...should come to me, but to the team." For once, Manager Gabby Street of the St. Louis Cardinals was not loquacious. "We lost-it's no disgrace.

Doubtless Gabby Street was thinking how earlier that afternoon the arm of big George Earnshaw of the Athletics, 6 ft. 4 in. Swarthmore alumnus, had moved back and forth, inning after inning, while the Cardinal batters took turns striking out, grounding out, popping out. Street had made one mistake himself. Instead...

But they are not to be censured for the failure, their high purpose is sufficient evidence of good faith in the matter. That they failed to gratify the dictates of their affections is immaterial.

...comments which appear in the encyclopedia on the subject of Ben Jonson, for instance, than it is to honor the bard and his works with an original treatise. And to complicate matters still further, the former procedure is invariably productive of a better grade. This unfortunate state of affairs doubtless cannot be corrected by consigning to oblivion all critical essays and essayists, past and present; but before absorbing, sponge-like, the views of others, it is, as Professor Matthiessen suggests, a healthy and beneficial process to do some slight amount of original thinking...
