Though in base-ball pitching, a more difficult scientific problem is involved, it cannot be said that the play to meet the curving ball is more difficult than the play to meet the, varying pitch and break of well-bowled balls at cricket.

It certainly does not seem more than right that present college men should be given the preference over intended college men. This complaint is such an old one, that we are ashamed to be obliged to renew it, but it is so well grounded that we feel...
