...main work was done on the summit of the mound. Here a great Roman stair 80 feet in width was discovered in June. At the top of the stairway is a large paved area flanked by massive walls, on which were found the inverted bases of four columns. Beyond the paved platform, there are probably the remains of a temple. To the west of the stairway a chamber 20 by 40 feet in size was found partly cut in the rock. A large pit in the floor was not explored because of lack of time. At the foot...
...bases. But, on the other hand, there were many bright spots in the work of the team, such as Leonard's base-running, and the fielding.

One of the most important causes is that "the practices of corporations that need public franchises have been often corrupt." And finally, "legislative remedies for these evils have been hindered by a false theory that a city ought...
...taken of late in that kind of sport is a most healthy manifestation, which deserves, in the estimation of the most ardent supporter or the most vehement opponent of intercollegiate athletics, every possible encouragement. And yet, of Soldiers, Field only 24 acres, or less than half of its total area, are available for use. The cricket team was driven out of existence by the pressure of other teams, and worst of all, as our need increased out of all proportion to our resources, the Leiter Cup baseball series became history...
