This order of appearance is highly probable especially after the most recent of the disasters which have beset Captain Hammond's team in the loss of Toulmin for the remainder of the year. Toulmin threw out his arm in practice, straining a tendon, and it is practically certain that the injured member will keep him on the bench for the rest of his last college season. The loss of a pitcher who has proved so effective during three years of University competition is an exceedingly serious handicap to a pitching staff which has shown itself to be the weakest division...

We of Yale live in a city and bonfires should not be started...
...Maria Jeritza declared that Tenor Piccaver, with whom she had been singing in Cavallcria Ritsticana, had sabotaged her success, stolen her thunder, seduced her applause, refused to throw her down as his role demanded. Vienna papers recalled what had happened to Maria Jeritza when another embattled tenor, Beniamino Gigli, threw her, as his role did not demand, into the footlights of the Metropolitan Opera House, Manhattan (TIME.
