...would argue that this business system makes German administration perfect but it is a stride in the right direction. You cannot get a good man without offering him a good place, and as long as the United States refuses to offer any worthy inducement to proper men, the present unsatisfactory state of municipal government will remain...

With such a general interest in baseball, as the attendance yesterday indicated, the university nine may look for hearty support, and base ball will take a decided stride in advance. It needs only a continuation of this spirit to give the nine encouragement that will carry it a long way toward victory.

Only those accustomed to running on loose cinders can show to advantage on the tracks in New York City. The long heavy stride developed on a hard, firm clay track is totally unsuited to ground that cups at every step. Practice on a cinder track, however, in time develops a short light step eminently adapted to loose ground...
