Excerpt from The Book of Athletics, Out-of-Door Sports: Containing Practical Advice and Suggestions From College Team-Captains and Other Amateurs, on Foot-Ball, Base-Ball, Tennis, Rowing, Golf, Sprinting, Bicycling, Swimming, Skating, Yachting, Etc What, then, it may be asked, is the justification, if any, for the intense interest in these games, and the spending of so much time and money in their pursuit?
