What you’re looking at

**Top Section:** "The Baseball Season" shows three comic baseball plays: "Up-shoot," "Fancy Twirler," and "A Slide" — satirizing exaggerated baseball movements through anthropomorphic figures, likely poking fun at the sport's theatrical drama. **Main Article:** "Kissing at Mills' College" discusses Rev. J.K. McLean defending Dr. Stratton, late President of Mills College, against charges he kissed girls at the school. The text presents McLean's defense that such kissing was innocent. The article then pivots to broader criticism of the State Bar Association, questioning whether it should investigate "disbarment of every attorney guilty of deplorable practices." **Bottom:** A small "Recrimination" dialogue between figures, apparently satirizing mutual accusations or deflection. The page blends satirical humor with substantive critique of institutional propriety and legal ethics.
