The latter, who started against the Cambridge Latin team, allowed only two hits and struck out seven in four innings of service.

Secretary Wilbur, in particular, had to answer an irate telegram from Joseph Pool, the 15-year-old's father, asking how such things could happen. Since Navy tradition mentions only a wife in every port and none on shipboard and the regulations say very little about human nature, there was nothing that Secretary Wilbur could say beyond expressing regret...
