...Unless the tobacco tax is repealed the revenue will not be sufficiently reduced.- Congressional Record, 43d Cong., 2d Sess., March 3d, 1875; 45a Congress, 3d Congress, March 1st, 1879; 47th Congress, 2d session...
...especially noticeable in the case of King, the pitcher. He has been playing all summer, and it is stated on excellent authority that no more than four or five base-hits were made in several games off his delivery. The other men have also progressed, and from present indications, unless rapid advances are made by Harvard and Yale, Princeton, bids fair to win the laurels of the base-ball championship this year...
Several single events will undoubtedly fall to the other colleges, but none will approach dangerously near to the great Universities. Sherrill, Sherman, Berger, Harmer and Coxe, who took prizes at Mott Haven last season, are still in college, although Coxe will not enter unless it is absolutely necessary. Sherrill will undoubtedly win the 100-yards dash, although Rogers of Harvard will be a close second and push him for first place. Sherrill and Robinson both have a fair chance in the 220-yard dash, but neither is a sure winner against Wells of Harvard and Banks of Columbia...
...Yale is weak, and the race will lie between Banks, of Columbia, who holds the world's record at that distance, and Wells, of Harvard, who is remarkably fast and will push Banks very closely for first place. In the half-mile run, too, Yale is pretty weak, and unless some new man turns up this event will go to Cogswell, of Harvard, who was entered in the fall games last year, or Faries, of the U. of P. Both of these men are strong runners at that distance and the winner will have to make good time. Dana...
...hammer and shot with ease, otherwise Lafayette will probably win the events. Yale's chances in the tug-of-war are better than ever before, but both Columbia and Harvard will be hard to beat. On the whole Yale's chances are not particularly good unless Coxe enters. Sherrill, Berger, Harmer and Shearman may be counted on, but these will not be enough to retain the cup. If, however, Coxe wins his two events again, Yale is in no danger of having to surrender the highly-valued punch-bowl.- New Haven Union...
