...sign myself in the old-time Incas that my father taught me in the ancient way with a hatchet and a slab of marble. He was an able scholar...
...nine 3-1 for four innings, a combination of unfortunate circumstances, including a change of umpires and pitchers, gave the Freshmen a four run advantage which the key men were unable to overcome. Inasmuch as it was the initial workout, Captain Lazo did not dare leave any of his slab-men in the box for more than two innings, as any glass arms on the pitching staff would prove disastrous on May 30, when the high stand men meet the Eli scholars.

...University, due to the brilliant twirling of Mahan who, besides pitching an air-tight game, drove in two runs. Judging from the way he fooled the Penn. batters in the first contest, Coach Mitchell will doubtless send him into the box again tomorrow. Spielman, the opposing team's star slab-man, will probably face Mahan...
