...there no returns? These quantities, too, have been much exaggerated. The time wasted (?) is an hour and a half a day during three or four months for a large number of men; and two or three hours daily during some eight weeks for a much smaller number. Add to this five or six whole days for the latter set of men, and the result is the total time expended. Not a bad bargain for young men who want strong bodies and some of whom would otherwise be neglecting and often times actively destroying their constitutions. Each year base-ball...
