| Text | The college men in the base ball profession are beginning to make a mark. It offers them congenial occupation and large pay. Of the players in the various prominent nines many are undergraduates who pursue their studies in winter and play ball in the summer, thereby earning enough to defray all the expenses of their education. Sanders of the Philadelphia Club took a course in civil engineering last winter. Gunning of the Athletics was in attendance at the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania; Knowlton of the Eastern Club is a member of the Harvard Medical School; Garfield of the Pittsburgh Club is studying at Oberlin University; Mead and Cahill of the New Haven team are graduates of Holy Cross College in Worcester. Tyng is a Harvard graduates. Wagenhurst comes from Princeton and many other instances could be mentioned. Nor must the cases of John M. Ward and James. H. O’Rourke of the New York club be forgotten. The former took the course of political science in Columbia College, and with the latter attended the lectures in the Yale Law School, where they received their degrees of L L. B. And were afterward admitted to practise before the bar of Connecticut., quoting the Minneapolis Tribune |
