Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 100, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 April 1915 — Back to Noah Webster. [ARTICLE]

Back to Noah Webster.

Baseball slang henceforth will have no rating in college baseball if the reformers have their way in regard to the series between Harvard, Yale and Princeton this spring. Such phrases as “At a boy,” “Workin’ all the time” and “we’ll git him fer yuh” will have to give way to the purest of college English. The pitcher and catcher will be the only ones" allowed to talk during the game. No place for Heine Zimmerman or John McGraw. -*
