The Knickerbockers play ball in the spirit it ought to be played, and not as if it was an important business, to be attended to as a business. Another thing we notice, and in this as in other respects their example should be followed, and that is, that even in their practice-games they play according to the strict rules of the game, balls being called for unfair delivery, and strikes for failure to bat at good balls, as promptly as if they were engaged in a regular match. This is the right way to practice, even for “the fun of the thing,” as the saying is.
