...batting this year, in which the nine last year was weak, and men who could not bat, have been refused positions on the team. The battery that was lost last year by the graduation of Harris and Hunt, has been more than replaced by the development of new talent. There have been four batteries in regular training this winter, consisting of Stuart and Poole, Judson and Stearns, Keating and Alvord, and Tenney and Allen. Under the guidance of Welch, a strong corps of pitchers has been developed, great hopes being entertained of Judson especially, who made a remarkable record against...

The poetical powers of Mr. Santayana might, perhaps, be questioned, when he handles that most dangerous of all compositions, the philosophical sonnet, but here they cannot be. The translation is peculiarly happy, and evidences no low order of poetical talent in the writer. The turn of the verse is often very good and leaves the impression of strong reserve power. Little effort or straining after a striking line is noticed, and the result is a piece of work at once powerful and poetical. There are a faint rythm and music...
