many boys have gone into organized
base ball from these colleges and
made good and that encourages others
TO do likewise. They are willing to
learn and to be farmed out while they
are learning.
But mainly the college bows act
as though they were doing a favor TO
the base ball business by associatins
with it,
AS to the proficiency of the college
