Here is a specimen of western base-ball reporting as shown in the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Umpire Young seems to be a sublime ignoramus, who adds bull-headed obstinancy to the most prodigious bump of vanity that mortal ever possessed."

The Harvard boys pin all their hopes for the Inter-collegiate Championship on their ability to "bang" any pitcher in the college league. All their energies are bent towards perfecting themselves in that portion of the game. "Doing the net act" is the popular means to this end. They have a net about eight feet high, stretched across a portion of the ball field, and before this the entire nine stand and endeavor to "block" the curved balls that their fellow collegians put in to them. Many men can be found in college, outside the regular team, who have very good curves and shoots, and it is to the practice received in this way that the Harvard boys attribute all the hard-bitting quarries of last year's nine. - N.
