The outlook for a good base ball season is exceptionally good this year. There is a large number of the old men back and a number of new men have come in, who are expected to make a good showing.

We are not given to boasting for we know that self praise is half scandal. However, we have lost much of our verdancy and in this year in Northwestern, we have shown the other people that we are able to do something.
