Text | Pitcher Stagg is determined that the Yale nine shall win every game it plays during the coming season. In training candidates for the nine he has devised a new scheme for teaching them to slide bases. He has constructed and placed in the gymnasium a pine frame fourteen by seven feet, covered with canvas, drawn tightly, and an overcovering of velvet carpet with its surface elevated about four feet above the ground. The candidates run a distance of twenty feet or so and then hurl themselves headlong upon this new machine. The famous little pitcher says that the nine will be the best Yale has yet produced. |
