For, though there are over 500 able individuals en, roled in the two leagues, there is actually only a handful for whom the grand army of snobbish rooters has eyes, for whom hats are thrown, bottles broken, hosannas raised. And of this handful, nine great names are fanfaronaded louder than all others on the bugles of the press...
