbish of the up-to-date builder of twenty-six centuries gone; he finds the pieces of Tirhaka and Tanut-Amon, reconstitutes them with care, and promotes them to the chiefest honor among the denizens of Napata.

...immense potential power and knowledge of the game. Its feet, for the first time in several seasons, rest upon the bed-rock of fundamental excellence.

...time to put the runner out. The next victim fanned the air. A third went to the plate with a stately tread. It was a sky-rocket, not long but high. That little black sphere in the center of the big shining orb was coming down to mother earth, but it never struck because Orrin Day (second baseman) was in the way. The impact knocked him over, but he held up the ball and the game...
