When Bill finally got to Ira Godin for two runs and won the game in the ninth, the people didn't mind too much. They had just watched the first good baseball game to be played on these fields in three years. Two good teams had taken turns hanging on to a series of one run advantages by combining excellent fielding and fine pitching. Harvard had played a full game with only a harmless error in the infield and without any of the gross errors of judgement which characterized much of last year's play...

Some years ago a British writer observed that the great Tudor had become completely identified with the person of Charles Laughton in the mind of the typical schoolboy.

Jimmy was the cock o' the walk, a witty, debonair, fashion-plate Irishman who could charm a bird down out of a tree. "Mr. New York," they called him, and the Big Town "wore [him] in its lapel" like a carnation (as one wit cracked), and threw him away when the Big Party...
