one, says Baltimore American. A
game at all times dangerous is not
apt to have it's perils minimized in the
over-enthusiastic zeal of schoolboys.
What the youth of the country need
to be taught is moderation in all
things, and in this sport, as in the
speed mania, moderation seems to be
next to a physical impossibility.
