Scannell was forced at second by Steven's hit and a moment later Stevenson was put out at the plate in attempting to come home on Garrison's grounder to R. Reed. Then Anderson got his base on balls and with the bases full Paine got a hit. Stevens and Garrison scored but Anderson was caught off third...
Will Wordsworth survive as Lucretius survives, through the splendor of certain sunbursts of imagination refusing for a passionate moment to be subdued by the unwilling material in which it is forced to work, while that material takes fire in the working as it can and will only in the hands of genius?

But the hard unintelligence, which is just now our bane, cannot be conquered by storm, it must be supplied and reduced by culture, by a growth in the variety, fullness, and sweetness of our spiritual life; and this end can only be reached by studying things that...
