...action a nine that is better in every respect than any Crimson outfit in recent years. As goes the pitcher, so goes the team is almost a truism in baseball, but thought Barbee is not scheduled to see action today against the Brown team, either Cutts or Booth can supply the necessary poise to make the rest of the Harvard nine look good...
Cutts last appearance on the mound was against Holy Cross in the return game at Worcester. He hurled only for one inning after Booth had given way to a pinchhitter, but he allowed the Purple sluggers no hits, retiring them in one-two-three order in the last half of the eighth inning. The Sophomore's last start was against today's invaders, when he did not allow a bit for five innings. In the sixth he was touched for a lone bingle, and in the seventh he was removed after walking three men and allowing another to hit safely...
...Booth, who will pitch if Cutts does not, worked for seven stanzas against Holy Cross in his last appearance. Though he was hit freely throughout and allowed eight runs in the first and second innings, he pitched shut-out ball after that until removed for a pinchhitter in the Harvard half of the eighth. Against Brown in the opening game, he relieved Cutts in the seventh and blanked the Bears to gain credit for the victory after Harvard forged ahead behind his pitching in the last two frames...

...working. They are, contradiction or not, colloquial and affected, at the same time reminiscent of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, and yet this latest volume of his verse shows that he can still hit down at the root of things in the same manner that has made "General William Booth" and "The Congo" such favorites with both perspicuous readers and amateur reciters...
