...batteries still continue their work at the Carey Building and the results of faithful work and Mr. Keefe's coaching are beginning to be seen. The pitchers show better command of the ball and are able to throw the curves which they have learned with more speed than heretofore. The catchers are learning from experience to judge the curves with more certainty and some of them from present appearances will make good backstops. No choice can yet be made, as work in the cage does not bring out a catcher's all around ability...
...battery candidates have been working faithfully in the cage for almost two weeks and some fair material is being developed from the new men. Several among the catchers show promise of doing well and the chance of developing a good substitute catcher from among these is good.

The Worcester Athletic Club will hold an open meeting January 26. Entries close today and may be made with Mr. Lathrop at the Gymnasium...
...character of Mr. Rose in "The New Republic," written by Mallock. Pater's beautiful book on the Renaissance, and his enchanting volume of imaginary portraits, show him at his best. This unquestioned masterpiece, however, is "Marius the Epicurean," which, to a well tuned mind, is one of the most beautiful, suggestive and inspiring books in the English language. It is not the philosophy of the book, but rather its pictorial qualities which make it attractive. In contrast to Matthew Arnold, who wished to make the best things prevail, Pater dwells upon the best things, without trying to make them prevail...
