In It's dawuing base ball was pastime

the outlet for bOyhood's vocal energy,
the test of greatness and the measure of
glory. The bays of scholarship, the re.
wards of Sunday school rectitude and
the applause of doting psrenthood were
cold and negligible beside the laurels OF
base ball. The immoral advance In the
price OF real estate, the filling in Of the
resounding vacant places Of the city, the
reform of the police, and the malevolence
of window owners, denatured base ball
