...Louis Owner Breadon, logical purchaser for the stock, offered $60 a share. Player Hornsby scorned this offer, set his price at $105. Continued negotiations accomplished nothing except valuable publicity for Hornsby and intense exasperation among the magnates. With the opening of the season a few days away, National League president John A. Heydler issued a ukase that Hornsby could not play ball for the Giants while owning stock in the Cardinals. Hornsby replied that he would collect his salary from the Giants, play or no play; would sell his St. Louis stock for $105 a share. The situation was described...

But not until now, so far as we can tell, has merriment and its disciples been subjected to the dissecting, knife analysis...
...thesis is that we are a decadent people in the same sense that Imperial Rome was decadent. And the cause for our speedy distingretation he assigns to our tendency to pursue truth, beauty and goodness. As has been already intimated, Part One--On truth--falls utterly to uphold its share in the proof. What is said here of America applies equally to any civilized country. Constantly recurring illustrations, not New York, constitute admission of inconclusive evidence...
