Although the nine played its second errorless game in two days, the mere fact that no errors were made yesterday can not be taken as too encouraging a sign of fielding strength.

...entirely by people who had had experience in self-government, today the additions come from countries where the people are degraded and the democratic idea hardly exists. It is unnatural to suppose that evolution to a bigher type can take place for many years to come.
