Now batting is only very rarely a natural gift and must be taught...
...have made Harvard their permanent camping ground. Their numbers and influence increase year by year; they are a bane and a nuisance, and should be stamped out from the face of the globe. We refer to those wretched beings called "croakers." We are all familiar with and heartily sick of the man who said last fall that we were sure to be beaten by Princeton; who said this spring that we had no chance for the Mott Haven cup; that the freshman nine was doomed; that Columbia would leave us by many lengths, etc., etc. Naturally men of this stamp...
