...McCormack's Tobin lacks so good an excuse for taciturnity. He is kept in-articulate on principle. Poor Tobin could not have adequately shown his feelings in real life; and, Mr. McCormack apparently argues, we ought therefore not to expect to find them described in a work of literature.

Since the regular diamond is still soft, the second team field was used. The ground was rough, prohibiting smooth fielding. Coach Sexton kept the pitchers in check, and only a few curves were used.

In a few days the candidates will be divided into first and second squads...

The authorities at Yale and Princeton had for some time believed in just such a change, and had proposed it earlier in the year...
