This would be clearly impracticable, for if the dean didn't accidentally get his room-mate's apparel, the delinquent could. And besides there might be unfortunate publicity if a yard-cop should collar the administrator of justice, and turn him over to the Brattle Square police for investigation of his previous court record...

In 1917, Paddy McDonald, a New York cop, picked up a similar ball and heaved it 47 feet 7½ inches, thereby setting a national championship mark for the A. A. U.
