The report in another column of Harvard's financial showing in the various sporting departments conveys the interesting information that base ball must needs be reckoned the chief sport in the category in that it brought the most money to the college treasury. The fact that base ball could draw more revenue than all the other college sports combined attests to its popularity and thus entitles it to the premiership of sports. This also applies to Yale, Princeton and all other first-class colleges. In all base ball is really the only self-supporting sport.
