...team has been greatly weakened by the loss of several good men. Only five innings were played yesterday, as the visitors left early in order to catch a train.

Birds are enabled to fly only by the resistance of the air during the downward stroke of the wings. During the upward stroke, less resistance is offered, owing to the fact that the wing is convex on the upper side, and is at the same time contracted in area, thus moving with less velocity. In fact instantaneous photographs show that it takes twice the time to complete the upstroke that is needed for the downstroke...
Page, '88, affirmative, said that our best games had been played in those former years when we played with professionals; that every art can best be learned from those whose business it is to practice said art; that a lack of professional training has made the games none the less exciting, while with such training we should have a chance to beat more often...
