...said we no longer remember how the victorious fight. But now that we have conquered our hesitancy, now that we have conquered the vain idealism of peace, we will go into war as we have always gone into war: seeking no end but the utmost end, stopping not one stride short of victory.

The batting order seems to have reached its final shape, but the order in the field is not so definite. Beal is filling the hole at third satisfactorily, but the weakness at short may mean some important shift...
