From the above IL is not difficult
to see that the gentle art OF observa-

science Of baseball. The only way
that this discovery could have been
made BY Griffith and Jennings was By
long, cool and careful observation.
In this connection IL might be noted
that Hughie Jennings claims to be
able TO tell after the game the com
Ilete story OF any contest. Including
the manner in which every player
was retired. the direction in which
every hit was made and the progress
of every man round the bases.

Tuthill makes fine distinction in
