Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 5: May, 1905 Last year the Farm School found itself without a baseball team, due to the lack of material to choose from; this year we have the material, and we will also have the team. If, however, some of the students who do not take an interest in baseball do not stop their nagging and chewing about the little extra work they are compelled to do, in order to have the ball-players excused from some of the work to enable them to practice, we will again find our selves without a baseball team. A fellow who growls and complains because he has to do five or ten minutes' more work to help do the work of some baseball player deserves a good thumping. We are very glad to be able to announce that we have succeeded in securing the services of both Professor Halligan and Professor Merrill as coaches of our baseball team. They are both efficient baseball players, understanding the game thoroughly, and we have not the slightest bit of doubt but that they will develop a good team, even though they are handicapped by having the team composed of somewhat green material.
