...certain amount of force, why or how it does it they decline to explain. Yyng, of the New York Stock Exchange nine, or the Staten Island nine, as they now call it, is more ready with a theory, which he probably developed at Harvard while taking Ernst's hot balls from the bat. "The out curve," said he, "or the one from right to left, is the only curve that can be made, for the reason that a man can't throw a ball swiftly when he holds it in position to do anything else. To get an out-curve...
...seems to us that there is danger that in the heat of the discussion its true bearings should be lost to sight, and that in the minds of many there should rise the idea that college education and the value thereof was in some way called into question. However hot the debate may be, whatever arguments may be advanced, whichever side may eventually triumph, the great question of the advantages of a collegiate education remains entirely without the province of the debate.

Let us have good soups with some warm meats and vegetables...
...played a fair game. Although at times he has appeared careless and has made errors on comparatively easy balls, some of his plays have been brilliant and his pickups are wonderful. At the bat he has made no hits since the first Yale game, when he put two hot ones to his credit. His base-running as yet is rather listless and he is too much inclined to watch where the ball goes when it leaves his bat. All these faults, however, can be remedied with careful practice by another season...
