Pitcher Has No Use for Nerves.

It seems to me-" says Andy Coakley of the Cubs, that in hitting a ~layer with a ball. whether the accident re- suits seriously or not. is much like shooting a man in a battle-you worry about it for a moment, and then go about your business shooting a few more, if necessary. My experience with Bresnahan and McGann of the Giants was a case in point. Of course. I felt extremely sorry for hitting those fellows, but that did not prevent me shooting the ball with all the speed at Bill Dahlen who was the baseman to follow the two men I had placed on the hospital list. Nor did I feel scary or contrite when I faced Bresnahan when he made his reappearance against me after his recovery.
 There was no feeling on his part toward me for what I had done, and l tried as hard as ever to get him out of the way in regular fashion. But as for these or similar accidents taking a pitchers nerve away. there isn't chance, provided the pitcher has any nerve in the first place"

The latest catalogue of the Connec- tieut Agricultural college, at Storrs is sufficiently attractive to act as an enticement to any young man inclined to farming. It is replete with illus trations calculated not only to tell at a glance something of the work done at the institution, but to draw man back to nature.
