Recent months, while the Van Sweringens were trying and failing to effect their Nickel Plate System as a competitor in the East to the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and the B. & O., the country has been watching this man. He was known to control the Delaware & Hudson with its 30-odd affiliated companies in the East. In the Middle West he was chairman of the Kansas City Southern, boss of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (the "Katy") and of the St. Louis Southwestern (the "Cotton Belt"). Of the latter road Edwin Gould was nominally chairman, the last of the Goulds...
...were still on, and only one was out. On the next play, Tobin hit to the shortstop who tried for Zarakov at the home plate. The catcher dropped the ball, Zarakov scored, and Todd and Tobin paused at first and third. Todd scored when the shortstop booted Chauncey's grounder, and Chauncey took second, and Tobin scored a moment later on a passed ball. After Chase struck out, Sullivan and the wind combined to give Harvard another hit and run, and Barbee's single scored Sullivan after the latter had pilfered the keystone sack. Barbee took second on a wild...

...Freshman ball players had on their hitting clothes in the early innings of yesterdays game with Wentworth Institute and shoved enough markers across the plate in the first canto to down the invaders. The first-year diamond team scored five times in the first, and the final count was 8 to 1. After the initial bombardment, during which the losers chalked up their Ione marker, both teams settled down and played fairly tight ball. Wentworth gathered six hits off the deliveries of three Crimson twirlers while the winning stickers were collecting nine safe blows from a pair of school...
Both teams turned in several misplays and the infields were slow in handling their chances. Miyakawa, diminutive Chinese short fielder for the Freshmen, led the attack for the winners with two safe hits in three trips to the plate. He drew two passes, scored a brace of counters and sparkled in the field. Durkee, heavy hitting left fielder for the Crimson nine was the other slugging luminary with two clean drives. He also worked the opposing moundmen for two free trips. Malloy started on the hill against the Wentworth squad, but was relieved early and Ketchum was sent...
