...those who know Leavitt it is not necessary to say that there is not a word of truth in the above. The real facts are these: Shearman had at the games a pole which he had neglected to test beforehand, and when he came to use it he found that it was too heavy. He thought that Leavitt's pole would suit him better, and requested the loan of it.

...very freely, however, Newark getting twelve hits with a total of seventeen. The nine as a whole still lack the ability to make quick decisions and allow men to get bases at times when there is no excuse for it. By this time every man ought to know what to do, even if there are three men on bases. Another fact is noticeable.
