As the other characters entered, however, interest revived; and the closing conception of the tragedy was set forth clearly and tellingly...

Frequently, too, instructions are given as in baseball by the position of a coach or player on the bench. Given two teams of equal strength and equal equipment in the way of plays, and the modern football game thus becomes a contest of brains between two football strategists, in which the players are like the pieces in a chess game...
